Matt Roush says...
SUNDAY: With a pungent period soundtrack (The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Santana), the 1970s-set crime drama sends its Navajo police heroes from the reservation to Los Angeles in search of the runaway teen Billie (Isabel DeRoy-Olson) and the mysterious assassin Irene Vaggan (Franka Potente) on her trail. For Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon), this is an opportunity to reach out to his estranged wife, Emma (Deanna Allison), while his deputy Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon) continues to sulk over his girlfriend-partner Bernadette (Jessica Matten) keeping Joe’s impending retirement and her potential promotion a secret. Chee’s nosebleeds, a symptom of “ghost sickness” and psychological trauma, are becoming more than a distraction.
