Matt Roush says...
The excellent adaptation of Dark Winds, based on Tony Hillerman’s Navajo Nation mysteries, set in the 1970s, returns for a third season (already renewed for a fourth), with Zahn McClarnon (Reservation Dogs) again projecting a warm, unassuming authority as Navajo Tribal Police Lt. Joe Leaphorn. We first see him in a moment of crisis before the story flips back seven days to Leaphorn and Deputy Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon) investigating the disappearance of two missing boys, one Hispanic and one Navajo. One of the youths reported being chased by “a monster,” and certainly dangers lurk in those desert lands.
Some 450 miles south in New Mexico, former deputy turned Border Patrol agent Bernadette Manuelito (Jessica Matten) intercepts an immigrant mother and daughter and suspects human trafficking, though her condescending boss tells her not to worry her “pretty little eyes.” Joining the cast: Jenna Elfman as FBI agent Sylvia Washington, who’s come to the reservation to “button up some cold cases,” which could create a problem for Leaphorn.
