Fantastic show in general. The Navajo element elevates it for sure. Leaphorn is legend.

It’s really enjoyable. I loved the jailhouse cameos from the executive producers.

I'll watch Zahn McClarnon in pretty much anything, but he really seems to be getting typecast in the tribal police officer role

Great show. I always recommend it to everyone. Even to those that didn’t ask. Haw haw.

Wonderful show! A nice blend of period crime drama with some supernatural elements, and a really solid cast. I recommend it to as many people as I can. (Also the guy who plays Chee is sooooo cute)

I admit i haven’t seen the latest season (it’s on our list) but i can say we have enjoyed (especially the 1st two seasons) the series. We recommend it to others, unfortunately it’s in Alberta, Canada… think Texas without the 2nd amendment but all the bigotry a 50yr consecutive conservative government could breed.

Great show. Really enjoyed Chaske Spencer guesting this season too.

I watch the show but I don’t like it nearly so much as I *want* to like it. It looks amazing with all the older cars, ‘70s fashion, and the Res settings. I like the three leads, though I’m not totally sold on Gordon’s and Matten’s acting chops. Big fan of the source material. It’s the writing that’s the weak link for me. The central mysteries themselves have been pretty “meh” and the main characters don’t seem as developed as they should be. I agree with you about Spencer - he was the best thing about this season IMO. He never particularly impressed me in other projects but his performance on *Dark Winds* has now made me a legit “Chaske Spencer Fan”.

Have you seen The English?

Yeah. I remember liking it, but I don’t recall Spencer being that great. Like, I recall him doing a *good* job, but he didn’t particularly stand out. I think in *Dark Winds* he definitely stands out. But I may have to rewatch *The English* now.
