Interesting backstory, very entertaining series.

Interesting backstory, very entertaining series. When was the last time a series was set with what seems to be a very true to life look at the Navajo nation?

The main plot was a takeoff on somethings we've certainly seen before, but 70 years into the TV era what has not been done before? That being said, Dark Winds put its own spin on the story.

I looked forward to Sundays to catch the next episode in this story, and will hope that there will be a season two.

promising series but not all there yet

Warning: Spoilers
With just six episodes in the season, this is a review for the whole season rather than individual episodes. This series shows promise but its weakness is falling back on hoary old cops & robbers tropes. The FBI agent turns out to be a bad guy, who didn't see that one coming for example. Casting Noah Emmerich alone should have told you that.

If next season focuses more on the Navajo cops battling supernatural threats, that could work out much better and avoid the cop show cliches. Of course they'd be on their own. The FBI won't believe any X-Files stories from them. If anything, the FBI would suspect local people, perhaps the cops, of making up crazy stories to cover up wrongdoing.

There were a lot of dangling threads left over. If James Tso committed the motel murders, how did he manage to frighten Anna to death? Why were there claw marks at the motel? If Frank Nakai (who can never die) really survived being shot and blown up, was that courtesy of the witch (Sally's mother) and did she actually die in the house fire?

Hopefully Season 2 will provide some answers.

Cave of wonders

Was kind of hoping for a big twist, instead the finale just slowly unfolded in the cave in fairly expected ways. Still decent acting and good cinematography.

What?...

The finale was a complete letdown. A below par episode. Disappointed. I thought the actors were confused too. Too dark. Will give the next season a look taut if it continues like this 🤦‍♀️
