Based on Tony Hillerman’s crime novels, Dark Winds’ two seasons is a showcase for Zahn McClarnon playing a police officer forging a path between two cultures.
A period police drama where right and wrong are consistently clouded by history, perspective, and ulterior motives,unfolds with a friction between contrasting paths. Navajo police lieutenant Joe Leaphorn , a tribal officer overseeing Navajo country in the dusty northern reaches of Arizona, sees himself serving his people and community, but some of those same people call him a “traitor” because he’s a figure of official authority.
Zahn McClarnon plays Navajo police lieutenant Joe Leaphorn in the mystery series Dark Winds, based on the crime novels of Tony Hillerman., which debuted in June 2022. The list of executive producers includes actor and filmmaker Robert Redford and Games of Thrones author George R.R.
It was worth it. While there is some push and pull between the tight momentum of a crime thriller and the well-observed sense of community and shared heritage that the storytelling reveals, this is a series that puts genre pieces together with insight. The first season turns on two crimes that matter to different lawmen.
Both law enforcement officers need each other, but neither trusts the other. The audience’s guide to how Leaphorn works this jurisdictional stand-off is his new deputy, Jim Chee . College-educated, like Leaphorn, but away from the Navajo Nation for years, Chee is diligent but dubious – the traditional beliefs and knowledge that Leaphorn and his sergeant, Bernadette Manuelito , include in their official work looks like superstition or worse to him.
