    This is a well-built show, where the relatively unusual setting, plus the performance at the heart of it, breathes new life into old cliches. At this point, Dark Winds is already doing variations on its own themes. But they're good themes, and interesting variations. Change can be overrated sometimes, when you're already good at what you do.

    It is a knotty, atmospheric mystery that still feels fleet enough to be tackled in one or two binges.

    Dark Winds feels like it will deftly combine a standard murder mystery, tribal traditions and difficulties, and supernatural elements, tied together by a great performance by McClarnon.
