This [fourth] episode and the ones that follow prove that McClarnon is a singular performer in modern television, one who, with each season of “Dark Winds,” gives a more heart-wrenching performance than the last. .... In cracking open the emotional core of each of its characters, season three shapes up to be one of the most magnificent seasons of television released this decade. Read full review

Dark Winds’ season premiere perfectly lays the groundwork for the remaining seven outings and features great performances from McClarnon, Gordon, Matten, and Deanna Allison. Read full review

Feb 28, 2025

The show is clearly well-crafted by showrunner John Wirth and the rest of the writers, who have well-succeeded in their construction of a mystery series that continuously lives up to the hype. Read full review

There are grittier, hipper, more popular crime dramas coursing through the TV/streaming ecosystem – “Tulsa King,” “Presumed Innocent,” “The Rookie” — but none of those shows can match the quality of AMC’s “Dark Winds.” .... “Dark Winds” continues to feel taut and rightsized. Read full review

Old school sleuthing and shootouts to character development and ambitious visuals (especially in upcoming episodes), Season Three of Dark Winds thrillingly defies expectations. Read full review

The Mercury News Randy Myers

Mar 6, 2025

Season 3 maintains the same high standards from before and presents a twisty mystery and goes to darker moral places. It’s creepier too. Read full review

“Dark Winds” can feel somewhat airless when McClarnon isn’t on screen. It’s a performance that carries the show, especially with Leaphorn so haunted by his choices. Read full review
