Season four allows each of its performers to deliver affecting and career-best work, proving that as long as the show’s writers continue to find meaningful cases that push its characters close to the brink, this series will continue to be a defining touchstone that withstands the test of time.

Thanks to his chemistry with his castmates, and his leaning into a boyish charm that came off as stilted inexperience in prior seasons—along with even better than ever turns from Matten and McClarnon, make season four of Dark Winds a new high watermark for this ever burgeoning crime saga.

Although the new fourth season lacks a defining episode like season three’s sixth episode, “Abidooniidee (What We Had Been Told),” featuring lead character Joe Leaphorn on an emotional, hallucinatory journey, season four manages to advance all its characters’ stories, even as they spend more time than ever off the reservation.

While the fourth season of Dark Winds is taking a chance by going off the rez, seeing Leaphorn, Chee and Manuelito facing big changes brings interesting context to what might be normally be considered a standard police thriller case. Read full review

Nicely crafted, but still Hillerman-lite. Read full review
