There’s good news for fans of tough, taut drama:
“Dark Winds” (shown here) will be back for its fourth season. It arrives earlier than usual (Feb. 15 on the AMC cable channel) and gets its three main characters back together.
Based on Tony Hillerman novels, the show has been produced by the late Robert Redford and George R.R. Martin, the “Games of Thrones” author. In each of its first three seasons, it had a 100-percent score among critics tabulated by Rotten Tomatoes.
“Dark Winds” focuses on Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon, shown here), a police lieutenant in the Navajo Nation in the 1970s, and on his young deputies, Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon) and Bernadette Manuelito (Jessica Matten).
Last season was rough for everyone. Manuelito left to become a border guard, embroiled in her own crisis. Leaphorn was shot and left for dead. Also, he was overwhelmed by the burden of covering up his previous murder of a villain; he became depressive and his wife left him.
Now those three will be back together and on new turf: When a Navajo girl is taken, Leaphorn, Chee and Mauelito head to Los Angeles’ gritty underworld.
Leaphorn leaps to LA in February
