AMC's DarkWinds is an engrossing and entertaining thriller led by an incredible Zahn McClarnon performance.
If there’s anything that the great detective thrillers of the past have taught us, it’s that setting is everything. In a genre that so often tackles themes of corruption and brutality, it stands to reason that a detective thriller will only ever be as rich and compelling as the place it’s set in. It’s for that reason that classic Golden Age noirs like Sunset Blvd.
Unearthing the truth As is the case with any great mystery, Dark Winds’ themes and moral questions only gradually become clear over the course of the series’ six episodes. The show’s premiere opens with both a thrilling bank robbery and an unexpected double homicide.
A pitch-perfect ensemble The impact of Dark Winds’ odd pacing is lessened by the strength of the show’s characters. McClarnon’s Joe Leaphorn, in particular, makes a lasting impression. McClarnon has always had an undeniably magnetic screen presence , but he is given his biggest and best role to date in Dark Winds. As Leaphorn, a Native American man struggling to protect his people while simultaneously dealing with his own, intense personal losses, McClarnon is astonishing.
A worthwhile story As for the two mysteries at the center of Dark Winds, it may be disappointing to hear that they aren’t quite as complex as the show’s early episodes might have you believe. However, the series makes the wise choice to reveal certain key details about Leaphorn’s two cases early on in Dark Winds’ six-episode run.
