AMC’s Dark Winds season 1 got some pushback for its somewhat controversial depiction of Navajo customs and spirituality, but season 2 smartly course-corrected and fixed the problem. Dark Winds is set in the time period of the 1970s, with the action unfolding in Navajo Nation in Arizona. The story follows tribal police detective Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon), who finds himself investigating a gruesome double murder on Navajo land alongside his steady sergeant, Bernadette Manuelito (Jessica Matten), and new, city boy deputy Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon).
