After the conclusion of House of the Dragon Season 2, fans of George R.R. Martin can turn to his spine-tingling thriller series, Dark Winds, now available on Netflix.
While fans have been urging the author to complete his renowned books, it has been revealed that Dark Winds is not a covert adaptation of Game of Thrones. Martin has been occupied with other projects, serving as Executive Producer on shows like Dark Winds.
Despite potentially going unnoticed, the Western series has received a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score, making it a must-watch psychological noir thriller. Luckily, it is now included in the lineup of new TV shows on Netflix, allowing for immediate binge-watching.
Set to premiere on AMC in 2022, Dark Winds is an adaptation of Tony Hillerman’s novel. The series chronicles the work of Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee, Navajo Tribal Police officers who served in the Four Corners region of the US in the 1970s.
Their journey commences as they delve into a string of apparently unconnected offenses, forcing both officers to confront their troubled pasts and lingering scars.
Following its initial season, the show was renewed for a second season in 2023 and is currently in production for a third. It was made available on the streaming service on August 19, with both seasons accessible for viewing.
Undoubtedly, this marks a significant departure from Martin’s well-known fantasy literature. However, Dark Winds is definitely worth considering if you’re in search of an enigmatic thriller to delve into. It has garnered acclaim for its captivating atmosphere and talented cast, solidifying its place as one of the most captivating new releases on Netflix this month.
The Guardian described it as a “complex and moody mystery that can still be easily consumed in one or two binge-watching sessions.”
In another review, TIME Magazine praised Dark Winds as a “gripping”and “gorgeously shot”show with superb performances, highlighting its importance.
According to The AV Club, the second season of Dark Winds is accompanied by a review that states: “The show’s enthralling central mystery is intertwined with a haunting aura, creating an immersive and emotionally impactful viewing experience.”
