Reviews: After The Terror, watch this “shocking” Netflix crime drama with perfect Rotten Tomatoes score

Currently, the topic of conversation among Netflix users is predominantly focused on The Terror. However, what if there exists a highly-rated, “shocking”drama on Rotten Tomatoes that would be perfect to watch next? This is where Dark Winds comes in.

We understand… it may seem like there are no worthwhile options on Netflix other than The Terror. With its return to the streaming service, the harrowing tale of a doomed naval voyage has once again captured audiences with its brutal and unforgettable death scene.

Despite the new TV show being highly praised, it is not the only option for fans and many are already searching for their next viewing choice. A popular choice among some viewers is the neo-western Dark Winds, which has a remarkable 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

The show centers on two Navajo detectives as they investigate a double murder and simultaneously confront their own inner struggles in private.

On X/Twitter, one user commented that they were watching The Terror and Dark Winds on Netflix, with a second user adding that they were excited to see that seasons 1 and 2 of Dark Winds, one of their favorite American crime series based on Hillerman novels, was now available on the streaming platform. They believed it was a worthy adaptation in their opinion, and had been a fan since their teenage years.

“Despite the disappointment with the current Netflix top 10, I strongly believe that Dark Winds truly deserves its spot. The performances by Zahn McClarnon, Kiowa Gordon, and Jessica Matten are outstanding. I urge everyone to give it a chance and watch, as it is truly amazing,”a third person chimed in, adding.

Critics and fans alike are in agreement about the impressive quality of Dark Winds, with Jessica Matten and Zahn McClarnon in prominent roles.

Both Season 1 and 2 have received 100% Rotten Tomatoes scores, with Graeme Virtue from The Guardian describing the show as “a murder mystery that is irresistible to binge-watch.”

James Walton from The Spectator concurred with the sentiment that “It’s not uncommon for a TV series to claim to depict a world often overlooked by television. What’s truly exceptional is when, like in Dark Winds, this promise is impressively delivered.”

If you do become addicted to the binge-worthy TV show, there’s no need to worry. Season 3 is scheduled to air in 2025, giving you enough time to catch up before the new action begins.

The release date for Dark Winds Season 3 on Netflix remains a mystery, just like the plot. However, you can watch it on AMC+ before it becomes available on Netflix.

Both Dark Winds and The Terror are currently available for streaming. Additionally, there are new true crime and documentary options for you to dive into, as well as other TV shows that are being streamed this month.
