Recently watched the two seasons of Dark Winds (AMC). This was apparently put together by Robert Redford and GRRMartin.
Set in 1971 on a remote outpost of the Navajo Nation near Monument Valley, Dark Winds follows Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn of the Tribal Police as he is besieged by a series of seemingly unrelated crimes.
I wanted to like it (big fan of Zahn McClarnon)--and I did enjoy parts of it. But it was a fairly mixed bag of all kinds of stuff that didn't really gel. Some supernatural stuff in the first season, but absolutely none in the second. Seems like it was set in the 70s mainly because they didn't want people to be able cell-phone/internet their way out of trouble. But other than those amenities, everything (with the exception of a leisure suit or 2) just felt too modern for the time period they were supposed to be trying to capture.
Just odd.
