Dark Winds is an American psychological thriller television series created by Graham Roland based on the Leaphorn & Chee novel series by Tony Hillerman. It premiered on AMC and AMC+ on June 12, 2022, with the first season consisting of six episodes.
In Gallup, New Mexico, robbers pilot a helicopter to rob an armored truck, killing two guards. The fleeing helicopter flies over the nearby Navajo reservation, where it is seen by an old man named Hosteen Tso. Three weeks later, Tso is found dead in a motel room along with Anna Atcitty, the granddaughter of a Medicine Woman he was visiting due to ailments since seeing the helicopter.
It was okay. Not great, but a nice binge.
I really enjoyed seeing Zahn McClannon. He played Matthias in the Longmire series, and also was in a season of Westworld.

Binging through Westworld.
I found season 2 disorienting (I suppose that was the goal) and really didn't play close attention to season 3 when I watched. So...
I binged through season 3 again.
Very complex, a lot of "who's really in there" stuff. I enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to binging through season 4, the penultimate season.
I'm in love with Thandie Newton, by the way.

You should google her. I think she was in the news lately for being a basket case.
I’m reserving judgment till I have more info though.

@Horace not seeing anything too weird.
I enjoyed her in "All The Old Knives" as well.
Are you confusing her with Evan Rachael Wood, who appears to be a certifiable whacko (like Amber Heard)?

Maybe. I also confuse her with Zoe Saldana.

I like Sneaky Pete, I think it has been years now since new episodes.
Netflix 2022 - Uncharted - Mark Wahlberg, a couple hours of some fun adventure/action
Netflix - Stranger Things - 4 Seasons series, kind of strange spooky other dimensional bad guys helping the Russians rule the world - bad guys foiled by a bunch of kids and a washed-up cop

Ran for 3 seasons.
Graham Yost was involved - wasn't he one of the forces behind "Justified?"
The first season of Sneaky Pete received positive reviews from critics. Rotten Tomatoes gave the first season a 97% 'Certified Fresh' rating, based on 31 critic reviews, with the critical consensus "Suspenseful, smart, and terrifically cast, Sneaky Pete is part dramedy, part crime caper, and all in all entertaining."[19] Metacritic gave the first season a 77 out of 100 score based on 22 critic reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
The second season of Sneaky Pete received positive critical reviews as well. Rotten Tomatoes gave the second season a 92% 'Fresh' rating, based on 12 critic reviews, with the critical consensus "Sneaky Pete's sophomore season replicates its predecessor's finesse with narrative sleight of hand and deliciously twisted capers, although Bryan Cranston's gravitas is sorely missed."
The third season of Sneaky Pete continued to receive positive critical reviews, with Rotten Tomatoes giving it 100% 'Fresh' rating, based on 5 critic reviews.

@Copper does "Sneaky Pete" actually end, or is it another "tune in next year?"

I just watched the last several minutes, I had already forgotten the story.
It wasn't a cliffhanger like Batman, it was a long goodbye with a walk off into the sunset. Like the story was over but a new storyline could happen.

Finished season 4 yesterday.
What. A. Ride.
There were a few plot holes (unless I missed some exposition in earlier episodes), but overall enjoyable.
It sets up a finale to the show (season 5), but if it's not renewed (falling ratings), the ending is satisfactory as it stands.
Should you decide to watch it, take heed: No one, NO ONE, is who you think they are. No time, NO TIME, is happening when you think it is. Totally non-linear.
This is NOT a popcorn show.

Watching a Netflix show imported from Turkey called "The Protector" - 4 seasons of a godawful show. it is about a man whose family background along with special tools such as an invincibility shirt allow him to fight the evil immortals who are striving for control of Istanbul. I hate just everything about this show - but the Mrs. wishes to watch to its 4 season conclusion. Not recommended.

On Amazon Prime, The Outlaws.
The story follows seven strangers from different walks of life who are forced together to complete a Community Payback sentence, set in Bristol. However, their luck changes – not necessarily for the better – when they discover a bag full of money, unaware that its true owners are very dangerous.
The only reason I started this is because it has Christopher Walken.
I managed to watch the 1st episode and decided, "Nope, not for me." It's light-hearted, and occasionally a bit funny. It's also a bit serious.
It's fluff, with no substance. Think of it as cotton candy - a sugar rush but not fulfilling or satisfying.
1 .5 stars.

On HULU: Under the Banner of Heaven
The faith of police detective Jeb Pyre is shaken when investigating the murder of a Latter-day Saint (LDS) mother and her baby daughter that seems to involve the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormon church).
Under the Banner of Heaven is an American true crime drama television miniseries created by Dustin Lance Black based on the nonfiction book of the same name by Jon Krakauer.
Very slow moving, and the story unfolds with flashbacks to the murder as well as to the founding of the LDS.
Exceptionally disturbing. It paints a very unflattering picture of the Mormons - highlighting all the stuff that many would call "weird." The overall theme is the conflict between church and state, and the protagonist begins to question his allegiances.

Samaritan Currently on Prime.
Stallone as an old superhero, trying to live out his life unnoticed. Mild plot twist at the end.
Barely popcorn worthy, watch only if bored

Someone mentioned this a while ago, iirc. Thanks for the heads-up. I'll pass.
