TV Miniseries Review: ‘Dark Winds’: Chee and Leaphorn Team Up Once Again

Updated:

PG-13 | 6 episodes | DramaMystery, Thriller | June 12 2022 (USA)

Originally, Tony Hillerman’s “Joe Leaphorn” and “Jim Chee” books were separate series, but when he brought the two cops together, his sales really started to take off. Not surprisingly, every dramatic adaptation of his books has featured Leaphorn and Chee as a team.

These films have also all been produced by Robert Redford, starting with the one in 1991 directed by Errol Morris. Famous New Mexico resident George R.R. Martin also signed on as a producer of the newest Leaphorn and Chee series, set back in the 1970s, when Hillerman first started writing his award-winning mysteries.
