Emma&#8217;s husband, Sheriff Joe Leaphorn (McClarnon) arrives to check on his wife.\u00a0 Once assured her injuries are minor, Leaphorn checks out the scene of the explosion and quickly finds evidence of a car bomb.\u00a0 Why would anyone want to kill someone with little time to live?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jim Chee (Gordon), no longer on the force, is now a private investigator.\u00a0 Chee is hired by Rosemary Vines (Jeri Ryan).\u00a0 Rosemary is the wife of B.J. Vines (John Diehl), the richest man in the state.\u00a0 Rosemary wants Chee to recover a box stolen from her husband.\u00a0 She refuses to say what is in the box.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When Chee visits Leaphorn to get background information, Chee learns that Vines owns the property where six men were killed in a mining explosion.\u00a0 One of those men was Leaphorn&#8217;s son.\u00a0 Leaphorn and Chee drive out to the remote desert property.\u00a0 They are attacked by Cotton Wolf (Logan).\u00a0 Chee is shot and badly wounded.\u00a0 Leaphorn returns fire, but Wolf escapes.\u00a0 They discover that Wolf was burning the contents of the box that Chee was hired to find.\u00a0 One of the items in the box was Leaphorn&#8217;s son&#8217;s belt buckle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Leaphorn and Chee find themselves the target of a psycho-killer who murders without hesitation.\u00a0 They have also ignited the ire of B.J. Vines who is hiding more than one dark secret.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thoughts\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Dark Winds: Season 1<\/em> provided an excellent mystery from a perspective not often seen in television\/film. There was a feeling of respect and authenticity to Navajos due to the writers being Native American.\u00a0 I was happy to see this continue in Season 2.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I&#8217;ve been an A. Martinez fan since I first saw him in John Wayne&#8217;s <em>The Cowboys<\/em>.\u00a0 Loved seeing him here.\u00a0 Jerri Ryan is excellent as Rosemary Vines.\u00a0 She reminded me of a fem fatale from the 40s.\u00a0 Perfect.\u00a0 Nicholas Logan was spot on creepy as the killer Cotton Wolf.\u00a0 Logan was scary even in his quiet moments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Zahn McClarnon, Kiowa Gordon, Jessica Matten and Deanna Allison have real chemistry.\u00a0 I look forward to Season 3.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/stallonezone.com\/zone\/logo\/zview_a.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"100\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/stallonezone.com\/zone\/2023\/z091323zview_darkwinds_s2b.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dark Winds Season 2\u00a0(2023) Director:\u00a0 Chris Eyre (Eps 1, 2, 6), Michael Nankin (Eps 3, 4),\u00a0Billy Luther\u00a0(Ep. 5) Teleplay by:\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":912,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,51,50,74],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33774","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-celebs","category-crime","category-tv","category-z-view"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=33774"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33774\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33775,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33774\/revisions\/33775"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=33774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=33774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=33774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
