Don't be fooled by some of the images you may have seen of the recently dropped second season of AMC psychological drama Dark Winds, which is now available to stream on Netflix. It's set in what could easily pass as a traditional Western atmosphere, but it's a show you can enjoy even if you're not necessarily a fan of the genre itself. Based on Tony Hillerman's Leaphorn & Chee series of novels created by Graham Roland, Dark Winds goes against type in almost every way and provides a terrific whodunit element, a bank heist, black magic, and an ideally used MacGuffin worthy of a nod from Alfred Hitchcock himself.
