Dark Windshas always been - as the name incriminate - a fairly dark show . Dark Windsseason 1 saw Joe Leaphorn ( Zahn McClarnon ) , Bernadette Manuelito ( Jessica Matten ) , and the rest of thecast ofDark Windsdeal with bad medicament , witchcraft , and more . alike , theending ofDark Windsseason 2saw Leaphorn confront and wipe out BJ Vines , which was a low decimal point for the ordinarily heroic fiber . Of of course , as a police procedural , Dark Windsalso routinely conduct with gristly murder .

Dark Windsseason 3 , however , took the show ’s moody tone up a nick in a very interesting and unprecedented way of life . While the show has always dealt with serious topics and heartrending realness , Dark Windshas never been a rightful repugnance show , until now .

Dark Winds Season 3 Has Shown The Ye’iitsoh Monster (A First For The Show)

Dark Winds Has Never Actually Shown A Monster From Navajo Folklore Before The Ye’iitsoh

aright from the get - go , Dark Windsseason 3 break from the previous two season ' lead by showing a colossus from Navajo folklore . The Ye’iitsoh inDark Windsmay have just been a vision Leaphorn had , but either way , the show has depicted a figure in Diné culture . EvenDark Windsseason 1 , which feature a more direct focusing on bad music , only hinted at Ada Growing Thunder ’s ( Amelia Rico ) witchery , and it was n’t nearly as central of a focus as the Ye’iitsoh is . On top of that , Dark Windsseason 2 moved away from the darker office of Navajo folklore , so time of year 3 has really bucked expectation .

With George R.R. Martin appearing in Dark Winds season 3 , the show could n’t help but poke fun at his on-going Game of Thrones - related wait .

In fact , Dark Windshas actively avoided depicting the monsters of Navajo folklore on screen in the yesteryear . George R. Joe , the Navajo ethnic advisor forDark Winds , tell that the show ultimately make up one’s mind against depicting the shape - transfer Skinwalkers on - screen due to the taboo and questions of ethnic sensitivity surrounding them(viaLos Angeles Times ) . While the earlier adaptation of Tony Hillerman ’s novel -Skinwalkers , asterisk Wes Studi - did describe them , the show never has . Dark Windsseason 3 broke that tradition in the first minutes of its premiere , and it also distanced itself from the previous two season in a much broader way .

Clearly , Dark Windsseason 3 is taking a much darker approach to Tony Hillerman ’s novels than it ever did in the past . Leaphorn ’s possible action scene and visions of the Ye’iitsoh , coupled with the pith - pound and frightening uncovering of Ernesto Cata ’s body , indicate thatDark Windsseason 3 is receive closer to the repulsion genre than the show has ever get before . That moody timbre has worked very well - the premiere is already the highest - rated episode in the show ’s account ( viaIMDb ) . If the whole season is like the premiere , there may be many more scares in computer memory forDark Winds .
