I really liked this show, especially getting a glimpse into Diné culture and life. And of course the setting is gorgeous, my favorite part of the world.

Starts off promising and interesting with a murder mystery, but later this is dropped completely and it becomes focused instead on another story (?) about corruption and some kind of not very well explained bank robbery. It meanders a lot, then on the final episode everything is wrapped up, but half of what is wrapped up never held your interest in the first place. It was like, "We gotta end this thing in the next episode," and it is all crammed in and not properly set up for the finale. Other have said, and they are right, the period feel is totally wrong, and the "day for night" shooting and other cheap effects are really badly done, especially in 2022. Reminded me of old TV shows from the 60s with similar unsophisticated shooting techniques. They did however in the ridiculously bright "night" scenes paste in a giant full moon in the sky to attempt to explain the very day-like night scenes. But, it didn't work. Mediocre story, unfocused, and gets worse and more convoluted as it goes on. Really this is a clunker, getting a pass for being about Native Americans, which it kind of is, but kind of isn't, since it does not portray them much beyond stereotypes or delve into political and cultural issues beyond the surface. Too bad, it could have been so much better.

Just wish it was more than 6 episodes.

I accidentally watched the last episode first and I'm so glad that I didn't waste any more of my life watching the other episodes. I really wanted to like this show, I'd heard great things about it, but again it's reviews are purely based on giving positive ratings to minority/diverse shows. If the cast of this show had been mainly white it would have been absolutely panned by critics, as it should have been. The acting was wooden, the show overall, seemed like it was very cheaply made. Sadly I can't find a single positive thing to say about it, other than only having to endure 1 episode.

The show is excellent. A great procedural with Native Americans at the forefront. Zach McClarnon is an excellent actor who really needs to be working a LOT more.

Very Good Acting. Unfortunately the acting couldn't carry this stinker. I don't know where to start. There's a lot. The production quality was less than mediocre. Poor quality digital effects such as numerous cheesy nighttime outdoor skies in scenes obviously done on a set. Tons of instances of things not being period correct. There were dialogue issues; like when the car salesman bragged about the 7.2 liter engine in an Olds 442; or the home decor (interior paint colors for instance) that was more 21st century than early ‘70's. The expectations regarding suspension of disbelief were a bit much as well. The story would have been better and a lot more plausible without the cliche native American paranormal hooey. I also found it funny that people working hard outdoors in the desert had spotlessly clean clothes. No dirt and dust. No enormous sweat and/or salt stains. The cars were also much too clean for having just been driven on dirt roads in the desert. The basic plot and story arc without the paranormal crap had potential. It's too bad about the sub-par writing and the lack of production quality.

Fantastic viewing. Really piqued my interest in Navajo culture.
-
This show is great. It was intense and I would've never expected all the turns it kept taking. The main cast was phenomenal. There are some cons. Some bad acting by anyone not in the main cast. The visual effects are terrible. Whenever they drive you can tell that it's a screen. That's crazy to me in this day and age. I bet future seasons will work out the kinks when they up the budget.
-
Great stories, talented actors, well profiled characters.
-
Despite the story being a rather procedural crime drama, this show works due to it's cultural clashes and differences, and it's stunning setting.
