I recently watched "The Lowdown" on Hulu, which stars Ethan Hawke and Kyle MacLachlan. I enjoyed it. Hawke's character is based on a real life writer/"Truthstorian" in Tulsa, Oklahoma who specialized in expose reporting. It's a little bit slow in developing over the first few episodes, but gets more interesting as it goes along. I would give it a B+.
I am now watching the recently released season 3 of Dark Winds on Netflix. It's equally as good as the prior seasons but is a bit darker and has significant "horror" film elements, particularly climaxing in episode 6. The season explores more deeply the Native American cultural connection to monsters and the supernatural, but this becomes somewhat of a metaphor for the monsters that exist within some of us.
On a sad note, legendary actor Robert Redford, who recently passed away and was involved in the production of the series, had his very last acting credit in episode 1. He is a prisoner in lockup at the NTP and is playing chess with another prisoner when Leaphorn annoyingly tells Redford's opponent what his next move should be. Redford looks very old, but healthy in the scene.
