Gareth v A gripping, atmospheric, and thematically rich third season that showcases the show’s strengths in both mystery and character drama. One of the best police shows on TV today. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/30/25 Full Review Victor R The last episode was infuriatingly god awful. They threw logic or good writing out the window. The rest of the show was good Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/22/25 Full Review Stacy B Terrible. Completely falls apart in the last episode. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/02/25 Full Review Jack W This show highlights what good writing can do. So often a show will have good actors and nice direction but so so dialogue. This show has all three. This and Slow Horses do their source material justice. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/19/25 Full Review Tony Z Although the critics are gaga over season three, I found it to be inferior to seasons one and two. It was disjointed and overloaded with minor characters, which took away from the (not entirely persuasive) collapse of the Leaphorns' marriage. Episode 6 was a self-indulgent failure, and a waste of the audience's time. I can't think of a single thing it contributed to the story or the characters. It did make me yawn. A bright spot was the fore-fronting of Bernadette Manuelito, whose plot line was far more interesting than the Cata murder mystery. That ring-leader Spencer escaped arrest seemed far-fetched. The Ernesto Cata mystery was mediocre enough before they ambushed us with the out-of-the-blue fraud motive for the archaeologist and, heaven help us, a chase on a train. (Raise your hand if you not seen that a dozen times before.) If you're going to expand to 8 episodes from 6, you better have something better than this dishwater to spill. Oh, and did I mention that the Jenna Elfman character looked like she doubled up on her valium? If that's a dedicated FBI agent on the trail of a case she finds especially important, killers are safer than we would like to believe. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/06/25 Full Review Paul o Absolutely shameful the way Robert Redford and co chose to exploit Native Americans by depicting life on their fictional Navajo reservation the way they chose to in this series completely ignoring the deplorable living conditions where today 48% of Native American households on any reservation throughout this country, including the Navajos, still don't have access to clean water while school buildings/infrastructure lays rotting in the background in a state of disrepair, living conditions too horrible for most Americans to even imagine.
