As Dark Winds continues to find new success on Netflix, the AMC original series may be robbing viewers of the most compelling character dynamic established in the Leaphorn & Chee novel series by Tony Hillerman. Indeed, fans of the books have noticed how Jim Chee’s character has been altered, stripping away his spirituality and fascination with his Navajo heritage. The character change has become so apparent that some fans have suggested checking out the 1991 movie adaptation, The Dark Wind, for a more accurate depiction of Jim Chee.
