Huh, I’m liking it, especially the local-culture-clueless but evidently smart and determined FBI agent who’s uncovering what happened to BJ Vines. And I like how that menace is manifesting for Leaphorn in hallucinatory flashes of apparently supernatural entities that he is normally a little more consciously skeptical about. I admit I’m a little fogged on the progress of the main plot about claw killer dude and how it all fits together, though. Maybe E2 is a bit lower-key (well, after that rather dramatic opening sequence, at least) to pause for a pacing reset and setting the stage. For example, Manuelito getting a shit busywork assignment to discipline her for being too nosy about a powerful local businessman makes sense, but by its very nature is slackening the dramatic tension for the moment. I expect shit to start hitting the fan sometime soon. (Liked the Robert Redford/George R.R. Martin producers’ cameo appearance in E1, but could not help feeling that an actual elderly bilagáana jailbird in a reservation jail cell would have worse-looking teeth than Redford’s pearly whites.) --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/series-youve-recently-watched-are-now-watching-or-have-given-up-on/946108)._
