George R.R. Martin’s Western crime thriller is another critical hit.

The AMC series Dark Winds has maintained a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes as critics share their reviews of the upcoming fourth season. Based on Tony Hillerman’s Leaphorn & Chee novels, the show follows three Navajo Tribal Police officers working in the American Southwest during the 1970s. Season 4 of Dark Winds will begin airing on February 15, 2026.

The first reviews for Dark Winds season 4 are in, and the show has maintained its perfect streak on Rotten Tomatoes. With a 100% rating based on five reviews, every season of the series – which Martin executive produces – has received universal critical acclaim.

The third season of Dark Winds set up the next mystery for its main characters, and also hinted at some big changes coming for them. This means season four will explore new and developing storylines for Joe Leaphorn, Jim Chee, and Bernadette Manuelito as they tackle their next investigation.

Season four of Dark Winds is receiving positive reviews, with many critics saying it has the most compelling story arc of the series so far. The show’s characters are also being highlighted for their strong development, which greatly enhances the viewing experience. Reviewers particularly praised how seamlessly the show handled a temporary change in setting.

It’s no surprise this series continues to receive excellent reviews. Created by Graham Roland, the show is celebrated for its fresh take on crime dramas. Strong ratings on AMC and AMC+, plus growing popularity on Netflix after each season, have clearly contributed to its ongoing success.
