TIL about a new Leaphorn & Chee TV series

[firecat]

How is it I only just now found out that AMC has adapted Tony Hillerman's Leaphorn and Chee books (2 seasons so far, renewed for a third)?

The first season is also on Max.

Someone I trust (you know who you are) says it's really good. *squee*!

I didn't know it was on Max!! I actually have that streaming service!

I actually have that streaming service!

Isn’t that an amazing feeling!

SERIOUSLY, usually it's like "Hulu, no, Apple TV, don't have that, Paramount, nope, AMC, no, Showtime, are you kidding me...." We actually got sucked back into Netflix because I wanted to support Sandman. I was nearly free of at least one of them!

LOL I'm stuck with Netflix as long as they have Lucifer. I bought DVD sets of Ironside and The Mod Squad because no streaming services had them! And I was about to get one of Columbo, but now Tubi has it.

Ohhh - but also argh! Not available in the UK - hopefully it will be, though! Thank you for making me aware that it exists!

No fair!

I liked it a lot. The atmosphere, the scenery, the general air, mood, and flavor of the books, particularly the first few books, seemed very right to me. The casting is really good. I don't approve of all their narrative choices, but I never do when a book is being adapted to another medium.

P.s.

High praise, I’m looking forward to it even more now!

Yes! And it's not terrible (at least, not the few episodes I've seen).

[firecat]

Yay!

I hope you like it!
