The series is based on the Leaphorn & Chee book series by Tony Hillerman.

2. 3 Body Problem

Science fiction fans will love 3 Body Problem from showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, based on Liu Cixin’s books. “As books, they work enormously well, and we were excited by the challenge of making a show that makes you feel the way that we felt when we read them,” Weiss told Netflix Queue. “It isn’t exactly the same as just translating the books chapter and verse because we don’t think that would make you feel the way we felt reading the books.”

3. A Man in Full

Jeff Daniels is magnetic in this show about an Atlanta real estate tycoon fighting to protect his crumbling empire. [David Kelley] manages to explore the rich and famous and the legal and prison systems in ways that echo everything from the #MeToo movement and racially motivated police brutality to the behavior of certain modern political figures," says David Bianculli for NPR.

4. American Nightmare

Fans of true crime will love this show about a couple accused of staging a kidnapping and home invasion. “A swift, concise piece of work that even mixes in a dash of investigative reporting verve. In short, it’s worth the hype,” says Chris Vognar for Rolling Stone.
