Wind River knows its limits and its comfortable in its own circle, it doesn't try to push any boundaries in the genre, it's just a simple neat and tidy neo western crime mystery. It doesn't have anything that makes it stand out in particular or any flare but it's very good at was it does, and may I say pacing is amazing.
My issue with this is it feels like the sort of thing you'd see as an episode on something like Castle or Bones or another high quality crime show. It's limitations ultimately don't make it unique or standout in anyway, it just feels like any other crime mystery. Enjoyable for what it is though
