Longmire: O Xerife

I actually enjoyed Longmire a lot more than I thought I would. I'm so glad Netflix picked this up after it cancelled. It was originally cancelled after season 3 and then Netflix picked it up. It didn't drop in quality at all either. If anything it got better on Netflix because they had a bigger budget to work with. I never watched it when it originally on but was looking for a new show to watch recently and Longmire was that show. It took an episode or two to get going but after that I was hooked. Once I started watching I couldn't stop, I binged all six seasons in just a couple weeks. The acting and writing is so good that it just pulls you in and you start to actually care about these characters. It's a classic modern western so if you're into that kind of genre then give this show a chance. I promise you won't be disappointed.

I'll admit I only gave this show a chance because it premiered at a time when a lot of shows are on break. I'm glad that I did because this might just turn out to be the next great law show (Justified being the most recent). Have to wait and see how the season turns out.

After watching the first episode, you can immediately tell the producers and writers are keen on character development. With the only about half the episode devoted to the first case itself, you'll learn a lot about Sheriff Longmire quickly. That's not to say you won't enjoy it though. This show is VERY watchable. I actually went back and watched it again the next day. A&E hasn't produced a lot of shows I've enjoyed but I'm looking forward to the episode.

Set in Wyoming, viewers can expect to see beautiful scenery and the pilot certainly did not disappoint in that sense. Native Americans play a major roll in this show and it seems the hostilities will progress throughout the season. The show focuses on old school methods of law enforcement rather than the recent trend of C.S.I. semen under the fridge kinds that have been dominating in recent years.

Give this the show a chance.

I have been a fan since the beginning of Longmire. When I heard it had been cancelled I just couldn't believe a show with this class could be dumped. There was never a moment when Longmire was disappointing. The whole cast was always in top form, building with each episode characters with edges that were always clear but bendable, making them interesting and surprising. Scripts that kept you thinking. Then after 3 great seasons cancelled. The news that Netflix had picked up for season 4 made me hope.

Well, thank you Netflix. Season 4 is here. I have watched them all, loved them all, they made me sad, made me smile, and most of all they made me hope that there will at least be a season 5.

Ps. Watched the final episode today. I was, I admit it, in tears for the happy ending(s) and for the fact that such a great TV show was allowed to come to an actual end. All seasons have been exceptional and I will be recommending this show even in years to come because it will never get out-dated. Thanks to everyone who made this so great.

I really enjoyed the show. It reminded me of a Louis L'Amour novel. I haven't read the books this show is based on, but I plan to soon. I appreciated the pace, and overall feel of it. I felt completely absorbed in the realness of the characters, and really felt like I was in Wyoming. No glitzy computerized special effects, and no unrealistically fast crime scene analysis. I am looking forward to "getting to know" the characters. I loved the little town square, the Wranglers, and the scenery is breathtaking. I also enjoyed the music. Very happy the show includes one of my favorite actresses, Katee Sackhoff.

I'm so glad that I finally gave Longmire a chance. I've heard nothing but great things about it for years but for some reason I still put off watching it. Once the pandemic started and I had a lot more free time I thought I'd finally give it a chance and I couldn't be happier that I did because I really dig it. It has good plots and well written characters. The shows continues to grow and get better as the seasons go on and it finds what kings of show it wants to be. I originally thought it was just another police procedural like the thousand other ones available but this one is easily one of the better ones. If you haven't watched this series yet do yourself a favor and go watch it!
