This may be one of the most easily overlookable great TV shows I've had the good luck to notice. Longmire started in 2012 on A&E. A&E cancelled it after two seasons, but as Netflix has had a habit of doing with quality cancelled programs, they picked it up and made two more seasons (with a fifth season coming.) At its most basic level, Longmire is "just another police procedural crime drama." That's really where the similarities end. Set in rural Wyoming, featuring elected Sheriff Walt Longmire (played by Robert Taylor, almost unrecognizable from his more commonly seen role as Agent Jones in The Matrix), the Sheriff's department does not have a fancy crime lab, or very much oversight from elsewhere, but it does have to navigate the dangerous political waters of having a nearby Cheyenne native reservation. Also starring Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck in Battlestar Galactica reimagined), Cassidy Freeman (Tess Mercer in Smallville) and Lou Diamond Phillips. This show is really very well done, and addictive once you get started. It may be a police procedural set now, but at its heart it feels like a western, and it all fits together very nicely. All four seasons currently streamining on Netflix. |

I binged on this last fall. I really liked it as well. The main characters are really well done, and they manage to not be repetitive from episode to episode. |

I guess I missed the news that this was renewed for Season 5 (and apparently beyond - if Lou Diamond Phillips tweets are to be believed). Starts up again in Sept http://www.breathecast.com/articles/lon ... ays-34812/ |
