It is well-constructed all around—confidently made, well-acted, and the writing is much smarter than many shows like it. It hums, each episode these three feeling more well-paced than the one before.
Started watching this show about a month ago, finished up this 4th season last night. Great acting, amazing story line, character development, everything about it is near flawless in my opinion. I'm sure everybody else is awaiting Vic & Walt to take it to the next level, and that finale has me anticipating Season 5 more so than the previous 3.
Best season by far! The characters and plots have much more depth. This season was explosive and rich. It has a spirit of its own that feels sexy and intriguing. Keep it going!!!
Sometimes, the series veers into the kind of curdled romanticism that otherwise terse westerns are prone to; this can happen with the noble-Indian subplots, and it surfaces in a case in the new season involving a Japanese-American internment camp. But we’re always pulled back in by the performance of Mr. Taylor, an Australian actor who absolutely aces the laconic American lawman.
Congratulations to NETFLIX for picking up this superb adult contemporary television series! Standing out from a forest of filth and nonsense in today's network offerings, Longmire offers serious plots and situations of high moral value, making it an oasis in the desert. It challenges viewers to think while enveloping them in the subtle twists and turns throughout each episode. Worth watching from the original trailer for the first season through each episode of the 3 subsequent seasons. One can only hope Netflix continues their commitment to this excellent show.
Thank you Netflix for rescuing one of the best programs on television! It will be interesting to see if Walt has a relationship with the VA worker and also what's in store for Henry Standing Bear as he slowly evolves into "Hector."
And for cancelling the show because the audience was "too old" : All I can say to A&E is screw you!
Good for Netflix acquiring Longmire.. When I think it couldn't get better; it did. This is an outstanding show that keeps you in your seat so you don't miss the action. I love the mystery and western aspect of this show. I have already watched Season 4 twice through after watching Seasons 1, 2 and 3 again for the third time. Netflix we must have a Season 5 , please!!!!!
The show has many attractive qualities. The characters are engaging, the stories have some edge to them, the West is well displayed. What it lacks is good writing. The dialog is weak, if not adolescent, the plot lines are littered with inconsistencies and irrational occurrences, and in short while the skeletal framework is attractive the skin and internal mechanism is deeply shallow. Netflix: keep the show. Hire some new writers.
Love that this is on Netflix now. Awesome show, great acting, great actors. Good crime drama and the cliffhangers leave you on the edge of seat waiting for the next season.
