I just started watching it on Netflix. Seems like a great show with Walt Longmire's "cowboy code" style as a small town sheriff. I love the big panoramic scenes of the Wyoming landscape. I've been out west once and I'm dying to go back sometime. (I live in the Washington DC metropolitan area, which feels cramped in comparison)

I like how he carries a 1911, but the people who wrote the show must not know anything about how a 1911 is carried. When he draws the gun, he cocks the hammer with his thumb like it's an old Colt SA.

All in all, it's a good show, which is scratching my recent itch for some time in the Wild West.

Anyone else watch it?

Sig2340 is right. It's filmed in New Mexico. Still the west far as I'm concerned. it's a great show always with a twist.

Love it. Sad that the upcoming sixth season will be the last.

Is Longmire's house and property shot in that same area? I assume so, but I'm not really familiar with New Mexico.

My wife and I, likewise, watch and love the show.

Didn't know the upcoming season would be its last. That's a shame Frown

I guess it must not be all that popular. A&E gave it three seasons. Netflix is giving it three seasons.

Been watching the show since it first came out. Was really sad to hear that the upcoming season will be the last.

I really like the show as well. I was a bit disappointed with the last season though. If you like to read, check out the Longmire books by Craig Johnson. They are very good.

Wife and I are big fans. I'll second the book series. a little different than the show. Craig Johnson has a great sense of humor and Vic is alittle rowdier in the books!

Yes, in the caldera at Bandelier National Monument due west of Los Alamos.

Bandelier is an awesome place to visit. I go there whenever work takes me to Los Alamos.

I binge-watched the first 5 seasons!
A very good, entertaining show.

Season 5 started to get pretty stereotypical and soap-opera-like, but by that time I was invested enough in the characters to cut the writers a little slack.

If you liked Longmire, you might also like "Hell on Wheels", which is a historical drama of the making of the Transcontinental Railroads.

This is what brought me to watch the show and actually part of what me get on the Netflix train.

I've listened to several of the Audio.com booksy and love every one of them. I'm not as in love with the show (though I still enjoy it), partly because the writers/directors know nothing about guns. This weekend I watched an episode where Walt and another guy were standing somewhere when suddenly there was a "chack-chack" behind them (I despise this on TV anyway) and when they revealed the person standing there with the shotgun he had a double barrel shotgun, with the breach open no less. Roll Eyes

Also, Walt is a lot funnier in the books (dry humor).

The main character actor is Aussie. Does a decent American accent.

I'm up to Season 4, with "Unknown" netflix ship date for S5. Left off at: In the wake of an intruder interrupting Walt's romantic moment with Donna, he faces a confrontation. So no spoilers, or at least, a "Spoiler Alert" Wink

And to think, I considered buying Netflix stock in '04 or '05, when it was 1/100th of its current price ...

I watched the Longmire series from the beginning and I was not happy when TNT canceled it. When Netflix picked it up, the wife and I binge watched the whole series in a weekend. One of my favorite series. Also, Hell On Wheels is binge worthy also. Loved that one too.

I loved the first couple of seasons. After that, the story lines just copied off of the previous seasons. Absaroka County apparently is the murder capital of Wyoming. Each week, is usually another homicide to where-

Walt will completely disregard things and go his own way. (While believing that Jacob Nighthorse is somehow behind it)
Ferg will be torn because he wants to do a good job, but yet feels underappriciated.
Vic has a demon/secret/past that she battles with throughout the investigation.
Henry has yet again made a deal with the devil and yet again has one foot in prison.

Don't get me wrong, I liked it overall, but it kinda reminds me of how Burn Notice played the same plot lines over and over and over again. For the first couple of seasons, it is tolerable.

As to the 1911 Walt carries, you'd actually be surprised at the number of people that actually carry the gun that way. They tell me that is "safer" than carrying it with the hammer back (somehow). Three quarter of the people I run into at work that have a 1911 carry it with the hammer down on a round.
