Yeah, we’ve had Netflix forever, back when the only thing we really used it for was 2-3 DVDs in the mail each month. They were REALLY good at that - just about anything that was out, you could get literally overnight. Then we went streaming only, and it feels like 90% of the time we look for a movie, even classic oldies, we get the message that “That is not available for streaming.”
So the ladyface and I officially have a show we both love, and it’s Longmire. Just recently started and totally hooked. LOVE that Netflix is picking this up.
Given my places of residence, I also wish they could film it in WY. Having some stuff filmed in the Bighorn Basin and also on the eastern side of the Bighorns would just rock my socks off.
Things definitely go nuts by episode 3. Up through episode 4 now and I’m not sure I like where the Henry subplot is going, but I’ll go with it for now.
The season definitely has a slightly different feel to it. The differences from the show is a bit more use of language and occasional nudity, maybe a bit more graphic violence, and each episode is definitely longer, though the season is shorter (10 episodes, about 55-65 minutes each). The creators mentioned that they had other differences in making the show, like filming in 4k and getting used to an all new sound mix.
Just finished the 10th (final) episode. Man, what a great season! So many interesting developments, twists and turns, and crazy realizations. I can’t wait for next season!
We’ve watched through episode 4 so far and man is it way crazier than when it was an AMC show. I miss Branch A LOT (I guess the actor wanted off the show?), and while I’m still enjoying the show it seems somehow a little emptier without such a pivotal character. I’m excited to see where it goes though, and if Walt will eventually take on another deputy (my guess is Henry will fill the role…).
Through episode seven so far. Loving it! The extra 50% time-wise has really allowed them to flesh it out quite a bit too, Longmire is greatest in its quiet moments.
