Looks half decent. Mind you if it's up against FS it should do well. By the sounds of FS S2, a live view of a guy painting a room would get better ratings

Kicks off TOMORROW night on A&E: http://www.goerie.com/article/20120602/ENTERTAINMENT04/306029983/Crime-drama-%27Longmire%27-shows-promise

falling skies will crush this, even before watching it i know this, falling skies averaged over 4 million viewers an episode for season 1, and i cant foresee a fall off, just like the walking dead it oddly pull in hugh numbers,

will give this a go later, could be a good show,

Mr E

Quite liked this... it's pretty low key, but there are some elements of humour in it, and Walt Longmire is a good character. I think he's what Raylan Givens might be like in 20 years.

Worth a look.

Big ratings for the pilot, lets see if it slips from here: http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2012/06/04/aes-longmire-debuts-as-the-networks-1-original-series-premiere-of-all-time-with-4-1-million-viewers-the-glades/136763/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Tvbythenumbers+%28TVbytheNumbers%29

this is pretty good, bit much of a&e to be calling it the hit of the summer after 2 eps though.

It's OK. Not bad but it's not quite grabbing me 100% either. I'll stick with it though.

who has tcm?

this was really good show worth watching, gentle but good.

At home atm and saw a few episodes of the show saved on the Sky box and decided to give them a go as it's one of those shows I've kept meaning to watch but never got around to. Glad that I finally did as it's one of the better procedural on atm. It's very much Justified lite and Longmire is exactly how I see Raylan Givens 25 years from now.

I've said it about a number of other shows on atm but I've grown tired of shows that revel in sex and violence, mistaking grotesque acts as adult. Longmire is rather laid back and light on the violence and all the better for it. It's nice, easy to watch fare that covers some quite adult issues and plots without ever having to rely on blood letting. Shows such as Criminal Minds could learn a lot from Longmire, I'm only 4 episodes in yet I'm far more invested and interested in the lives of the characters than I've ever been in those of the Criminal Minds characters.

Hard to believe that Longmire himself, Robert Taylor used to be Father Vincent Sheahan in Ballykiss Angel. Even harder to believe is just how down right sexy Katee Sachoff is, I've always liked her and found her attractive but never so much as here. Guess playing pretty works for her.

Just after watching episodes 5 and 6 and I'd go so far as to call episode 5 one of the finest pieces of television from the past year or two. Really just great stuff with a truly stunning final few minutes.

Season 2 Monday May 27th

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj9uuDLOLYk

Finished up the series earlier this week and absolutely loved it. There's nothing strikingly original here and you can see how the relationships will develop but the mystery of the week is always interesting and the on going story is interesting and hints at a darkness that most other procedural would love to have. Really looking forward to season 2.

Read the first of the novels again and it's a must for anyone who enjoys the show. It covers the same ground as the series one finale but is quite different and a lot of fun.

Here's Longmier himself in his most famous role.

Just came across this show and must say I really enjoyed it. Nothing original about it really. But it has something about that pulled me in. What I must say is the setting of Wyoming is stunning!

First series is now on Netflix US in glorious HD. Worth a watch for the scenery alone.

Dunno why it wasn't noted/bumped.....but the season 2 opener is already out.

Most likely because most of us don't feel the need to post every time that a new episode is released. If you'd waited a bit longer you'd have seen the thread bumped once I've watched the new episode over lunch.

I only bump when its a season premiere or finale...unless i watch the show every week.

I've seen you bump shows because episode 3 it 18 is out. There's no need to bump any thread as those that like the show will be aware that its on and those that don't watch the show will not be convinced to do so because you post "new episode out there on the wilds". There's no need to ever post that an episode has aired, especially if you do not watch the show. It comes across as you simply posting for the sake of adding to your post count.

Yeah, when it's a webrip....or an advanced copy or something, not a regular scheduled episode, unless as i said i watch the show. I bump culty shows on little known channels like Sundance etc.

You're being rather obtuse today Darko

The point is Richard that there's no need for it. While shows such as Rectify may not be the hit they deserve most of us are aware if the show and do not require a weekly reminder. If you watched Longmire then you would be more than welcome to bump this thread every week with your thoughts on the episode. As you don't it just comes across as you adding to your post count

You can't really think this? - i'm a tvaholic and news hound. Adding to post count gets me nothing, unless Boards wants to pay me a Euro per posting

Well for those of us who did watch the Seasion 2 premiere, what did ye all think of it? I quite liked it. There was something last year stopping me from completely warming to the show but I think it's come back much stronger. I'm certainly looking forward to the next installment after this weeks episode. It's great how he's such a hardass sherriff!

good ep this week
the revelation that

henry murdered longmires wifes killer

wasn't terribly surprising. you just knew there was something non-standard coming but it's still a nice enough twist.
since the show isn't called "connoly" we can be pretty damn sure that branch isn't going to win the election but I wonder if sneakily-facial-haired indian man is going to use the donations over his head in seasons to come, branch has already bent once giving up the girl to the timber company, although i'm not sure how he knew where she was.

expectationlost

was henry doing his wife?

Eh? How do you arrive at that conclusion?

The implication last year was that Walt had killed the man who killed his wife. However now it appears that Walt didn't do it (but wanted to) and he thinks Henry did it.

why would a man kill somebody who killed a women... because he loved her?


(or becos longmire tried to do it was injured serverly and henry finished the job)

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

yeah, i was also thinking that henry was either sleeping with the wife.. or wanted to sleep with longmire

it's not the kind of thing you do for "just a friend"

Longmire and Henry are more than friends, they're more like brothers and Henry has repeatedly risked his life to look out for Walt. In the novels Henry's past is far more defined, he served with Walt in Vietnam but while Walt worked as army police Henry was involved in some of the bloodiest battles of the war. He's a trained killer who would lay down his own life for Walt, Cary or Walt 's wife.

Damn it, gona have to read another set of books now.

This could end like song of fire and ice, with me lost in books for a whole summer.

They're well worth it. Nothing strikingly original but the plots are interesting, the characters likeable and there's a bit of mystery to them. They also deal with Indian mythology and its not uncommon for Walt to see ancient warriors following him.

So exactly like the TV show then! Perfect sunday night viewing and summer reading.

Just started watching Longmire after Netflix recommended it,much prefer it over Justified.

Episodes are weaved together very well,and the show covers a lot of dark issues without having to resort to gratuitous sex or violence in order to get it's point across.

Reminds me of Due South in a lot of ways,especially in it's dry humour.

expectationlost

the might a bit of trouble getting a conviction with a confession gotten by tying a man to a horse

DeepBlue

2.10
Very strong episode with lots of great parts to it.
Who'd have thought the election result would be such an anti-climax after the bulk of 2 seasons - and that it wouldn't be a problem?

Ferg being quite the dancer, Walt finally getting some, Vic adroitly resolving jurisdiction issues.

My favourite bit was when the ICU machine started beeping ominously and the nurse just casually strolls in and pushes a button. :pac:

The show does the father-daughter relationship very well imo and the efforts it makes to keep things credible means it doesn't lose the audience when it does the Indian rituals.

It seems Branch suspects something along those lines. Guess we're gonna find out next week.

Just watched the last two episodes thinking that that they were the last of the season and pretty much punched the air when I heard Lucian talking over a sneak previews of next weeks double bill season finale. Cannot bloody wait, this season has been absolutely brilliant with some really great episodes and a real sense of tension to it all. The election episode was very well done and the manner in which they built up to it throughout the season only for it to be forgotten was a masterstroke. It put the whole season and Walt's inner demons in perspective and it's going to be interesting to see where the show goes from here.

Season 2 finale last night....no word on a third yet.
