We like the show too. Reasonable plots for the area and good writing. The action scenes aren’t quite up to todays standards. I mean there is almost no believability in any real action. I’ll go on a bit. I know the show is not about action its about the character, the area and what goes on,,,,,,, so when an action scene comes along they kinda gloss over it to get on with the next scene.
And the wife thinks he’s kinda good looking. Oh, and he does a good job of erasing any accent.
The action scenes aren’t quite up to todays standards.True, but I like that. It's the little details that lend some believability and realism to me. Like any time Longmire has to run more than a few feet, he's panting like he ran a mile - showing his age or the altitude or whatever. I really like that there are no "superman" and they are just as mistake prone as anyone. At least until it gets to the inevitable "Here's where Walt does the wrap-up and solves the crime" speech.
They need to allow plots to span episodes so they won't have to make the big leap and "wrap-up" each episode.
