Longmire

My father would have been addicted to this show. And because of that I sort of became addicted to it...and then because I came from a small town. it is the show your dad likes. Like Walker Texas Ranger... only sometimes dad's shows aren't bad.

Not as small and certainly not as west...but small enough where you have to move away to college to realize that Sheriff was an elected position...along with a number of other positions that no one bothered to oppose the incumbent for decades on end.

So it has that small town appeal to it, and it has that murder mystery appeal to it, and it has Cowboys and Indians--Native Americans--but the theme is still really old school Cowboys and Indians.

Its a throw back to old westerns and it pays off. It has a lasting appeal that comes with most westerns, no matter when they are set.

The old Sheriff that lives by a code The wise Native American The evil barons

All the check marks are hit and, the pay off at the end...well...the end, the final episode, might have been drawn out a little, but its still worth watching the show from start to finish.
