Longmire often turns to close friend and confidant Henry Standing Bear for supporthe sets out to rebuild both his personal and professional life, one step at a time. i watch a lot of old westerns and western TV reruns. Longmire reminds me of the Marshal Dillion TV show. Excellent! My favorite episode so far, The Dog Soldier. Am sitting here with Marshall Dillon on at present. He tall, a gentleman and will kick your ass when necessary. They are one and the same. Hope it doesn&#39;t go the way of the good TV shows and TV has the intelligence to order more seasons. There&#39;s already too much that isn&#39;t watchable these days. As a N. American i like the fact that the series shows the difficulities N. American STILL face. With all the stupid reality TV shows this one with is simply reality stands out. And thats a good thing. As my mothers people would say Nuwedi! (Thank you) I watched this show from the beginning, and so far it was great (seasons 1-3). But not because there was more action than anywhere else or more mystery or something like that. No it was different, Longmire is a character driven story, that relies on the interpersonal connections and conflicts, while offering an at least decent story which was always framed by a bigger one (The murder of Sheriff Longmires wife and so on). Added to that the scenery is simply stunningly beautiful. It makes you feel like you are in the wide open with nothing but nature around you. AMAZING! Now I want to get to the 4th season.<br/><br/>After the end of season 3 I was so thrilled and couldn&#39;t wait for season 4 to be released. But then it was canceled and I almost died of a heart attack. But then Netflix picked it up - luckily! With this there is a change in the pacing of this series which parallels the story. While the Casino is finally built and opens and therefore brings a lot of people to the former quiet rural area, it brings the present to this little town where everything used to be a little bit slower and living in the past (in the best possible way). The same thing happens to the pacing: It often gets faster, looks more modern. Now, I don&#39;t mean to say, that I didn&#39;t like the &quot;old&quot; Longmire, but the &quot;new&quot; achieves what rarely can be achieved. It is the same series with all the charm it had but is brought up to &quot;modernity&quot; at the right places - simply put, I like it a lot! I think the new characters are a very good addition to the cast, although I didn&#39;t enjoy the &quot;casting show&quot; of the new deputy very much. The &quot;old&quot; characters and their relations are evolving in a good way, not too foreseeable but nothing too fancy - just the right balance. As for the story: it is simply great. It&#39;s isn&#39;t the good old &quot;one episode, one case&quot; format but rather a series of more or less related crimes - also new but really enjoyable. The ending: Absolutely perfect. the whole last episode is a piece of art! It just brings everything so perfectly together - no old loose ends, nothing too kitschy or fancy, just the right amount of satisfaction. Plus, while there are three major cliffhangers (one concerning Henry, two concerning Walt), it feels much more satisfying than the finale of season three. Although I cannot wait for season 5, I don&#39;t feel like they cheated me into wanting to watch the next season.<br/><br/>Overall, marvelous job, special thanks go out to Netflix for saving this gem! Worth a watch!
