Longmire

Good show, but there sure was a lot of murder's for a small town. Per capa, that place is more dangerous than Chicago.

One of my customer's and his mom attend Longmire Days out in Wyoming every year when they had it in the author's hometown..the character Henry is based on hangs out and the cast get loaded and sing in the local bars...Well at first..I think Vic quit going when a drunken cowboy grabbed her buttocks...

The area is downright safe compared to Cabot Cove, Maine. If you remained alive in Cabot Cove long enough to escape, fleeing would have been a number one priority. Jessica Fletcher was the freakin' Angel o' Death.

It was a very good series, but the books are even better!

So if I read the books will I be aggravated. I usually go in the other order, fan of the books (JRR Tokien, Lee Child, etc), watch the movie and get aggravated. If I like the TV series how will I feel about the books?

I'd like to know this also. The books aren't cheap so if it's gonna peeve me off I'll save my money.

Try the local library. Personally I liked both. I’d say give them a shot.

Another series to consider is “The Ranch.” Sam Elliott and Ashton Kutcher (sp) are most well know main characters. Right wing Viet Nam vet rancher and two adult sons trying to deal with life and some dysfunction. Some sex (nothing graphic) and some bad language. Multiple twists and turns.

I think the biggest issue with show first, books second is that you have an image of the physical appearance of the characters that are common to both. If the text doesn't match well with the casting, it could be irritating.

Another similar book series are the Joe Picket novels by CJ Box. Man character is a Montana game warden.

The book characters only partially match up the TV characters in appearance and personality, there is no Barlow, Branch, or Jacob and Walt's wife passed from cancer. My sons explained that to me long ago saying that every TV episode has to tell a story and at least partially stand alone in less than an hour's time. In my opinion the books are better than the TV, but part of that is just my being brought up on books rather than TV.

At least we had books! Think about those among us whose youth predated written language.

Just finished watching all the episodes of the show Longmire. As someone who is trapped in the metropolitan "pee pee soaked heckhole" known as Indianapolis, I love seeing wide open Wyoming. I may have even looked up a job that might be a good fit for me in Cheyenne and daydreamed on it hard. Anywho... I really enjoyed the show, it always made me want to take apart and oil up the old Winchester 94 =D

Anyone else have a similar feeling or otherwise about the show? Discuss!

Hey, thanks for the heads up!

I have never heard of this show or series of books.

I looked it up and watched the first episode tonight. It looks like a good show. It's been a while since I've seen one.

Some good shots of some beautiful country....and yes, plenty of screen time for one of my favorite rifles!

Joe is a Wyoming game warden.

Longmire was one of my all time favorite series. I watched Yellowstone this summer and I'm now watching The Ranch on Netflix to get my mountains fix. We went to Winter Park, Co for a week in 2016. Man how I miss the mountains.
