A&E series "Longmire"
 

I don't get into TV dramas much anymore. Didn't see any of 'The Wire' or 'The Sopranos' but for some reason I checked this one out and it's pretty good. The lead actor, Robert Taylor (not the dead Robert Taylor ;)) is from Australia and must be an actor cuz I don't hear the Aussie in him, mate. Plays a sheriff in rural Wyoming.

Robert Taylor is the new sheriff in town in A&E's 'Longmire'

The wife and I haven't missed an episode. I'm hoping that the story between the sheriff and the reservation police comes fully to light before this season is over.

While I generally shy away from most things that Lou Diamond Phillips is in, his role in this series is pretty strong.

Now that you mention it, I seem to recall him in some cheesy stuff, lotta macho posing. Little bit of that here but it's a decent show all in all. This latest one about foster kids from the res is interesting. I gather that is a hot-button topic.

The episode about the Mennonite girl was genuinely moving. I don't get that on TV too often.

Some of it can be cheesy, like the shootout in the one that involved the barn fire. The guy rushing out with a plastic bag over his head was just a bit much. And then our man rushes to save him where seconds before there was a shooter watching that route. What, the gunman was on the toilet?

But oh well, one must suspend disbelief.
