"Longmire."  Netflix series.  It's like the Man With No Name movies meets Justified.  In other words, it kicks ass.

I actually found it first and got my wife into the series. Of course once I got to see Katee Sackhoff(from Battlestar Galactica) in those tight uniform shirts and jeans....I was hooked! lol

In reality though, Longmire was a pretty good series. We watched from the A&E days and trough the long years of waiting for the last seasons. The palpable tension between Vic and Walt kept the show going for the longest time. The finale with them finally getting it on was amazing.

Then, being a Lou Diamond Philips made the show really good as well. He made Henry Standing Bear a favorite on the show.

If you have the time and the inclination, read the books by Craig Johnson. IMHO...they are excellent. Sort of a Zane Gray meets Louis L'Amour meets the straight-laced detectives of the 50s. The Longmire show pretty much follows the written story, just not as much depth to the TV scripts. Craig John's books are Very Good reading.

Walt's notion of law and honor make for a great setup for a man searching for the story behind the death of his wife and his efforts to handle a gaggle of strange officers and equally strange events in Absoroka County.

Sorry, I'm quite a fan of the books and the Longmire series. I went hunting the books immediately after watching the show the first time. All are excellent and really fill in background for the show..

We've watched the series at least 4 times. lol And I'm on my second reading of Johnson's books. Yeah...I'm a fan.

Just watched Outpost.  True story of the attack on kamdesh.  Clint Eastwood’s son  was in it.  Awesome movie.  I had read many accounts of the story before but had not seen the movie til today.  It’s on Netflix.

I guess I'll give Outpost another shot. I couldn't get past the first 10 minutes. Very cheesy opening battle scene. Just seemed like a low budget film.

I initially felt the same way.
