Henry Rifle Forums

I was able to watch this series when it first came out . Then they hit a snag and NetFlix picked it up for the last few seasons. I just got finished the final episode and I found myself wanting more. It was a great series. Makes you want to move to Wyoming with your Henry and just ride the range. (Okay I was raised on the East Coast and have always wanted to experience the West)

Yup the wife and I enjoyed watching the series. Only downside was that it ended. Currently watching "Death In Paradise". It's a British detective series that takes place on Saint-Marie Island. Every week someone gets murdered on that Island and the detective and his police force of 3 solve the murder.

I also watch Death in Paradise. Good show. I will have to start watching Longmire. Been meaning too.

At one time there was talk of a Longmire movie. But I dont know how it ended up. I watched the entire series as did a very close friend of mine. I was sorry to see it end I as well really liked it.

I totally enjoyed the Longmire series for it's storytelling, slow disclosure, wonderful acting, and modern western theme. And, like many others, I wanted more of it after the season finale; though that final episode was a perfectly tied bow to wrap it up. Outstanding.

I liked it when it was on regular TV. Once it went on Netflix it might as well have been on the dark side of the moon as far as our budget was concerned.

I'm currently watching it on Netflix. I have loved it since I saw the first episode. I'm sorry to hear it ends, but all good things do.

The Longmire mystery novels are also well worth the read. I enjoyed them as much as Bernard Cornwell's Napoleonic War novels of Richard Sharpes.

I'll saddle a horse for ya....

I also watched and like the series,

Anyone ever watch Justified?
I thought it was a pretty good series also.

I hope that the dvd or blue ray final season is released soon so that we can buy it at Walmart or Target. Our Sony player machine plays dvds and blue ray copies.

My husband and I enjoy the series and even though we have donated many movies and series to our local library - this is a keeper series for us.

We do not have cable, dish, Netflix, etc.

I totally enjoyed Longmire and was thrilled that Netflix completed it, wrapping up every loose string in the final episode. It is an outstanding series.

Because of your recommendation, Bugs, I've also been watching Death in Paradise. Thanks for the tip. I'm well into the second season now, and enjoy the slow development of the characters and their relationships, especially between Richard and Camille. Each episode has a formula that doesn't vary and includes bits of humor, simple plot twists, and an ending that brings all of the suspects into the same room for Richard to reveal who is guilty. Fun.

CT you need to check this one out too...we just finished the 3 seasons. It is a hoot.

Thanks, Bugs. I put it on "My List"...
BTW, I just finished the shocking first episode of Death In Paradise, season three.

Having read the Longmire books, I initially had problems watching the TV series. The book series and the TV series are in different universes. Once I got past the differences I ended up liking the TV series too.

The railroad western 'Hell On Wheels' is really good too. https://www.netflix.com/title/7021088

For me the books are always better.

For me books are usually better too. Especially when the TV series does a poor job of trying to tell the book story. In Longmire TV, no attempt was made to go by the books, so Longmire TV turned out ok.

'Death in Paradise' is that the British series that plays cowboy western backdrop music?

If anyone has a liking for dry British humor, 'Doc Martin' series you might like.

As a big Western fan, I decided to give Longmire a try, especially after all the talk going on about it. This was about a year or two ago. I watched about 25 minutes of the first one, or one of the first ones, lost interest and changed the channel. I need to give it another try, if I can find it again. But just wondering, did everyone else out there like it right away? Like I didn't, lol.
