Nope.

It's on a network I've never heard of, and I don't know of any of the cast except for Lou Diamond Phillips and Katee Sackhoff.

You not watch The Glades? That's also on that network. I did watch a bit of the first episode of this but fell asleep.

I watched for Katie Sackoff but it was something to fall asleep to as Cimt did above.

What do you expect from a mid west modern day Sheriff show??? Laser fights and gruesome alien abductions :rolleyes: ?????????...

Personally I thought that it set up some of the characters up quite well, the story basis was good and I can see lots of storyline being created with some real development of those characters..

It got a thumbup from me, but then again I don't expect all modern day shows to be purely action based like most people do.. ;)

It's been one episode which wasn't even a feature length pilot... give it a chance :rolleyes:

Personally I found that the first episode set up the main characters extremely well..
  • Walt the estranged Sheriff who's only just getting his head back in the game after his wife died.
  • Vic the ex-big city homocide detective trying to adjust to the slower pace.
  • Cady the sheriffs daughter who might have a few secrets of her own.
  • Branch who's the egotistical deputy who thinks he can be sheriff better than anyone else.

Along with a few good supporting characters such as LDP's Henry Standing Bear it should be a good series for those who want to watch a mid west police drama.

It won't be for everyone but to say that it'll probably get cancelled after watching 45 minutes is a bit ridiculous

I actually did fall asleep, just not had time to finish watching it yet. I'll try and get it finished today.

Watched #3 of this and it's turned out to be quite good.. Walt's character is every bit as stubborn and mysterious as you'd expect (reminds me of Gibbs from NCIS)

Watching this now.
It ain't that bad, only ep2 for now & shows a lot of promise.

Re: Longmire
 
I might have to watch the other episodes then cause I've only seen the first.

I take it you've never watched Smallville as you'll recognise one character (Walt's daughter)

I"ll be honest, I have not watched the show, so will not judge it, but the website does make a point of the show being action packed.

I'll give it a go at some point though. While I like action shows, I also like shows that are not necessarily action packed, but give a good story for the viewer to get their teeth into.

So you keep repeating. :rolleyes:

Time to realise that some people actually expect a bit of action, not be bored to sleep.
