Thank You Netflix for Bringing Back Longmire

I thought it was gone, but Netflix had the good sense to bring back Longmire for another season. A&E had a great show on its hands and it tossed it overboard to find a younger audience. Well, I haven't seen anything this good on A&E since.

Executive producer John Coveny is very happy with the show's new home at Netflix, noting in an interview with the Los Angeles Times:

It was a great feeling to be like at the terminal and they say, “Um, your flight's canceled and you’re never going to get another one.” And then the guy on the next shift comes up and says, “By the way, we found another flight. It’s a private jet, all first-class seats.” Greer has been doing this slightly longer than us. We had a former life and a world to get out of, which was advertising. But to have a show come out of cancellation is one thing. But to have an upgrade to Netflix is an entirely other beast, and it’s utterly fantastic.

You may recall the last season ended last summer with a gunshot and unknown victim. Well, you can watch new 10-episode fourth season on Netflix starting tomorrow and learn what happened.  I expect to stretch out my viewing of sheriff Walt Longmire and friends over a series of weeks rather than one weekend sitting. The show is too good to rush. And now I am hearing that Netflix is planning a fifth season. It keeps getting better.
