So today was a pretty exciting day when the mail came. (The unboxing vid is upside down...total SNAFU...but you get the idea.)
Walt Longmire is the sheriff of the fictional Absaroka County in Wyoming. Each book in the mystery series is told through the eyes of Sheriff Longmire, in a relaxed first person point of view.
Johnson manages to create indelible characters and clever mysteries with his tone and style -- which combines brooding, high plains melancholia with ample doses of small town humor, and witty dialogue to boot.
I've been to two book signings with Craig Johnson at The Bookworm here in Omaha. In addition to his writing talents, he is an entertaining speaker.
Start with the first book in the series titled "The Cold Dish." While each novel stands on its own, there are story arcs and subplots that build from book-to-book, and it creates a richer experience when you savor them in order.
The "Longmire" TV series (produced by Warner Horizon) is one of my favorite shows, and is partly responsible for my decision to drop my cable TV subscription.
Season 5 drops Sept. 23 on Netflix. Here is the trailer:
During the show's first three seasons, "Longmire" (which aired on A&E) was my favorite program on basic cable.
Unfortunately, the show was unceremoniously canceled by A&E after the third season. The move left an unresolved cliffhanger in the story line, and left fans wondering what they'd do without new episodes of the beautifully drawn show.
Thankfully, Netflix came to the rescue and lassoed up the show for a fourth season. The streaming giant owns the rights to each season of "Longmire," and the series is a popular selection for millions of subscribers.
There's no question that the efforts of producers and passionate fans resurrected Walt and Co. for a continued run.
I didn't have Netflix prior to 2014, but I subscribed when the news was released announcing a new season of "Longmire."
In addition to the show's availability on Netflix, Warner Bros. has released each season of "Longmire" on DVD. The studio's Warner Archive division (which focuses hard-to-find WB movies and TV shows on DVD and Blu-Ray) releases terrific Blu-Ray sets of the show.
I highly recommend both the "Longmire" TV series and the book series by Craig Johnson. Check 'em out!
