Longmire Season 4
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
All in all, I enjoyed watching the episodes although not as much as I enjoyed the A&E episodes. The main characters return except for one and I’m sure that by now everyone knows who didn’t come back.
The female characters, Vic and Cadie, seem much more emotional and weaker. I was expecting strong female characters since that’s how Craig Johnson has written them, but for a few episodes in the middle of the season the women couldn’t seem to do anything without falling apart and needing a man to tell them what to do next. And the Henry Standing Bear character has become the stereotypical American Indian character who needs a white man to help him out of the jams he impulsively gets into. The heroic white man who helps everyone is of course Walt Longmire. Nothing wrong with Walt being the heroic cowboy sheriff except that it makes the series less enjoyable for me when the supporting characters are weak.
I’m not criticizing the actors since they get a script, learn their lines, rehearse and act. They can only work with what the storyline and script give them. Look, Vic is hot. There’s no reason for her character to act so needy about having a man in her life.
I’d rather see some bad guys get get chased down and caught. There is some of that in this season, but the format seems to require continuing lengthy sagas that may or may not be criminal. I don’t want to see Longmire the series turn into a killer of the week like CSI did and many cop shows on broadcast TV still are. But isn’t there a happy medium between killer of the week and soap opera? The series seems to aim for it but hasn’t quite hit the bullseye yet.

This was the first season that Longmier was not on AMC and was over on Net Flex so I couldn’t view it in real time. I was so delighted to see CD’s made since I have the CD’s for Seasons 1,2,3. This season was extremely good with lots of action and interchange between people. Quwastions were answered but others were brought up. Branch died, Walt got a little revenge for his wife’s death without breaking the law to do so. Henry lost ownership of the Red Pony through his own stupid promise which he was dumb enough to keep even though he didn’t actually get the answers he wanted. The best of friends for 30 plus years Walt Longmier and Henry Standing Bear had a falling out which made it even more interesting. Up until now they have worked together with no problems, except for Henry’s dry sense of humor which in itself makes the show, but seeing them at odds with each other was even more interesting. At the end of this season’s CD’s I couldn’t wait for the 5th season’s to come out and the second I saw them on Amazon I orderedt. This is a really great series one the entire family can watch with the exception of perhaps one or two episodes.
