... Question: Not much has been written or said about A&E's Longmire, which I think is a spectacular program because it is so very different. Is this going to be one of those shows that will be canceled this second season before the viewing public has a chance to watch? It seems like some of the better and more diverse programs are relegated to a minor network. What are your views and do you have any information on a third season? — Hank
Matt Roush: It's probably too early for a renewal just yet — the season isn't over until next Monday (Aug. 26) — but I get no sense this show is in any danger. It doesn't generate all that much buzz, it's true, and I imagine it skews a bit older than some of the flashier procedurals, but Longmire has been one of my favorite summer surprises the last two years, and I hope that it's in for a long run. I enjoy the way the stories take advantage of the Western setting and temperament, and Robert Taylor is a model of taciturn strength and sorrow as the appealing leading man. If anyone's missing those Jesse Stone movies on CBS, Longmire has the same attributes of wry melancholy, quiet suspense and intelligence, only trading in a baseball cap for a Stetson...
Longmire season two airs Monday at 10/9C on A&E TV. CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE EPISODE TRAILER FOR 'A GOOD DEATH IS HARD TO FIND,' AIRING AUGUST 19, 2013.
