I've only watched a few episodes of Longmire but I've enjoyed what I've seen so far. There was a mini marathon today and I got a chance to see "Tell It Slant". I was hooked as soon as Gary Farmer showed up. I knew this would be something special. Without providing any spoilers, let me just say that the scene in which Walt interviews Aaron about his sister's death is one of the more powerful pieces of film I've seen on television. I was so immersed in the emotion that I believed completely in the characters. The exchange between Gary Farmer and Robert Taylor, the lighting, and the filming were extraordinarily well done. This will definitely not be the last episode I watch!

Masterful Storytelling
Hitchcoc17 December 2018
This episode is what will make me continue to watch this series. It's had a few bumps, but this is so well done. A psychic woman is murdered. Her influence seems to have permeated the tribes. She has a brother who has taken on the role of a contrary (Remember "Little Big Man?"). He is fascinating man who has issues with alcohol. He is almost impossible to talk to. There are people in the community who have an interest, including Branch's nasty father, the land developer. The Sheriff's debate finally takes place but there are extenuating circumstances. We find out a lot more about several characters going forward. Good pacing and some nice moments, particularly the interview that takes place between Walt and Aaron.
