the watching of things

Fingers are crossed that Longmire gets a fourth season. I really enjoyed S3, even though it went a little darker than the first two. I think the stand-alone episodes were my favorite this year though - the writing seemed stronger when they weren't trying as hard to tie all the other subplots together. The cinematography remains pretty as ever

I find a lot of shows that are set in a rural town really miss the mark in how they portray them, like they're just small cities or else some idealized studio back lot, but Longmire gets it mostly right. There was a line in the very first episode where they're getting the farm guys to try on the pair of jeans found in the snow to identify the suspect, and one of the guys asks how that would prove it's a ranch hand who owns them, and Vic says something like "They're Wranglers." The guy answers "Around here, everybody wears Wranglers." I laughed so hard because that's not a detail that would even be a factor in a big city investigation.

I keep thinking I should, but it's hard to find time to watch an adult oriented show with children in the house

Yeah, that's definitely a show that I wouldn't have been able to watch with young kids around. We have to wait until they're in bed, and as it is the younger boy walked into the wall when he got up to fill his water cup because he was so entranced by the breasts in a shower room scene. lol. I'm really looking forward to getting our basement finished so we can move the tv down there and not have the kids sneaking out of bed to watch from the hallway.
