I watched part of it because I love westerns. I've got to watch the end of the pilot episode, though. I thought they could have been more clear on the characters, but overall I liked the no nonsense, soft talking, short conversational troubled sheriff, Longmire.

I guess he's a man who's been mourning the death of his beloved wife for a year, and because of that, he disconnected from his life and is in danger of losing his sheriff's job to an eager, if unqualified deputy who's running against him for the position.

The beautiful blonde Cylon from Battlestar Galactica is cast as a former Philadelphia homicide cop relocated to scenic Wyoming and who evidently has a bit of a crush on the repressed Longmire. She's quick to jump to his defense when needed.

I'll DVR it and give it a few weeks to develop, but on first glance I like the whole Americana of it.
