This Western crime series is decent company, provided familiar police work and a strong cast are enough for the evening. ## Synopsis Wyoming sheriff Walt Longmire (Robert Taylor) has a criminal investigation to handle while living with grief he is reluctant to show. He wants to get on with the police work, but keeping his own troubles contained takes effort. Around him are Victoria ‘Vic’ Moretti (Katee Sackhoff), Henry Standing Bear (Lou Diamond Phillips) and Branch Connally (Bailey Chase). The opening case brings Walt’s guarded manner into contact with the other personalities around him. His duties keep demanding his attention while his loss remains part of his working life. ## Review *Longmire* is decent, undemanding television, carried by performances that are better than its mysteries. Creators John Coveny and Hunt Baldwin centre their Western crime series on a grieving sheriff and leave Robert Taylor enough room to make his reserve interesting. Predictable plotting is a substantial weakness in a programme built around investigations, and the cast cannot quite disguise it. We would try it for the company, with modest expectations of the cases. Robert Taylor makes Walt Longmire’s silences worth watching. There is thought in his pauses, and the sense of a man deciding how much of himself the job can afford to show. We were moved by how much effort Walt seems to put into remaining composed; his grief feels like something he is managing while other people need an answer. It is a performance that rewards a little patience, because Walt becomes more interesting once we stop expecting him to explain himself. Katee Sackhoff gives Victoria ‘Vic’ Moretti the sharper presence that this arrangement needs. A whole cast adopting Walt’s pace would make for a long evening, and her alertness keeps his stillness from setting everyone’s speed. Lou Diamond Phillips, as Henry Standing Bear, is another good reason to spend time with the ensemble. The supporting players can seem more immediately inviting than the lead, but Robert Taylor’s unwillingness to compete for attention is part of what makes him convincing. Wyoming gives the series a more particular home than an interchangeable city precinct, and the setting is a good reason to stay with it. The Western element also suits a lead whose authority depends on our willingness to watch him think. John Coveny and Hunt Baldwin understand that attraction and allow it time to work. Their choice makes sense for a character-led series, though it puts a great deal of responsibility on the actors to keep each exchange alive. The opening mystery is the clearest warning about the programme’s limitations. It begins with enough purpose, then loses urgency as the procedural work takes over, and the route through it feels too familiar. We grew restless because following the investigation became less interesting than waiting for another exchange between the characters. The writing gives the actors things to do, but it does not consistently give us a strong reason to wonder what happens next. We would recommend it to viewers who value a regular cast more than a surprising case. That is a substantial qualification for a crime series, and anyone hoping for an intricate mystery should take it seriously. Robert Taylor and Katee Sackhoff give the programme enough life to justify trying its pace, without making the familiar plotting feel much fresher. Give it an episode for the company; do not expect the investigation to do all the work. *Fi1m score 68, published 24 September 2026.* ## Straight answers **Is Longmire worth watching?** *Longmire* is worth trying if we value a strong regular cast over surprising mysteries; we score it 68 out of 100. Robert Taylor’s quietly affecting sheriff and Katee Sackhoff’s sharper presence make decent company, but the familiar investigations can lose urgency, so we recommend it with modest expectations of the police work. **Where can I watch Longmire in Mexico?** *Longmire* is not on any streaming or rental service in Mexico at the moment. It is available in 6 other countries; change your country at the top of the page to see where. Availability is checked daily. **How violent or frightening is Longmire, and is it suitable for children?** *Longmire* carries a US TV-14 certificate and has no UK certificate supplied, so we would not treat it as suitable viewing for younger children. That rating suggests material may be unsuitable for children under 14; we cannot give a more specific warning about violence or frightening scenes from the content information available. **How does Longmire compare to Justified?** *Longmire* is the quieter, more routine choice beside [*Justified*](https://film.one/tv/justified), which we recommend more strongly for its distinctive dialogue and the interplay between Olyphant and Goggins. Both make a lawman’s personal manner a reason to follow familiar police work, but *Longmire* suits viewers content with a reserved lead and dependable company rather than consistently absorbing cases. **What should I watch after Longmire?** After *Longmire*, try [*Justified*](https://film.one/tv/justified) (2010, Fi1m 87): For another lawman whose personal manner makes familiar police work worth following. Then [*High Noon*](https://film.one/film/high-noon) (1952, Fi1m 88): A more concentrated Western about the demands placed on one isolated lawman. ### Reviews we read (3) - **The AV Club**, Zack Handlen (B+): Handlen finds the pilot solid and engaging, though its central mystery loses steam and the series risks becoming formulaic. He especially praises its distinctive Wyoming setting and Robert Taylor’s nuanced portrayal of the stoic, grieving sheriff. [Read](https://www.avclub.com/longmire-longmire-1798173017) - **The Hollywood Reporter**, Tim Goodman (60/100, inferred): The critic finds the series entertaining but overly procedural and far from the greatness of Deadwood. Robert Taylor’s convincing portrayal of Longmire and Katee Sackhoff’s screen presence stand out for praise. [Read](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-reviews/longmire-katee-sackhoff-roberty-taylor-ae-deadwood-332462/) - **Variety**, Brian Lowry (25/100, inferred): Lowry finds the series an overly conventional, unambitious cop drama and modern Western. He faults its by-the-numbers mystery and says its central lawman is less compelling than his sidekicks.
