Longmire is the best of two worlds: a modern crime drama with dry wit and sometimes heart-wrenching emotion that's also got a glorious setting under the big sky of Wyoming.

It's nicely crafted with a slower pace than the average police "procedural," but more than enough character intrigue to compensate.

It is well-constructed all around—confidently made, well-acted, and the writing is much smarter than many shows like it. It hums, each episode these three feeling more well-paced than the one before.

Unassuming Longmire doesn't shout "LOVE ME!" but instead works its charms subtly, quietly.

Longmire, with spacious New Mexico standing in for Wyoming as the series' production base, makes a solid overall first impression without rising to the level of critical huzzahs.

Longmire isn't a conventional show. The mystery tonight might be slight, but the pilot is a dusty little gem.

Longmire is an entirely respectable alternative for anyone who'd rather not spend Monday morning rehashing the latest outrage on "Mad Men."
