The DrsC have been faithful watchers of the TV series Longmire, a sort of modern day cowboys and indians police procedural set in the imaginary Wyoming county of Absaroka. The title character, Walt Longmire, is the sheriff of a 'county' which is also home to a Shoshone reservation, and not far from a Crow reservation.
They filmed the exteriors for Longmire in Northern New Mexico, which was more picturesque than much of Wyoming. I'm thinking the imaginary Absaroka County, aka County 24, is located somewhere in the area between Greybull and Powell, although the show is careful not to pin it down.
We just finished the last two episodes; the series ended this fall after six seasons. You can view all of it on Netflix, although the first few seasons were originally broadcast on cable channel A&E and the last couple appeared only on Netflix.
We'll miss having new episodes next fall, and probably rewatch the old ones. In the high country, we take our mythic heroes seriously. It isn't unheard of to see a "Longmire for Sheriff" bumper sticker on a pickup at the market or hardware store.
