Longmire (2012)
ep A Damn Shame
Television series on A&E
Show Summary: (A&E website)
Widowed only a year, Longmire is a man in psychic repair that buries his pain behind a brave face and dry wit. Struggling since his wife's death and at the urging of his daughter, Cady, Longmire knows that the time has come to turn his life around. With the help of Vic, a female deputy new to the department, he becomes reinvigorated about his job and committed to running for re-election. When Branch, an ambitious, young deputy decides to run against him for sheriff, Longmire feels betrayed but remains steadfast in his dedication to the community. Longmire often turns to close friend and confidant Henry Standing Bear for support as he sets out to rebuild both his personal and professional life, one step at a time. Robert Taylor stars.
Episode Summary:
Long buried family secrets come to the surface after a man and his horses are killed in a barn fire.
I skipped an episode of this show as I was not all that into that Amish plot. This one was good as a man torches his barn and fakes his own death to get insurance money. What I like about this episode is what it reveals about the skills and character of Sherriff Longmire. There is one horse left alive and Longmire is willing to do whatever it takes and pay the vet to save the horse. What happens and then what is actually happening is not apparent and Longmire figures it out by cleverly following the clues to reveal the true nature of the crime. At the end, he finally has to let the horse go and reads a beautiful poem to him. This was a lovely scene and a sad moment.
A really beautiful ending for this tragic episode. I am really enjoying this show and the strength of the lead character.
