Did anyone else get the feeling they changed writers or hired a new showrunner in the fifth season (or late in the 4th)?
After four seasons, suddenly we start seeing Vick in her underwear and her deputy shirt unbuttoned in a very unprofessional manner, ridiculous shootouts, more bar room brawls than we saw in the first four seasons combined, and unbelievable storylines (a father purposely murdering his son?, Walt being able to track down the elusive head of the Irish mob in a few days when the FBI could not in years?).
It's very Dallas-like. ( And I liked Dallas, but it was a nighttime soap opera. I think of Longmire as more of a quality TV show.)
