It helps that in the case of Justified and Longmire both where excellent shows that happened to have a country/rural setting - Yellowstone is merely a decent show by comparison.

Justified should be talked about like the Soprano's/Breaking Bad or The Wire - it really was that brilliantly done.

Longmire gets a lot of credit purely for showing lots of beautiful New Mexico countryside! I also recall that the story was pretty good, but it's been a while.

I cannot recall exactly where it was mentioned, but I remember one of the producers saying that they purposely wanted to highlight the beauty of New Mexico.

Also, Longmire's cabin is located in Valles Caldera National Preserve[0]. It's a little outside of Los Alamos, and it's an amazing place to visit especially if you enjoy hiking. And don't forget the Bradbury Science Museum[1].

The books are better than the TV shows, and the main character is not a "hillbilly" by any means.

Agree that Justified is a very well done show.

I have also been enjoying Wynonna Earp, which is kind of like Justified meets Ash vs Evil Dead.
