Did anyone here watch first few?
I have read all of the Hillerman works including his daughters, so have to remind myself that these shows are NOT from the books.
Also have to realize they are TV shows, not a movie. Watch VERY LITTLE TV, but I know they are better than most of the crap I have tried to watch on TV. It is a fresh idea unlike most of what is out there in tvland.
Thoughts!

I'm watching. 3 episodes in. I read quite a few of Tony Hillerman's novels years ago, and really enjoyed his writing. We'll see how the TV show does. So far, it's better than 95% of what else is on TV.

I like the show, sort of a spin off from Longmire. However It, Longmire and Yellowstone all have one thing in common, White man bad. Still you have to watch something.

We are watching it, my wife is Navajo she loves the show. Always thought be interesting to be a Navajo nation cop, but I can’t speak Navajo so would’ve been a no go.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

LouisB: Yes the VarmintWife and I are both somewhat enthused with this series - it airs at 11:00 P.M. so we tape it and watch it the next day sans the commercials. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

I read a number of Hillerman's novels years ago. Interesting plots and characters.
I remember reading somewhere, also years ago, that Hillerman was anti-Second Amendment.

L.W. I don't think he was. But he died in 2008, and his daughter Anne Hillerman took over the writing. She's a Santa Fe liberal. Bright blue.

The wife and I have been watching it. Similar to the books, but not the same. Better than the other crap on TV.
