Season 2 opens with serial killer Wayne Durell and other prisoners escaping the FBI into the mountains of Absaroka County. Longmire risks his life to travel up a mountain by foot in a snowstorm to catch them.
I find Longmire at its most interesting when it plays it subtle, going for the gruff, character-driven approach to mystery solving that's too often missing in a genre glutted by quick cuts and overly complicated plots.
