Season 5, episode one, begins right where the season 4 finale left off. As you watch Walt hazily come to with blurry vision and ringing in his ear, right away you are sucked in as though you are Walter Longmire himself. Your heart is racing, palms are clammy, mouth dry, and your eyes desperately search the screen trying to focus on anything that will tell you what has happened, why?, who?, and then it hits you – you’re in too deep. You are exactly where the show was taking you since the beginning. You exhale as Cady comes to the rescue and gets her dad to the hospital. And then you remember Donna and your heart starts to race again. Is she alright? Oh my goodness is she dead!? Before you even finish questioning yourself, Walt is dead set on finding her and trades in his hospital gown for his sheriff attire and so begins a three episode search, but of course Walt never just has one thing to deal with at a time, no, his relationships begin to slowly untangle as he finds out he is being sued by Barlow himself in a wrongful death case.Also weighing in at a ton of bricks, we dive deeper into the injustices of the Native American people. Not only are we shown what fictionally happens within theuniverse, but light is shined on what it’s like to live with Native American heritage and prejudice from both sides of the coin. Season 5 is hands down the best season yet. Walt, Cady, Henry, Vic, and even Ferg run around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to piece together mysteries with the lawsuit, numerous deaths, and personal problems. You board an even larger emotional roller-coaster this season. It tugs you in every direction, pulls on all the right strings, puts into question all of your favorite characters, and enforces the feelings you have for your least favorite ones. The season finale couldn’t have been more perfect and of course, more of a cliffhanger. Just as the tears flood your vision, the screen goes black and you tell yourself if this was still on TV this is where the commercial would be, but then you hear it – the theme music and you quickly repeat “no…no…no…no…no!” Having to wait another year is something many fans will endure, but hate to do. Yes, I’m a critices, I wrote articles that will hopefully get viewed and shared, but I am also a very big fan of this show. “Big fan” being an understatement. After reading this review, turn on Netflix and start watching
