The new episodes premiere Sept. 10.
"Longmire" bit the dust for a mere three months before the A&E crime drama's fourth season found a savior in Netflix. Picking up right where Season 3 left off, Walt begins the pursuit of his wife's killer and we discover whether Branch died at the hands of his father's gunshot. Meanwhile, now that Henry's charges have been dropped, how is he handling his freedom? While you await answers, The Huffington Post has an exclusive first look at photos from the new season.

I love this series. I've read all the books & watched every episode so I'm happy Netflix picked this one up!

To that point, while the Dallas remake lost a lot after Larry Hagman's death, it still angers me that TNT didn't give them a decent send-off instead of cancelling it with a cliffhanger.

The podcast episode is called: 'Straight Outta Compton' and Too Much TV

(48,217 posts)You can get Netflix on most blu-ray players, a Roku, or an Apple TV, as long as you have a broadband connection. There may be other devices that work, too, but those are the ones I'm aware of.

(54,770 posts)I guess I hook the computer up to the TV somehow.
Believe me -- had trouble getting a DVD to work with my TV. I am challenged that way.

(48,217 posts)However, most people use a Blu-Ray player, a Roku, or an Apple TV to stream to their TV. I think there are other options now, too, but since I'm happy with my Roku 3, I haven't paid much attention.
If you use the right connections, you can stream to any digital TV. You need a broadband connection, a streaming device (one of the above), an HDMI cable (the kind you use to connect your DVD player to an HD TV), and either Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable (works with Apple TV or the Roku 3).
A young person or a friend who is already streaming can help you set this up.
Once the devices are connected, you go to the Netflix website, sign into your account, and ask for a code to connect the device. Once you do, you can stream anything from the Netflix site.
Ditto for subscriptions to Hulu Plus, Amazon Prime, or other services, and the PBS "catch up" site is free.
But find a friend or relative to help you in person.

(54,770 posts)can do far more on a phone than I can. I really need to get rid of cable TV, but there are things I want to watch. Sounds like I can get most of it with the things you are talking about, once hooked up properly.
Thanks again.

(1,945 posts)I am so excited that it's finally here! I keep forgetting that since it's Netflix all episodes will be available at once. I don't think I'll binge watch it all right away, but it will be hard to stop at just one or two at a time. It will be interesting to see if it gets extended for another season. How great would that be?!
I have not read the books yet but still plan on it. With all of the characters already in my head it will be like watching even more episodes.
