The story begins with the Sheriff (Jonathan Schaech) driving by a couple that he finds suspicious because the woman in the vehicle looks like she has been beaten.
Sheriff turns around, asks some questions, and the abuser attacks him. After a brief battle where the punches were way off by far, the bad guy runs off and the Sheriff runs after him. Bad guy gets arrested, Sheriff turns him over to his deputies, and then gets back on the road in the opposite direction he was originally going. That was a dumb error.
Some town villain has just died, and the Sheriff wants his entire department at the funeral to show respect. One of the deputies calls up her friend to guard the Sheriff's Office and jail. He goes off to get some delivery food at the back of the building, and when he comes back the Sheriff's Office and jail are burning down.
Right there, my credibility in this show died. Any sheriff that is too dumb to care about the security of his own HQ and jail is a total loser. His team that just call up a random goofball to take care of the HQ are losers too.
The only good actor in this series is A. Martinez, and he is playing the same role of a wealthy tribal villain that he did on Longmire.
It is almost like this show is a spinoff of Longmire with cheaper actors and dumber stories.
