I recently watched a few episodes of the murder mystery television show Longmire, via Netflix. The show is supposedly set in Wyoming. But the timber just didn’t look right to me. So I did some checking and it turns out that they actually film the show in and around Las Vegas, New Mexico. (Coincidentally, the same town where the original Red Dawn
FWIW, I think that Wyoming was a very unrealistic choice for a murder mystery show locale. In just the first season of Longmire there were something like 14 murders in the fictional “Absaroka County.” Talk about a crime spike! If that happened in my county, then I’d be living in undiluted mortal fear. In reality, Wyoming’s murder rate bounces around 2 people per 100,000 per year. In 2011, for example, there were only 11 people murdered statewide–and that in a state with only 568,000 residents. (By the way, just a couple of double homicides thoroughly skews the statistics for some years.) Well, do the math! Absaroka County must a have a murder rate more like Chicago than Cheyenne. If they were making realistic television, then Wyoming would be much better suited to a “mailbox vandalism mystery show” or better yet, a “unsolicited zucchini delivery mystery show.”
