I really like the Pickett series books. Tried watching the shows and kept hoping they’d get better but was very disappointed!

Next Pickett iteration should be Nate (the real protagonist) going scorched earth...Really liked the first 10 or so, seemed to fall into repetition for the most recent 10. Still work my way through each, but get closer to dropping this as a must read series.
Longmire books >>>> Joe Pickett books. Could care less about the TV series.I've read most everything by him, and really enjoy his depiction of the region. He does a far better (and more accurate) job of portraying the culture than other people who write the kind of formula fic that he does; that's what keeps me coming back.
There are some cliches to the genre that he can't escape (deus ex machina being his worse habit: anytime things seem dire, Nate shows up with his .454 Casull and saves the day with some absurdly long shot. Every. Single. Time. It gets old). Regardless, they are fun, and watching the characters grow has also been enjoyable.
Much better than the Walt Longmire series, which amplifies the cultural cliches, and introduced the world to a cringy mispronunciation of "Absaroka."
