How this season is filed

Filed by Tessa Quinn · Spoiler-Free (Mostly)

Dennis Weaver's New Mexico marshal brings boots, a hat, and western myth onto New York asphalt. Fish-out-of-water crime on the Mystery Movie wheel, post-Gunsmoke reinvention with a drawl. Cowboy patience colliding with Manhattan procedure, then winning the hour on charm instead of gunfire.
