All The Praise For This Show Is... "Justified"

Justified (2010)

TV-MA for language

Starring Timothy Olyphant, Walter Goggins, Nick Searcy, Joelle Carter, Jacob Pitts, Erica Tazel

The Story:

US Marshal Raylan Givens (Olyphant) is reassigned from Miami to his home state of Kentucky following a shooting where he warned a man that he had 24 hours to leave town or else.  Well, he didn't leave, then pulled a gun on the Marshal.  The shooting was...

Justified.

But back home, Givens is immediately immersed in issues by the Crowder clan, led by old friend Boyd (Goggins) and it appears that Givens is going to have to keep his gun handy if he wants to survive his trip home.

Ah, a series I always wanted to watch but never did.

Saw that it was streaming on Amazon Prime, so I gave it a whirl.

The pilot episode was pretty good, so I kept going.

Through the course of the next dozen episodes, new developments happened to progress the story forward, but always adding new layers to what had happened before.

By the conclusion of the season, a lot of characters are no longer standing in Kentucky, and I'm looking forward to see what happens next.

Always been a fan of Olyphant, and am enjoying his take as a no-nonsense lawman.  An Goggins is an excellent foil as the man that Raylan wonders just how much he can trust before it blows up in his face.

Great stuff!

Final Grade: B+

Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: Doubtful that I need to buy it, and watching it once should be good.  Good show though!
