The show was not part of the television zeitgeist. I long for that annoyance. By providing your email, you agree to the Quartz Privacy Policy. Skip to navigation Skip to content. Discover Membership.

Media are best understood as a competition for attention on internet-connected screens. The writing on this show is fantastic; showrunner Graham Yost has an interesting CV, having written the screenplays for various high profile action movies like Speed, Hard Rain , and Broken Arrow , as well as for TV shows including Band of Brothers and Boomtown, and Justified is probably his masterpiece.

Raylan's colleagues also include the laconic and dry humoured Deputy Tim Gutterson Jacob Pitts, EuroTrip a former Army Ranger sniper, and the sensible Rachel Brooks Erica Tazel who is often seen as a level-headed person but is not to be underestimated. Raylan also must put aside his differences with his ex-wife Winona Hawkins Natalie Zea, The Other Guys as they both work in the same government building as each other.
This role suits him right to the ground and without a doubt this is my favourite role of his. He is awesome! The rest of the supporting cast was fantastic as well. I have always liked Walton Goggins from The Shield as corrupt police detective Shane Vendrell and it was great to see Walton Goggins on another series. I always thought Jacob Pitts would always be known for his role in EuroTrip and I didn't know what would he be like here but I thoroughly enjoyed his role as Deputy Tim Gutterson.
I also found Joelle Carter to be an attractive woman and she was a pleasure to watch as Ava Carter. Also featuring throughout the series include a treasure trove of guest stars including M. Well written and addictive, Justified was a winner. It was always a pleasure watching Justified and although it has come to an end, I can take comfort that it did not run out of ideas or go stale.
To all the cast and crew of Justified, I say thank you for all your stellar work on an awesome series. It was an absolute pleasure watching Justified. Crazy angry gun crazed Marshall who doles out justice in a way that puts a target on his back with criminals and places him at odds with his bosses in the Marshal service.
That conflict results in a reassignment for Givens to the U. District covering the town where he grew up. He is an anachronism - a tough, soft spoken gentleman who finds his quarry fascinating, but never gives an inch.
Dig under his placid skin and you'll find an angry man who grew up hard in rural Kentucky, with an outlaw father, who knows a lot more about who he doesn't want to be than who he really is. Considering the great reviews here on IMDb, I was looking forward to it. Seems like this show must attract the brain dead.
In a real way, it reminds me of that other TV show, Las Vegas. In other words short on smarts long on over the top unbelievable entertainment. I find it despicable. All the Kentuckians are displayed as racist dumb inbred and unenlightened, fostering the media's bias and agenda. Are we too dumb to read between the lines? The female characters are boring beyond belief and clearly written as an after thought to slip in some hot mama.
I watched three episodes and found the show rather boring. This is one great series and both my wife and I enjoyed it from beginning to end, season after season. It's hard to find a series that can maintain it's quality season after season but this one does it.
In addition, the casting is perfect, with stellar performances by every old and new cast member. I wish there were more shows like this. Good ending to it as well. DLochner 4 December The series already looks old fashioned and outdated in She is a little superficial and a little deep with her cowboy principle. Which is not bad, but no longer up to date. Walker Texas Ranger in Kentucky.
Good but superficial. Justified is an excellent,unforgettable and entertaining TV series that combines terrific direction,wonderful performances from Timothy Olyphant,Walton Googins and a great cast,fantastic Action,great dialog and a memorable theme song and score. All of those elements make Justified an outstanding show that is Crime Dramas and Television at their best. S Marshall from Miami,Florida who is a 19th century Western-style Lawman who uses old school tactics of the law.
After getting in trouble Raylan is transferred to his home town in the Lexington,Kentucky section of Harlan County. While in Harlan Raylan has to deal with childhood friend turned criminal in Boyd Crowder Walton Googins and other dangerous criminals and individuals. Justified is a brilliant and entertaining Television series that for 6 seasons and 78 episodes wonderfully mixed together genre elements of Crime Drama,Action,Western and Humor giving TV viewers one of the best Crime Dramas of it's kind and a great show that has a style all of it's own.
Right from the first episode Justified is an terrific show from the moment you watch it and when you see the series it pulls you into a journey that is violent and dangerous,wild and offbeat and at times can be over the top and exciting showing us a crazy world where everything is unpredictable and you don't what's going to happen or when. With Justified there is the good,the bad and the ugly with U.
S Marshalls,crime families,police and outlaws in a violent place where money,guns and drugs are in the air where blood and violence is aplenty. You are in Elmore Leonard's world of Pulp entertainment and you will be in for a ride. The Action on Justified is incredible,fast and fierce with many gunfights and Western-style stand offs where there is great build-up and a intense conclusion.
The dialog on Justified is outstanding and clever with great wit that truly adds to the show. The dialog makes the characters come alive and feel fresh. Although serious and dramatic Justified has a humorous and fun tone because there some moments that are just wacky and insane and the characters never take themselves too seriously and as a viewer you laugh at times.
Each of those villains that are on the show fascinating and will grab your attention. While Justified is a Crime Drama the biggest influence on Justified is the Western genre whether it's the characters attitudes,the style or gunfights the Western style is on full display on the hills of Harlan County,Kentucky.
The main character Raylan Givens is a great character and classic invention from Elmore Leonard because Givens is an old school lawman in the truest sense using old law tactics from the old West in the 19th century getting into Western style gunfights and drawing his gun on criminals and taking them down with one shot telling people it was Justified. Raylan is also an old school Cowboy with the white hat,belt buckle and Cowboy boots making him a 19th Century man in a 21 first century land.
A lawman can't be without an outlaw and the outlaw comes in the form of Boyd Crowder who is a top criminal in Harlan County who will do anything to be on top as an outlaw and rule with an iron hand whether he's taking out his rivals or avoiding the cops he will do anything to make money at all costs.
The main focus on Justified is the long and on going relationship between Raylan and Boyd who were once childhood friends now rivals who are on opposite sides of the law. The scenes and back and forth banter between Raylan and Boyd are some of the best scenes in the entire show giving the two characters an emotional depth that is amazing.
The ending in the final episode of Justified is fantastic,powerful and brings the show full circle not only for the show but for the characters Raylan and Boyd which is unforgettable. An outstanding conclusion. C Gainey Bo Crowder and more. The direction on the show is terrific,stunning and adds to the show with the camera always moving with great angles and a relentless pace. Wonderful direction. The score by Steve Porcaro is good,memorable and goes with the Action and style of the series.
In final word,if you love Elmore Leonard,Timothy Olyphant,Walton Googins,Crime Dramas or Television in general,I highly suggest you see Justified,an excellent,unforgettable and entertaining Television series that you will watch again and again. Highly Recommended. Definitely a show with a few really fun characters.
What's best about the series is precisely its main character, U. His new boss in the Kentucky field office is Art Mullen, a blunt and seasoned marshal who knows Raylan from teaching shooting together at the marshal training academy. The Miami incident, too, precedes Raylan everywhere: apparently the criminal underground takes notice when a marshal in a white hat yes, our hero literally wears a white Stetson makes good on a promise to shoot a criminal in a swanky Miami poolside bar.
Raylan is smart but rather bullheaded about the law, which is his prerogative as a marshal. He is also a very quick and accurate shot, and his hand is never far from his holster.
Boyd is also presently a white supremacist, complete with Swastika tattoo and rhetoric about the mud people descended from Cain. And he still loves blowing things up: in this episode he firebombs a black church, but he has a considerable reputation for blowing up bank vaults. Raylan has been through marshal training and lived the life of a lawman.
Yet the men are joined by their formative experience growing up in Harlan and going into the mines. When Raylan comes to see Ava their old romance returns: she confesses to having a crush on him in high school and wishes he had taken her with her when he left Harlan.
He wants to go to bed with me. Justified has a cast full of angry men, Boyd and Raylan chief among them.
