    TV: Justified



    Justified is a new show starting tonight on FX, and it looks completely badass. It stars Timothy Olyphant (Deadwood, Hitman, Damages, Live Free or Die Hard) and Walton Goggins (The Shield).

    U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens is a modern day 19th century-style lawman, enforcing his brand of 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.S. 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.

    Anyone watched the premiere yet? I really liked it. Looks like a present day Deadwood at the moment, at least as far as the main character goes.

    It had the second highest rating ever in FX for a premiere, right after The Shield.

    I wanted to watch this since I'm all for old school cops who shoot first and shoot often, but for some reason I passed it up. It's weird that people love shows about tough cops who don't follow the rules, but in real life they're quick to hang these kinds of cops out to dry when some collateral damage occurs.


    “For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”

    Just the same as we love and root for serial killers in real life.

    People may not love or root for them, but people are fascinated by them and love movies/TV that tell their stories. Same with mafia/mobster types.

    So, no one tried this yet.

    Just watched the second episode and it was also good. Seems like the show will have a combination of serial and episodic storylines, which is good in my opinion.

    Some pretty good dialogue and action overall, and lots of shooting. Still recommending the show.

    It's making me miss Deadwood.

    Watched both episodes today...i went in thinking it would be TV for TV's sake (which it is). But i have to admit i enjoyed both episodes. I think what got me was the dialogue and characters....its well written and the main actor is spot on with his role. And, while i dont like that its yet another 'cop show' i did enjoy the fact that the team is badass and not pussy's who always get out maneuvered by the bad guys. In particular im referring to the the car shooting in the first episode.....i loved that once they get flanked, they dont just hide and cry and try to stay alive. They actively neutralize the enemy and remain calm, not losing sight of thier objectives.

    I really hope they develop an interesting story line, cuz the case by case approach gets old fast, and shows like this become too cliche.

    It's a necessary evil, the best way to go is to do as I mentioned, have a combination of the two... as far as show survival goes. Not many serialized dramas are surviving at the moment.

    So what are your impressions of the show so far?

    At first a was kinda "meh, its decent" but the latest ep was excellent! (the one with 'Stuart' from Spin City)

    Must agree with you. First it was mediocre but last episode they turned it up a notch. Will continue it, but to be honest, this is probably the extent of what this show has to offer.

    Another kickass episode. I must say, this show is both surprising and surprisingly well made.

    The last 3 or 4 episodes have been very very good. Loved his father a couple of episodes ago.

    I waiting for the episode where he fucks his ex-wife... you might remember her from Dirty Sexy Money.

    It was bugging me also because she's hardly recognizable without all the expensive makeup and jewelry. She apparently was also in The Shield but I don't remember her.

    Anyways, the acting has been very good in the series, but at times I think it gets a bit uneven when lesser actors are introduced. The fat sheriff who was also in Life really does a poor job here, and I think those scenes with the hitman and the "apprentice" were quite cringe worthy in how poorly they were acted.

    But other than those complaints, I've been enjoying the series a lot. Good to see the guy from LOST also.

    So, who's up to date? Last episode was great... it just had a lot of great things, and it was packed with plot driven scenes...

    We got the ex-wife vs. lover situation. The scenes with Arlo were really good, we got the whole Crowder drug operation with him meeting his provider, Ava vs. Crowder.... and then we have Boyd who is completely nuts. Still don't know what exactly he's up to, but this was a really good episode for him.

    Season finale on Tuesday.
