Surprisingly good…
Wow, this show is surprisingly good. I was actually about half way through the first season and I was thinking to myself “How is it possible this show is so well written?” when I noticed, for the first time, in the opening credits that the show is based on works by Elmore Leonard. I do not mean to detract from the fabulous job the screen writer’s have done adapting this for television but I am sure it helped a bit to have a solid base to work from. I admit, I have never read any of Leonard’s books, though I have heard they are very well written, but I have seen a few of his movies, and there are two things that you can count on from Leonard: great characters and great dialogue. This show has both (more on that in a moment).
In a way, the premise of the show sounds kind of silly to me. Essentially it is an attempt to transplant the old Western, with the fast drawing gunslinger, into modern times. The main character, a deputy U.S. Marshal named Raylan, has just been transferred back to his hometown in Kentucky after shooting someone under somewhat suspicious circumstances in Florida. Raylan is a fast draw and he gets himself into quite a few old Western style stand-off situations. Like I said, that sounds a little bit silly on the face of it (do they still train Marshals to draw quickly and shoot without looking?) but it actually works really well. They do not get ridiculous with it. All of the quick draw situations Raylan finds himself in are believable. There are no high noon shootouts on Main Street.
The show has a great cast of characters. The first season follows a story arc based around the Crowder family. The Crowder family are a bunch of criminals from Raylan’s hometown and they make excellent and really interesting villains. Boyd Crowler, in particular, is a really interesting character, and the actor, Walton Goggins, does a superb job playing him. Raylan’s father is also a very interesting character. There is a very strained relationship between Raylan and his father and the show handles it well. Usually shows like this run into problems dealing with strained family relationships. They wind up manufacturing a bunch of repetitive drama (the same arguments over and over) and then get very sentimental with it (the emotional blowup and reunion). This show avoids all of that. There were no cringe worthy scenes in this show, the kind that often feel like they come straight out of an introductory psychology textbook. That is surprisingly rare. Even some of my favorite shows have cringe worthy scenes here and there. This show, at least in the first season, which is all I have watched so far, had none.
The show also has really well written dialogue. I watch a lot of procedurals and the dialogue on procedurals usually leaves a lot to be desired. A lot of shows, I think, wind up sacrificing quality for quantity. Shows that put out 24 episodes a season always feel a bit like they were made in a factory to me. The same scenes, with minor variations, show up in every episode. The dialogue is extremely repetitive (the same arguments over and over), a lot of the dialogue is just exposition (“so, here we are, at the gangsters hideout”), or filler. I am not sure if it is because they only have 13 episodes a season, or if they are using some of Leonard’s original dialogue, or if they just have really talented screenwriter’s, but the dialogue in this first season was really good.
Another thing I appreciate about the show is that it often goes against cliches. I will just give one example of what I mean. There is a scene in one of the episodes where Raylan is drinking in the bar. We are far enough into the show to know that Raylan knows how to handle himself. There are two guys in the bar talking real loud, making crude remarks about some woman, and Raylan decides to confront them. This is a really familiar trope and most people, including me, immediately have certain expectations about where things are heading. The situation escalates and they decide to take things outside. This is where the two guys realize they picked a fight with the wrong person, right? Wrong. The show totally surprised me by having the two guys win the fight. Raylan gets beat up.
That might seem like a really minor thing but very few shows would have been willing to have their hero lose a fight like that. You are never supposed to perceive any weakness in the hero. Not only is that unrealistic but it is boring. I really appreciated that this show was willing to frustrate the viewer’s expectations. That was just one scene, and it was not all that important for the overall plot, but it was, to me, a great example of why I think this show is a cut above most of the television shows I watch. The show avoids cliche. The characters are not cliche, the dialogue is not cliche, and the stories are not cliche. I am not sure how this show slipped by me for four seasons, but I am glad I found it eventually.

A Real Dandy, Well Worth Watching
I tuned into Justified last March after reading a favorable critic’s review just before it premiered on FX and have been hooked ever since. It’s my favorite show, best since Sopranos, and if you’ve never seen it do yourself a favor and give it a look. The writing, some of which is based on the work of the great Elmore Leonard, is exceptional and the acting is topnotch. Shining as bright as the lawman’s star he wears is Timothy Olyphant, so perfect as Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens that after viewing a few episodes it’s hard to imagine anyone else in the role. Olyphant brings Givens to life as a heroic, yet very human character who’s as likeable as they come. He’s surrounded by a great supporting cast, not the least of whom is Walton Goggins as Raylan’s nemesis Boyd Crowder. All thirteen episodes of the inaugural season are worth watching, with some being especially noteworthy. The pilot is outstanding, introducing the players with the emphasis on Givens and exploring some of what makes him tick while also leaving some unanswered questions about this most interesting character. Episode 4 is a personal favorite of mine, focusing on Raylan’s pursuit of a fugitive and featuring a really neat desert showdown between our hero and a couple of hitmen. Some of the episodes can stand on their own, while others are more serialized, but whatever your preference the more you watch the more you cannot wait to see what happens next. Justified has drama and action, romance and laughs, and overall it’s a real dandy of a show that is well worth watching. I recommend it highly.

Fresh spin on crime-drama….
‘Justified’ is a TV series about U.S. Marshall Raylan Givens, a character created by Elmore Leonard and is expanded from his short story ‘Fire in the Hole!’. While the premise of the show seems by-the-numbers, it carries itself in a unique direction away from the usual crime series.
After a shooting in Miami, Marshall Raylan Givens is reassigned to his hometown in Harlan County, Kentucky. The series progresses in an episodic manner as we learn more about Raylan’s background and about the people he runs into on the job. These episode-to-episode plots may not sit well with some viewers accustomed to long story arcs, but the writers of this series keep things on an unpredictable level and I found each stand-alone episode engaging and watchable. It also helps that, though we do get some exposition on his co-workers the stories are (wisely)centered on Raylan himself. He’s a great character to watch and the writers never forget that the show’s about him.
Speaking of the writing, the dialogue of this show is VERY sharp. There’s still gun-fire aplenty in each episode (along with some well-staged shoot-outs) but it’s the dialogue that moves the plot along. I really can’t say that about any other crime show and that’s REALLY what makes Justified stand apart from the rest.
The dialogue of course wouldn’t work as well as does if it didn’t have terrific actors to deliver it. Timothy Olyphant proved in ‘Deadwood’ that he had the acting chops to carry his own show and he towers above all in ‘Justified’. Equally good is Walton Goggins who (more-or-less) seems the show’s chief antagnost. It’s the crossroads that these two characters come to that electrifies this season’s final episodes.
This first season DVD comes with a decent amount of extras. The cast talking about their characters is nothing new to people who’ve been following this show online, but the commentaries (on select episodes) are pretty good with insights not only into the stories and characters (and the influence by Elmore Leonard) but the little details about the real U.S. Marshals.
While Justified probably won’t be everyone’s taste I recommend everyone give it a try. With so many shows on networks recycling the same formula (from Soprano’s or the Shield) it’s nice to see a series like ‘Justified’ taking things in a slightly different direction. It’s clever, funny, exciting, and unpredictable and will keep you wanting for the next season!

Skilled Actors and Incredible Screen Writers
The entire cast is woven into the fabric of the story, plot, locations in a way that we, as interested viewers, can see the story unfolding and sense a direction. The Last Episode tied all the eposodes together. We can’t be certain if Marshal Raylan Givens won’t be transferred to a new location. We know that much of the cast will be changed.
I am not worried, I will be back to watch the next season and I will hope that the craftsmenship that the Director, Writers and Actors displayed in the first season has been included in the second season. I can’t recall ever seeing a group of actors work better on screen to tell an incredibly entertaining story.
A recent show addressed the concept that just because a person can fire an automatic weapon is not necessarily synonymous with intellegence. Screen Writer Ryan Bradley mentioned that most killers aren’t really as smart as 007. Yet characters (Bad Guys)in this series seems to have some depth. Arlin for one. Boyd for another. As for the Ladies, I don’t know why Raylan gets to be so lucky.
Post Note: The two strongest episodes were the first and the last. Part of the direction of this series had been predicated upon the availability of the actors. Boyd Crowder was shot chest center with a 45 caliber slug at the end of the first show. He survived it. (This happens in a soap opera when actor contracts or schedules forces the writers to kill the actor but then for reasons not known to the rest of us to seemingly bring him or her back as a miricle). In Blind Spot the Sheriff places two rounds in a cntract killers chest. After a brief period of time (two minites) the contract killer somehow picks up a gun and swings his arm around slowly to shoot the Sheriff. Could be, we have about 6 minites after the blood stops pumping.In “Bullitville”, Boyd Crowder suffers another gun shot from a hunting rifle in the chest on the left side just above the heart. The shock and trauma of this round should have put him in shock if not out and out kill him. This last event made me wonder if Mr. Croggins would be returning to Justified for a second season. We are looking for entertainment not reality. I bought the DVD and it was worth every penny!!!! Can’t wait for season 2.
