morrisonliz I really like the show but there are a lot of obvious stupid story lines to set up the overall narrative. Also I can't believe the amount of criminal activity, murders, drug distribution, betrayal, blackmail and everything else under the sun in one town.

srstolz On the plus side, we have a bona-fide Western, centered around an easy-on-the-eyes cast with some remarkable redneck (and other) villains, loads of zingers a la Elmore Leonard, and some solid plot twists. The Kentucky and other dialects are a marvel, and the female villains consistently interesting. On the downside, there are zillions of plot holes, loads of hanging threads, and an awful lot of interesting but undeveloped ideas. They seem to have written this season-to-season without a long-term plan. Upshot: loads of fun, but miles from, say, Breaking bad.

antonsiribaddana Started to watch season one and it's really boring, I really didn't like this TV show because it's not written well, the season one first episode is the most boring episode ever. I really doubt how this TV series got good ratings. This is the far most boring TV series I have ever watched in my life.

Mr-Fusion "Justified" had real promise when it first started. It wasn't just a cop show, but also a bit of a Western. with old-fashioned lawman Raylan Givens chasing down modern fugitives. He's kind of a dick, but the best kind: a charming one. And Timothy Olyphant was (is) perfect for this role. But just beyond that first season, the show became serialized and blossomed into an honest-to-god crime drama. This is exactly why it became one of my all-time favorite TV shows; it was quietly riveting week-in and week-out. But it was also a world full of entertaining characters and a cast to match. Walton Goggins proved to be Olyphant's equal as his primary opposition (and a show highlight), and this Kentucky underworld is one I often couldn't wait to return to. Put simply, it's an Elmore Leonard joint, complete with his ear- candy dialog and offbeat characters; and that's enough for me. But they went and made it one of the funniest, engaging and rewarding shows I've ever seen. 10/10
