Lately most new shows have been the same recycled junk and after a while it just gets tiresome. But FX has come out swinging in the last couple years, first with Sons of Anarchy and now with Justified.
Justified pilot episode drew me into wanting to continue watching this show and it has yet to disappoint, every episode is a mix of violence and a certain kind of dialogue that only Elmore Leanord is known for. Knowing that this was based off a short story I was worried that the plot would fizzle out after the first season. However to my surprise the second season was just as good if not better then the first.
Timothy Olyphant plays Raylan Givens, a US Marshal who was sent to a station near his hometown in Kentucky due to an incident in Florida. One thing that strikes me about this show is the way the characters interact with each other. It's not like most shows where the character's don't appear to know each other and actors are just reading lines. In this show you can tell the characters have a history with each other and it comes out over time.
All the actors and actresses play their roles perfectly but Timothy Olyphant in particular seems almost made for his role. I have been a fan of his since I first saw the movie "Go". Another role that deserves mentioning is Boyd Crowder played by Walton Goggins, this character, alongside Raylan's, is probably the most complex in the show and the interactions between Raylan and Boyd are some of the best scenes in the show.
Nowadays, every station is trying to pump out new show after new show hoping one will get some good ratings, so it's nice to see FX taking some time and making a quality show.
