Justified

One of the latest TV shows I’ve watched is called Justified. The show stars Timothy Olyphant, the guy from the Hitman movie. He plays a US Marshall from Lexington, Kentucky who doesn’t want to be there. Basically, the show revolves around him. At first he’s like a trigger happy gun slinging cowboy, but there’s more to him than that. All his kills are justified. Anyway, here’s the plot summary:

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.

FX has just completed the entire first season and I just finished watching it. Here’s my take: At first, the story was interesting when all the shooting was going down. As the series progresses, more drama unfolds. I hate drama. Towards the end of the series, I couldn’t finish an episode because I usually fall asleep. I think I have ADHD. If you’re into a lot of action and a lot of drama…and people who speak drawl, this show is definitely for you.
