Deputy Raylan Givens has his own, Wild West-style methods of upholding justice, putting him at odds with the criminals he hunts and with his bosses in the U.S. Marshals Service. And an incident prompts his reassignment to the Kentucky district where he grew up. The character is based on one created by author Elmore Leonard in several books and short stories.

Doreen St. Felix The New Yorker Margo Martindale as Mags Bennett, in the second season, is an explosion and a whisper, a matriarch who would go so far as to injure her son to protect the family name. May 9, 2020 Full Review Matt Zoller Seitz New York Magazine/Vulture In season two, Justified really found its footing, especially as it moved away from a strict hero story for Timothy Olyphant's Raylan and toward a more ensemble vibe, and introduced one of the best villainesses in recent memory. Aug 25, 2014 Full Review James Donaghy Guardian If you believe in great American character acting then this is a show you shouldn't miss as no one is currently doing it better. Jun 24, 2014 Full Review Colin Biggs Vague Visages Besides the never-dull cat and mouse game between Marshal Raylan Givens and Boyd Crowder, there's much to recognize. Mar 25, 2024 Full Review Emma Clark-Dow The Post NZ Justified is crime-heavy, with a sprinkling of cowboy, and perfect for those who don't mind a modern take on a western. May 4, 2023 Full Review Joshua Rivera Polygon It's got all the intrigue of a good crime story, but with the added nasty, venomous bite of it all unfolding in a town where everyone knows your name, and your daddy's too.
