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.

James Poniewozik TIME Magazine I'm still enjoying the hell out of Justified, and the upside of my quibbles here is that there's so much good to work with: there's nothing wrong with Justified that can't be fixed by the many, many things that are right with Justified. Aug 26, 2014 Full Review Phelim O'Neill Guardian Always a robust show, Justified is looking rock solid. Jun 24, 2014 Full Review Tara Ariano Slate It's possible that the writers of Justified understand Elmore Leonard's best character better than Elmore Leonard does. Jan 17, 2012 Full Review Joseph Kratzer What Culture One of the many reasons why Justified is so good is the fact that no matter how convoluted the relations among the series' characters appear in retrospect, they never feel as such (at least to excess) while watching. Rated: 5/5 Aug 26, 2014 Full Review Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant The great thing about Justified is the way it fills itself with characters who live and die by a code that strives to keep even the most dastardly of characters from crossing some sort of ethical or moral line they have put down for themselves. Aug 25, 2014 Full Review Mark Dawidziak Cleveland Plain Dealer Even with all the changes, Justified remains the same potent mix of understated humor and fascinating point-counterpoint intrigue.

Olypohant, Goggins and Carter all deliver great performances. The series does not seem as worried about portraying social justice issues, which can be common now, affecting dramatic flow.
