Thinking about watching … Justified

[Big 8 Rules]

I’ve got a few TV binges in mind of shows I’ve not seen, but have seen references that they are good to great.

So this group’s assignment is to give me the goods on why I should or shouldn’t invest time.

So, starting with Justified. I like just about everything Olyphant has ever been in. But beyond that, convince me yes or no on Justified.

Go. And don’t leave me hangin’.

I am not one to watch much TV, I haven't even watched a prime time show in years, and still found Justified worth binging. IMHO it is more of a western than it is a cop show. I grew up in rural Alabama and will say that a lot of characters on that show in large measures remind me of actual people in our area and a lot of corruption we had as well.

Watch it. Olyphant kills it, the writing’s sharp, and the villains are top-tier.

Now you got me interested. I am not much of a tv watcher but will give this a try. Olyphant has never disappointed.

Watching grass grow is more entertaining than watching tv. Read the Bible!

Justified is a great show.

It’s based on an Elmore Leonard book (or at least the character). Always good stuff, and the show did it’s source material justice by having great dialogue.

Started out brutal. Cain killing Abel. Straight up brutal. Who saw THAT coming???? Couldn't put it down. Fully recommend.

I had a short reel from Justified hit my FB feed a couple days ago. Was of Olyphant and a guy named Jody played by Chris Chalk. Chalk was great in the HBO Perry Mason origin show. So that’s another plus that is pointing me towards watching this one.

Watch Jack Ryan on prime. Based off the Tom Clancy novels. My daughter was watching it and I got hooked. I believe there is 4 seasons.

I only watched snippets, but seemed over-stereotyped with B movie type acting, but a lot of people loved it. Im not sure it will be your intellectual gem.But this is coming from a guy that tried to watch Breaking Bad and the Sopranos after multiple attempts due to almost everyone loving those, so there is that.

Great show imo ... especially the scene where the family is having breakfast and a bottle of Wild Turkey is sitting on the middle of the kitchen table.

Thats pretty good, but it still seems like some ABC/CBS/NBC type shit.

You wouldn't think that after watching the first two episodes. That show is addicting as all git.

[LyquidMetal]

Highly reccomend. Binged it and it had what I call an appropriate ending.

Just don't confuse Justified with Justified:City Primeval which came out recently for a few episodes and is so-so.

Fvck ya !

 

[CB3UK]

It's based in Kentucky and they use a lot of names referencing local places around here. That's all I got.

 

[Big 8 Rules]

Responses confirm that I need to watch. Doubt the missus will join me on this one. Appreciate the input all, looking forward to starting this one.

Justified I really liked.
Tim O knocks this one out.
