Justified is one of the few shows that I get excited to share with people. Teachers and students at school can't stop talking about it and our conversations never get much farther than
"Whoa, wasn't Justified amazing!?!?!"
The lowdown:
Justified is the story of Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant), a true-blue hero and something of a throwback, given to wearing a Stetson and cowboy boots, carrying his sidearm in a hip holster – a weapon he only draws when he has to, and when he does, he shoots to kill, because, as he sees it, that’s the purpose of a gun.
Olyphant's Marshal Raylan Givens, whom readers met in the novels Pronto and Riding the Rap (as well as the short "Fire in the Hole," which serves as the basis for the pilot episode), is a man of few words and deadly aim who is sent back to his hometown of Harlan County, Kentucky, after shooting first and asking questions later with an oily gangster. Once ensconced in the coal belt, Givens runs afoul of childhood friend Boyd Crowder, who's gone from mining to white supremacy and murder. Also competing for Givens's attention are local girl Ava, whose crush on the marshal doesn't quite obscure the fact that she's just murdered her husband, and his father, Arlo, whose criminal career is a millstone around Givens's neck.
