Justified

The FX drama Justified follows US Deputy Marshal Raylan Givens and his efforts to uphold the law in the Eastern Kentucky region in which he was raised. Givens is not a typical modern day government agent, however, but a throwback to the classic Marshals of an old western, replete with cowboy hat and boots, gun holstered to his waist and a penchant for giving criminals twenty four hours to leave town. Being reassigned to the Harlan County of his youth, meanwhile, allows for much soul-searching in regards to the man he has become, especially with a supporting cast that includes ex-wife Winona, his grifter/thug father Arlo and such crime-loving families as the Crowders and the Bennetts. The Kentucky of today may not be the Old West of yesteryear but it is in need of a law enforcer like Raylan Givens nonetheless—and television itself is better off with the quirky, literate and well crafted drama known as Justified.
