This show is the best. If you have not watched it yet you should. Timothy Olyphant has been compared to the young Clint Eastwood. I would agree, with the added comment that Timothy Olyphant is a really good actor. Justified is far superior to The Shield in my opinion and I am so happy that it will have a third season. The combination of humor, tension and character development is just unequalled on TV.
The decision to keep Walton Goggins in the neither totally good nor totally bad character of Boyd Crowder was genious. The writing is solid with Olyphant pulling off some of the funniest lines outside a comedy format and each season's story is completed within the 13 episodes with usually just one little thread left to continue into the next season. Love it.… Expand

I have loved Justified from the very first episode, and this season is no different. Im very pleased to see that it has been picked up for a second season and I hope for a third. Everyone should give this show a shot.

This show is definitely one of my current favorites. Season one was great, especially after they quickly moved from mostly stand-alone episodes to incorporate the much more interesting season story arc. My hope for season 2 is for FX to simply expand upon everything that made the first season so great: the characters themselves and the area as almost a character itself. My only real criticism is the the smaller bit roles and guest stars can sometimes veer towards caricature ( I actually grew up in the Kentucky area.)… Collapse

In Season 1, it was Timothy Olyphant that lured me in, and Walter Goggins kept me there. Season 2 brought the gigantic force of Margo Martindale as Mags Bennett. Wow. Wow. She brings a whole new life to the ensemble, and helps make this season even better than the first, which is great for the show since the sophomore season of any break-out show can be risky. In this season, all the stakes get raised, and the last episode is truly harrowing, right down to the post-showdown scene. It gives me chills just thinking about it.… Expand

Great cast, great acting, and some really good lines make this show fun to watch. This has got to be one of my favorite shows on TV right now. I highly recommend getting the first season and watching it before you watch season 2.

After the premier tonight, it seems that Season 2 will expand on both characters and story lines that Raylan will encounter. The show itself is a guilty pleasure and Timothy Olyphant plays Raylan perfect. Well written and as a writer from season 1 stated, each show is like wrapping up a novel.

Great show, cast, and story. The characters are also great. There's something everyone will like in this story! There's action, adventure, comedy, drama, and more. It's not one of those shows where you need to watch season 1 to understand season 2. Anyone can watch it, everyone should watch it!

Solid premier. More sure handed than last very good season. This season should prove outstanding. Lead character more comfortable and confident in role. Killer grin still there but more understated acting with greater effect.

How it has kept all the charm from the past series and has furthered the characters life's in dramatic ways while keeping you on the edge of your seat is amazing! Sure it has got along way to go to become a perfect show but that comes with time, I am just glad to see the actors get some Emmy recognition and am fully hoping they win.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's been a good season and a season that solidifies this show as one of the best on television. This is a great show. Unfortunately, I feel like it has regressed a bit. After an impressive start to the season, Walton Goggins' character has become fairly incomprehensible. He seems more like a plot device than the brilliant scene stealing villain that he played in season one. I hope they push the envelope a bit more with him before the end of the season.… Expand

The last episode of this second season has left me breathless and proves that the series has tremendous staying power and can get even better than it already is. What sets this series apart from everything else that's on TV right now (and frankly, has been for the past few years) is plot and character development. Not only is the central plot gripping and innovative, all the subplots thus far presented serve it amazingly well and are worthy in their own right. The same can be said about characters. As if characters as rich and multi-layered as Raylan and Boyd weren't enough, we still get marvelous characters they can play off of, such as the whole of the Bennett family. Elmore Leonard is a freaking genius!!!… Expand

After a clever start and a slow middle, Season 2 really cranked things up and finished strong. Great dialogue and fantastic acting. Certainly one of the best shows on television at the moment.

Justified is the best TV show of it genre in a very long time. It breaks molds and stereotypes to bring a refreshing twist to things we've seen before. I've been captivated from Season 1's first episode and it has done nothing but build to a crescendo with the finale of Season 2. If you are a fan of the action/western/detective genre and haven't worked this brilliant show into your scheduled programming then you aren't watching TV.… Expand

I was not that impressed by the first season. But this second season really made me change my view on the whole show. It really is great. Makes me wonder if I didn't give the first season enough of a chance.

A perfect show. A perfect show. A perfect show. A perfect show. A perfect show. A perfect show. A perfect show. A perfect show. A perfect show. A perfect show.

One of the awesomest and Amazing show i have ever seen . Timothy is one of the best actor i really appreciate . He made this character so much attached to him the im sure none can do better then him . all the other cast is really awesome specially Walton is amazing . All the stories is so well written and well directed . Justified is one of the few shows that one will remind forever .

Olyphant and the rest of the characters are simply riviting. The stories are great and the twists are often very unexpected but realistic (believable?).

Aunt B ain't got nothin on Maggs Bennett...I already left review for show...but this one is for Margo Martindale. She led season 2 as the star of the show hands down...She deserves a Globe...Don't mess with Momma!

cant get much better than this..................................................................................................................................................................................................................
