Buoyed by the effortless charisma of Timothy Olyphant's star turn as the laconic but lethal Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, this series is a twisted triumph. Read full review

The ensemble cast is terrific and the direction lean and perfectly pitched at every turn. Read full review

Like the show itself, Margo Martindale's performance is smart, chilling, amusing, convincing and unfailingly entertaining. And like the show, you really don't want to miss it. Read full review

In short, coming off the first season's solid ratings, Justified pretty much looks like a home run for FX, which has been getting by lately on singles and doubles. Read full review

Based on the first three episodes, I'm thinking season 2 is going to be even better and certainly more consistent. Read full review

Darn it if Justified showrunner Graham Yost and company haven't found a way to equal--if not top--that bunch [of opponents], while at the same time building on the lessons they learned in the first season. Read full review

The season premiere is a little clunky as it cleans up the mess left after the show's first-season finale--the sooner the show moves beyond that, the better. Read full review

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 happyThis 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

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.

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 firstThis 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.)… Expand

The second half of the season was great. The members of the Bennett clan were all portrayed very well. Raylan and Boyd also developed as characters. Ava annoyed the hell out of me. This season was a lot better than the previous one. The ending was very well done.
