OK, I'm Adding "Justified" To My Can't-Miss Viewing List.

It joins such shows as "Breaking Bad," "Mad Men," and (to a slightly lesser extent), "Downton Abbey" and "Boardwalk Empire" on my must-see shelf.

I caught my first episode of "Justified" last night---yeah, yeah, I know I'm late, especially given that I'm a huge Elmore Leonard fan---and it was sharp, violent, hilarious, sexy, surprising: you know, everything that 99% of TV output isn't, these days. Great writing, great acting. Highly recommended. Tuesday evenings on FX.

Margo Martindale (the actress who played Mags) won an Emmy for that role, too. She is awesome.

I agree with Little Star ... Season 2 may have been the best, though Seasons 1 and 3 were quite excellent.

Last night's season premiere flew by for me. It was so compelling, it held my interest until the final moments. I was surprised when the hour was up! That's always a good sign. There's every indication that this is going to be a fantastic season.

I concur with the advice to go back and watch previous seasons. If for nothing else, the developing relationship between Raylan and Boyd Crowder (played to perfection by Walton Goggins) is great fun to watch, and will enhance your understanding and enjoyment of their exchanges.

This is top-notch television... a rare thing. Enjoy it to the fullest!

I have stopped and encourage others to do so also, watching any TV show or movie with actors that make money off Hollywood by using guns then claim to be anti gun. You are either pro gun or you are anti gun. I am totally pro gun and think it is so hypocritical for an actor to make money off guns while claiming to be anti gun.
