Have I written recently about the greatest television drama show ever produced? If so, I'm doing it again. This is the second season for "Justified". Want to know how I know it's the best tv show ever? Well, Lizzie and I agree on it and that is one huge accomplishment. The star of the show is Timothy Olyphant who plays US Asst. Deputy Marshal, Raylan Givens. The story takes place in modern day Kentucky. His office is in Lexington but a lot of the story line occurs in Harlan County. Now, if you happen to be a Kentuckian don't take offense but the cast of characters often times resemble people out of the movie, "Deliverance". People usually get killed in each episode and Olyphant does his share of taking the crooks down. To his credit, he's cool, calm and gives the almost dead guys a chance to surrender. Then the crooks get stupid and he plugs them. Hence, the killings are "justified". Since this is the second season the Missus and I always felt badly because we missed the first three episodes from last year. So, we ordered season 1 from Amazon. It's only $29.00 for the entire year. Each episode is like a movie in itself so we've brought the Rialto Theater into our own home plus we don't have to sit through commercials. One of the truly fantastic things about the series is getting to know the cast of characters; unique beings all. Boyd Crowder is sort of the Lex Luthor of southeast Kentucky for Officer Givens. They have a history. Crowder alternates between smart and stupid and, except for Raylan's kind heart, he should be dead. Givens only wounded him when they had a disagreement over philosophies. When Raylan shoots the outcome is not in doubt. Givens also has a love life. He was married to a southern belle, Winona. She left him after six years of marriage but they keep on running into each other so you know what's going to happen. Actually, she was married to a sissy realtor but she left him so now she and Raylan are doing the nasty without anyone knowing. Yeah right! If you are out of the loop on characters it doesn't mean you can't catch up. If you aren't aware there is a channel, 1400 on Time-Warner, that allows you to watch all of this years episodes. Now that I've done everything for you except deliver the dvd's to your doorstep why "get on your dead butts" and give the show "Justified" a chance. This show has already been critically acclaimed. It's based on the writing of Elmore Leonard. If you've never heard of him read this from wikipedia. He's quite famous. You can watch it on the FX Network, Wednesday nights at 10 and 11pm EDT, Y'all!
