Justified reviews

There are a lot of coded reviews about this...mostly based on politics. And, unfortunately, its the worst kind. The despise all things remotely rural for intelligentsia snobbery politics kind. In other words, you break down a lot of the negative reviews, and most of them really tend to be based around the fact that it takes place in Kentucky and tells the story of people living in the country. Moving past that its Elmore Leonard and stories dont get much cooler than him. Plus its the merging of Elmore Leonards famed westerns with Elmore Leonards famed crime novels and...if you cant love that you really have no heart. or at least no love for fine pulp literature. And then there are complaints that its based in Kentucky and Obviously shot in California. Theres no excuse for that. Its as Kentucky as the first Halloween was Illinois. They should have filmed in Georgia like everyone else is these days and gotten the scenery a little closer to legit. Beyond that, in typical Elmore Leonard fashion, the characters are all great and pull off amusing and ominous at the same time. And the actors are talented enough to reinforce the prototypical Leonard characters. The entire run pulls off Leonards ability to twist and turn character arcs into unlikely alliances, have ominous and malicious villains that are an entertaining and humorous pleasure to watch, and heroes that can walk the line between vice and virtue like alcoholic on a bender and still come out with something resembling a moral compass. In other words, its an Elmore Leonard show, youre going to be entertained despite its faults.

This has to be one of the most overlooked TV shows of recent years. Crammed full of excellent characters played brilliantly by the cast. All headlined by Timothy Olyphant channeling his inner Eastwood but with a more wry, modern twist. But the show is stolen by Walton Goggins as the main protagonist Boyd Crowder.
