Justified

This is one of the few shows that I almost feel like I need to watch a second time each week. Partly because it is such a great show and partly because I always catch something new when I watch a second time.

 

Quick question: Based on all the hype, I DVR'd the season premiere but have not seen any previous episodes. Will I be completely lost jumping into the series now?

 

It does build some on past seasons, and the character who appears to be the Big Bad at this point in time is a holdover with some history. But you won't be completely lost.

You should watch the previous seasons anyway. Especially Season 2, which was incredible.

 

Raylan: I've been to Mexico, and I don't think you'd like it much
Boyd: How so?
Raylan: Because there seems to be a lot of Mexicans

Awesome premiere. Looking forward to a great season.

 

I'm pretty sure Neal McDonough appeared for the first time last night.

Which character is the "Big Bad" you're referring to?

 

Wynn Duffy.

 

Wynn's not the Big Bad; he's now the Carpetbagger's bitch.

 

This might become a must-read every week: Graham Yost breaking down each episode:

Love his explanation on why Fletcher Nix isn't dead (and kind of bumming we won't see him again this season). Fantastic opening episode.

 

I'm trying to figure out why Duffy is living in an RV under a bridge.

 

I'd watch this show if it starred anyone other than Timothy Oliphant.* I'd rather be teabagged at a Krystal on Youtube than watch another show with that smirking d-bag.


*with the exception of Ben Stiller.

 

Me too. And TV, I hated Olyphant when I first started watching Deadwood, but he plays this sort of character very well. I like him a lot now.

 

You're probably right. I may be giving him too much bad-guy credit since he's a returning character.
