Justified 

A 6-part series developed for TV by Graham Yost

Starring Timothy Olyphant, Nick Searcy, and Joelle Carter

Available on various streaming services, including Netflix and Amazon Prime

The TV series, comprising 78 episodes, premiered on FX on March 16, 2010 and concluded on April 14, 2015. Like the novel Raylan (reviewed above), the series focuses on a recurring character created by Elmore Leonard – played brilliantly in the series by Timothy Olyphant.

I watched some of it last year. And since I read the book, I’m back to watching it again.

Critical Reception 

* “A compelling and complex series.” (The Guardian/UK)

* “This isn’t just some rote crime procedural. It’s the Hatfields and the McCoys, but with federal agents, mob bosses, drug dealers, and rocket launchers. What else do you need?” (Dennis Tang, GQ)

* “The series never quite earns its gushiest accolades… but it has qualities all its own: in an age of cable gravitas, it’s genuinely funny, with the pungent eccentricity of Elmore Leonard’s universe of odd birds.” (Emily Nussbaum, The New Yorker)
