The Review
Justified is the most entertaining drama of the 2010s. Timothy Olyphant's Raylan Givens — a U.S. Marshal with an itchy trigger finger and a cowboy hat — is one of television's great creations. Walton Goggins's Boyd Crowder is his perfect foil. Based on Elmore Leonard's writing, the show captures Leonard's signature blend of sharp dialogue, colorful criminals, and moral ambiguity better than any adaptation.
Fun Fact
Walton Goggins's Boyd Crowder was supposed to die in the pilot, but Goggins's performance was so electric that the writers rewrote the character to survive and become the show's co-lead.
