Justified: City Primeval

[HansGruber]

I was hesitant to start this; I thought the original series was on of the few that had an almost perfect arc, and ended brilliantly…

That said…watched the first episode, and I’m in.

Interested to see where this goes.

I was waiting patiently. Stuff came up. Gonna have to catch it. I too thought the first one was top notch

As I said in the TWD Dead City thread (which slipped off the front page too quickly):

And then I watched the first two episodes of the new Justified. This is a GREAT show--Raylan's back and at least as good as he ever was. Again, I was afraid they were gonna dumb this down and stupid it up, and was pleasantly surprised that they didn't. I rate it Very Most Way Hella Snakeworthy--my highest rating!

Some cool old cars in the episode--a '69 Chevelle SS396, a hot-rodded first-gen Monte Carlo, and a '66 Pontiac Tempest caught my eye. Cool to see Willa pick up a Pontiac "arrowhead" emblem off the floor of the abandoned factory--I wonder if we'll see her use that as a weapon sooner or later? Wouldn't surprise me at all....

Also cool to see a Walther P.38 get some TV love, after way too many years....

So far it's been a great show! T.O. plays the character most excellent, big fan!

Agree with the above. It looks to be a great series. If you are able, I recommend you DVR it so you can skip the commercials because there are a ton of them.

Hulu. No commercials.

I have admired Timothy Olyphant's acting since the Deadwood series and he has never disappointed me in the Raylon Givens role.

Hulu. No commercials.

You must be paying for a higher level of service than I am. My Hulu has commercials. Fortunately, their breaks are only 90 seconds long or shorter. I watched the new Justified on FX Now and their commercial breaks were mostly 3 full minutes--although I have to admit that several of them were pretty entertaining.

I watched TWD Dead City on AMC streaming (free) and it had NO commercials, but these were all "old" episodes. I think the sixth and final episode is next week.

Finished binging Justified not long ago, the new one is on my radar.

Only thing that annoys me in this new series is the person they picked to play the daughter there's just something about her that just bugs me.

She plays a teenage girl. She is supposed to annoy you.

She does a phenomenal job

Me too. She reminds me of my daughter, when she was that age. (And now too, sometimes, in some ways, come to think of it.)

 

[Snake45]

Episode 3 was absolutely OUTSTANDING. So much was explained in very subtle ways, often wordlessly. There is some SERIOUS writing and acting going on here, folks.

That’s Timothy Oliphant’s actual daughter.

That’s Timothy Oliphant’s actual daughter.

Now that's cool, and may explain the chemistry

Just finished watching Ep 4. OMG I don't think I've ever seen a more brilliant, ingenious plot with more cleverly moving pieces.

Boyd Crowder as a villain has big shoes to fill, but this new guy is doing a hella job.

And I loved the brief homage to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest near the beginning of this episode. Did you catch it? I LOVE stuff like that.
