Justified: City Primeval premieres 7/18/23 on FX
A subreddit dedicated to the FX original television series, Justified.
"Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens is something of a 19th-century–style, Old West lawman living in modern times, whose unconventional enforcement of justice makes him a target of criminals as well as his U.S. Marshals Service bosses. As a result of his controversial but "justified" quick-draw shooting of mob hit-man Tommy Bucks in Miami, Givens is re-assigned from Miami to Kentucky. The Lexington, Kentucky Marshals office's jurisdiction includes Harlan County (a hopelessly impoverished, backwoods coal-mining community in southeastern Kentucky), in which Raylan grew up and thought he had escaped for good in his youth."

“The Sticky”, premiering on Amazon Prime December 6. According to IMDb, it follows Ruth Clarke, a Canadian maple syrup farmer. Martindale plays Ruth.
On a rewatch after a long time and I forgot how good the styling is for almost every character. Raylan and Boyd have iconic pieces to their wardrobe. Winona has best style and everything looks amazing on her. Dickie's hair is lethal and Dewey's tank tops and necklace round out his character perfectly.
when Raylan is talking to Ava at her house while she's telling him about Bowman, he's standing by the wall telephone and there is what appears to be a list of phone numbers on the wall (that's what we did when I was a kid too) he gives the list a kind of pointed look, is that foreshadowing or something?
I started coat shopping for the winter, did anyone ever id this coat. I was told it was hugo boss
I'm watching this for the first time and while talking to Dickie Bennett in the woods he's explaining how Helen raised him and says "That woman raised her dead sisters kid as her own, because..." and he pauses before finishing. It feels like he was about to say "because I was" or something like that.
I couldn't find anything about this from a quick Google though. I might be reading too much into it, and maybe my "TV plot predictor" is overly sensitive these days..

Giving yourself as much creative freedom as possible and obviously straying from the Justified Universe, what genre could you see a Dewey Crowe spinoff handling? For example, I think young Dewey would work great in a Star Wars type show as the Luke Skywalker stand-in. Or perhaps he could be an everyday schlub that gets wrapped up in a government conspiracy a la Person of Interest or The Blacklist. What other Dewey Crowe genre-busting shows might work?
And by that I mean not:
My personal vote is Wynn Duffie and to have it occur just after the events of S6.
Mags Bennett is somewhat distant second.
So what do you think? Which minor character’s performance justifies an encore?
Hello all,
I'd really appreciate if someone can help me find the name of the songs or music that were played during these two scenes:
Season 2 E 10 - When Boyd is kissing Ava in the last scene before the episode ends
Season 3 E 1 - When Boyd walks into prison
For the second one, I read somewhere that it was Hobo Man, but the actual tune on the episode was different than the song on Spotify.
Thanks!
Might be reaching here but Amy Smart's character in "Just Friends" ended up with her love interest, Chris Brander. Do we think this is a coincidence or a slight nod to Amy Smart's previous role?
I will try not and spoil anything but Neal McDonough was absolutely fantastic as the villian for this season. I was riveted every time he was on screen. Also, what happens to him in the end is pretty damn satisfying.
Sidenote, Graham Yost must love Band of Brothers because a solid amount of the cast shows up in Justified, including Neal.
This is one of the BEST. It shows a sympathetic fugitive,very important. And then, it shows Raylan being cool AF when he confronts the gangsters chasing him. This is a CLASSIC episode of the series.
Shows seems pretty tame so far. Being FX I was expecting the wow factor of SoA and the Shield and shows of that nature, does it ever get there? Not asking for spoilers just curious if it ever ramps up
I read this book not too long ago, about a young man working the coal mines in Kentucky who schemes to get out and find a better life for himself. Burke's books in general are terrific, but this one, I think, would be a favorite for Boyd or Raylan.
It’s sooooo bad 😭😭😭
I love audiobooks and I burn through them so fast because of road travel. I love Elmore Leanord as I feel like of if I tried to read the stories after watching the show, I’d be doing myself a disservice because I already know the outcome. I watched Longmire right before Justified and feel the same way. I think Walt and Raylen would be great characters to dedicate hours of listening to. Anyone read the books before watching either show and were you disappointed by the adaptation? I know I was with The Terminal List and the abomination that was Jack Ryan.
The whole stand off when Theo men's intervene after Drew has been identified does not make any sense to me. How a few guys and an helicopter can't be such a trouble to law enforcement? I mean, put Drew in a car and drive away: Theo men's are so few. It feels like the plot has been written as if Theo had sent an army.
But even if he had sent that much people, how hiding Drew in the wild is not the option they go for? I mean there are lot of forests and hills in this county. Law enforcement do know the surroundings which is not the case for Theo's men.
Also, the convoy road trap would be a cool scene but, same, does not make any sense. As soon as the cops parks their cars and get out, the sniper as a clear shot on any on them. He means to shoot them (just before they park) but after that, for some reason, he does do anything, just waiting and letting them blow the car up. I mean, they are not that well hidden by the cars and they keep moving. On the police side also there are inconsistencies: if the helicopter is such a threat, why don't they shoot it down? They have a former sniper with them... That would be justified in regards to the situation.
Final thing, the whole idea was to get Drew out of the county but at the beginning of next episode, the guy is at the marshalls office, so he went back into the county. And Theo's men have not been neutralized. I mean...
It's the first time I see such big plot holes in this series that I found particularly well written otherwise. I was wondering what others people think of it.
Cheers
Does anyone feel she was a bit wasted. I just finished Season two again and she came in like a wrecking ball, had such a presence.
I think the story would have been amazing had they not handled her as they did. She seemed to do her best work in the background.
Martindale is a great actress.
Is it just me (and the back to back hurricanes). Ir are the first 6 episodes if Deadwood kind of boring?
It wasn’t till Kristen Bell showed up, and Mr. Wu saying “cocksucker!” 50 times that I started enjoying it
Only on episode 8 now. But hoping they found their groove!
Because Mansell is the only and main villain of Justified: City Primeval, people often make comparisons and associations with the main villain of the classic Justified series, which was Boyd Crowder, but i think that's wrongly put because they are quite different.
However if there is a character in the classic series that for me is very similar to Clement Manzell, that would be Boon, they both have a similar psychopathic personality, they are intelligent, and very dangerous, they both transmit the vibe that you don't know for sure if you will walk away with no consequences or if he will end up shooting you for whatever reason.
What do you think would win between this two? Boon has proved to be as good with the gun as Raylan Givens itself, and Mansell to be a good shooter as well by killing the Albanian mafia (or maybe most of it) single-handed. So... Mansell or Boon? please argument your opinion no matter wich one is!
Canadian here, so I may be wrong, but the accents seem to be all over the place. And Michael Rapaport ,who is from NYC, seems to be using some generic Southron.
I practically finished watching Suits and then moved on to Justified and so far (halfway through season 4) I've seen three actors who appeared in both shows.
Margo Martindale - Mags Bennett (Suits - Nell Sawyer)
Neil McDonough - Robert Quarles (Suits - Sean Cahill)
Ian Reed Kesler - Mark (was the ex Army friend of Tim Gutterson that Colt killed) (Suits - Stu Buzzini)
I wonder if there's more.
I'll put Boyd Crowder up beside Al Swearingen for sheer fun.

As a recent watcher who found this on Hulu well over a decade later, it was such a great experience to watch. It's one of those shows that you're disappointed you've finished. I watched City Primeval over the last few days and felt pretty disappointed. However, I also got hyped at the end when seeing Boyd escape and show down with Raylan one last time. So, it makes two cases:
The relative quality between the original run and city primeval were so out of whack, it shouldn't come back because future quality would be a risk.
Everyone was super hyped about the ending and getting back to some of the old characters and old locations could really get this show back on a winning formula.
I'd be for number two, strictly because every scene goggins has been in has been impossible to turn away from. IMO, city primeval didn't develop the characters and make us care about them or the environment and the villain largely felt like a low stakes punk. Curious what others think.
