<p>I watch just a few shows, and apparently most seem to be taking a break :(, but I remembered my oldest mentioning that she watched Justified which is a western based on a character developed by Elmore Leonard.
Now I am familiar with Leonard but not the character, I thought it was going to be a western set in the mid century, not present day.
I like it, and although I am a long way from being caught up, I’ve seen guest stars like Clarence Williams lll! and Stephen Root as a judge that wears speedos under his robe & packs a sidearm.</p>
<p>I live on the west coast in a city so the setting of Harlan County, Kentucky is very exotic to me, even though my some of my ancestors are from that general region & D travels with her BF several times a year to vist his parents who’ve retired to a lake in southern Tenn.</p>
<p>The storyline is based around the main character, U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens played by Timothy Olyphant who I hadn’t seen before although he starred in Deadwood.
I hope that they continue to flesh out some of the supporting roles although i enjoy watching him, the amount of violence pushes my admittedly very low tolerance.
Nicely written complex characters for the most part.
I even now like his nemesis/childhood friend who I couldn’t stand at the beginning.</p>
<p>Anyone else watching?</p>
