Long Hard Times To Come

So, lately I've been trying to cut back on television watching to get me more time for other things – real life, writing, actual books, etc. But sometimes that doesn't work out.

Which is to say, I've gotten hooked on Justified.

I was told that you could just start watching with the second season (lies!) but even so, I'm totally addicted to this show. For those not in the know, the basic premise is about a US Marshal (Raylan Givens) who gets transfer from Miami back to his home county in Kentucky. It's a dark, violent, modern cowboy story and while second season's main plot focus on Raylon being a badass lawman and Boyd (who is sort of his friend? when I finish watching the first season I'll know) a convict trying to go straight. ( More Rambling On )

 

The last thing I want to mention is the use of language on this show. It reminds me of True Grit in the poetry and vocabulary that the show uses. Just about every line is clearly crafted with love and lends the show a deliciously dark humor that helps ameliorate the violence.

So anyone else watching Justified? And if not, have a succeeded in convincing you to give it a try?

I don't know if I'll do Remix this year. TVD didn't make it as a qualifying fandom and I dunno... I'm not even really writing at all and I don't want to sign up and have to default.
