Justified (FX) TV Show • Page 4

I thought the last season was pretty weak actually. Still a great show overall.

 

The second season is the crowning achievement. The Bennett family is the only villain that truly feels like they developed organically within the show.

 

i’d throw quarles in there too and then it depends how you define wynn and boyd’s roles

 

Season 6 was such a nice rebound after season 5

 

Boyd had been there since the beginning, and Duffy was pretty close too.

One of the big problems that shows with high death counts have is finding a way to organically replace characters. Dewey Crowe's extended family is a big negative example of that, with the only real narrative thread being a throwaway line from Givens in the first season.

Quarles is an interesting example because he sticks out immediately but his character is designed to stick out in that way. Even though the Bennett's are not even mentioned in the first season and you are led to believe that Boyd's father ran everything, they still feel very real and as if they had always been there. A lot of other shows could learn from that sort of world building, especially after a first season where it was mostly a series of unconnected encounters with criminals until the very end with Boyd's father.

 

i know. i was saying they were villains that felt organically developed haha. the biggest argument against is calling both strictly speaking villains

 

What?!

 

Whoa

 

hell ya

 

lets go

 

Hopefully the boss doesn't come back, given his political activities lately.

 

huh.

 

Disappointing. I really like his character - thanks for clarifying.

 

oh my god. oh hell yeah.

 

also other tweets showed it’s set in detroit. i’d imagine raylan is in a new field office, so new boss/crew?

 

I need Tim and Rachel to come back for this.

 

Holy shit fuck yes

 

I got excited when I saw it, then I remembered there's no way Boyd can be in it and got sad.

 

Why not? Raylan could visit him

 

I guess. Would kind of ruin the way that they leave his relationship with Raylan.

 

They dug coal together.

 

Searcy was actively tweeting fucked up stuff while the show was on. Not an essential character anyways imo

But fuck yeah, I’ll take some more Justified

Some general plot spoilers if you’re interested. Apparently it’s an adaptation of a book but they’re plugging in Raylan for the main character lol

 

I’m fine with that. Plug him in anywhere. It’ll work.
