Justified – A TV Series Review – Part 2 – Season 1<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks to the magic of Netflix\u2019 DVD service, I and Mrs. Photog (aka Camera Girl) have been burning through Justified at a goodly clip.\u00a0 We finished Season 2 last Friday and are now barreling along through Season 3 like a meth-head racing to a pawn shop with an ill-gotten Rolex.\u00a0 But that\u2019s a story for another post.\u00a0 Right now, I\u2019m reporting on Season 2 and I\u2019m happy to report that it lives up to Season 1 and maybe even surpasses it too.\u00a0 In Season 1 we met Raylin Givens and his kin and spent the season getting to know the Crowder clan.\u00a0 That was fun.<\/p>\n

In Season 2 we meet the Bennetts.\u00a0 The matriarch is Mags Bennett and she has three sons.\u00a0 One of them is the sheriff of Bennett, Kentucky.\u00a0 The other two help Mags run the Bennett store and their thriving weed business.\u00a0 It goes without saying that Raylin has history with the Bennetts and the season builds up to a climactic encounter.\u00a0 Along the way Ray becomes more formally involved with his ex-wife Wynona and Ava becomes Boyd\u2019s girl.\u00a0 Many sub-plots involve all manner of exciting and amusing scenes.\u00a0 Probably the outright funniest is Ray\u2019s boss Art trying to apprehend a geriatric outlaw trying to escape onto a private plane at the airport.\u00a0 Having reached a certain maturity myself I could see the humor of two old men in a foot race that neither can possibly finish.\u00a0 By the finish both are gasping on the ground recovering their breath for the slow stroll back to Art\u2019s waiting car.<\/p>\n

Just as an aside, a recurring role, Loretta, is played by 14 year old Kaitlyn Dever, who played youngest daughter Eve to Tim Allen on \u201cLast Man Standing,\u201d another show that I enjoyed until its recent untimely cancellation by social justice network jerks.<\/p>\n

Justified is fast becoming my favorite series of all time.\u00a0 And that is saying something.\u00a0 I\u2019ll always have a soft spot for Firefly but if Justified can continue to be as good as it\u2019s been for another season or so I don\u2019t rightly see how I can deny it a place of preference if for no other reason than more hours of enjoyment.\u00a0 It\u2019s really a show that does not disappoint.\u00a0 I know I\u2019m beginning to sound like a paid shill for the network that produced the show but I must say I highly recommend it to anyone who likes crime drama with a heapin\u2019 helpin\u2019 of humor thrown in on top.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for Season 3.\u00a0 It\u2019s already looking very good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
