I knew I'd seen him somewhere! Lmao I couldn't place him, seriously. I came looking for 'this and that are unrealistic' comments but this one is even better.
I appreciated how they set it up with Raylan seeing the hand wounds etc... the other times Fletcher did it, so he could piece together what happened and it wasn't an unrealistic "that's just how good he is in the moment".
Its kind of funny, Timothy Oliphant audition for the role of Iron Man but did not get it and then ended up in this gem of a show. I cannot imagine Iron Man without RDJ or justified without TO. Somethings are just meant to be.
I heard Timothy Oliphant say in an interview that part of the motivation all the actors had to do a great job was because they loved the books that this show was based on. They also loved the writer Elmore Leonard who was a consultant on the show. Sadly, Leonard died before the end of the series but it appeared to give the actors even greater motivation to do right by him. I believe they delivered the goods as this was one of the best shows ever produced.
I scrolled the comment's looking for an Elmore Leonard post before I did the same...google his name and imdb to see all the movies and shows based on his books. Even better just read the books which are better than the scripts that spawned the media.
The writers had silicone wristbands with "WWELD?" - What Would Elmore Leonard Do? - printed on them to motivate them. They stopped wearing them when Olyphant pointed out that Leonard wouldn't wear a silicone wristband with "WWELD?" printed on it.
My favorite confrontation that DIDN'T end in a gunfight was when Hot Rod asked Raylan, "Did you learn nothing from him (Arlo)?" Raylan replies with a great story ending with, "I'll kill four of you before you even clear your weapons...and you see this star? That's gonna make it legal." Hot Rod backed off.
One of the best scenes in the series in my opinion. Louis lamour once said that a gun in the holster is always a threat , a lot of times a man with a reputation could keep the peace without ever drawing a gun when he could use the gun and the other men knew that he could and would use it . This is the best western in a long time and it’s sad that they chose to end it when they did .
The late actor who played Hot Rod was originally a drummer. When Bob Dylan toured the UK with The Band, Levon Helm did not tour so Hot Rod stood in for him. The famous booing and the call of ‘Judas’ in Manchester and Dylan’s reply ‘play it loud’
that was a good scene yes. Another was the time he confronted the guy who lived in an RV with his bodyguard. He threw a bullet at him and said... the next one will be coming a lot faster
What I think he meant they were not moustache twirling villains. For sure they were bad and they were put down appropriately so, but they felt like real people, not villains of the week.
Right, it kind of shows you how people get stuck in the spiral of committing crime, the factors that go into what makes a criminal. Not so raw as The Wire or something, but it has more texture than other cable cop shows. That’s why the small town setup is so perfect, we’re put in Raylan’s shoes in the sense that he knows these people as people first, outlaws second.
Honorable mention is when Raylan shoves Wynn Duffy to the floor of his motor home and throws a bullet at his chest, and says "Next one's coming faster". Purely badass moment :)
one my favorite parts in this series was the scene with the hitman pretending to be a city cop taking boyd into custody. it's really the one time that boyd was caught completely off guard by gunfire. as shrewd as his character was, he had no idea that he was in mortal danger.
@@convarHUN yeah, right around 17:40 when it breaks off boyd screams in total shock and the look on his face next to raylan. he has no idea what the hell just happened. it hasn't even occurred to him that he was about to be killed.
It seems I never gave Timmy O. enough credit for his acting chops. He played Raylan so perfectly I just couldn't see anyone else playing the part ever. He was brilliant here.
@@DRCRS0 well...that is why they act right??? To gain a fan base? To get paid big money? Just making it known that T.O. has done just that in bringing this old graphic novel to TV...he won a fan.
fr... that's even one of the fine prop details about the show I adore in how he physically holds the phone on these calls. You can palpably witness the way that Raylan truly feels the weight of his slim smartphone in his hand.
I was sorta aware of this show when it first run, but never put the time in to watch it. Then it was streaming, but wasn't sure i wanted to invest the time. Boy, am I glad i finally got around to watching the first season, ended up binging the whole series. One of the best written and directed ever, quality remained steady throughout the run, and the actors were spot on for the characters they played .I hope the sequel is as well put together, something that's hard to do.
One of the details I love is no magical between the eyes shots. He does what real pistol shooters are taught aim for the middle and it's also normally a bit around the 0 zone but not dead center. He isn't playing around. He is shooting fast and effectively.
@@farstrider4592Thankfully, Raylan wears his hat comfortably atop the head, not smooshing in flat in the skull like most do. That probably helped him live too.
If you watch that final showdown Raylan v Boone and take it frame by frame you can see very detailed GSR patterns that perfectly match what happened. And the actual clear AND pulls by both are literally frame by frame in sync. crazy stuff although I think Raylan actually gets a double tap off.
I like how Raylan, wisely, DOESN'T drink the shot bartender gave him...as he knows he's about to kill someone on duty and doesn't need the whiskey being a contributing factor.
"Slow is smooth, smooth is fast." I also believe that several gunslingers--one famous Texas Ranger, especially--lived by the maxim that it is the fast *accurate* shot that wins the fight.
It's hard to imagine this show would have gone anywhere without Walton Goggins, Boyd was originally supposed to be killed off in the first episode. Timothy was great in it, but the dynamic between Boyd and Raylan made this show.
Sometimes I wonder if all the smiling and chuckling was scripted or improvised. I especially like the exchange where Raylan tells Boone (already smiling from the purple/blue balls line) "you stay where I can see you" and Sam Elliot smiles and laughs.
"Geeez, I hope I got that right......" These are some of the best gunfight scenes in film or TV. Everything works: acting, writing, editing, directing.
In case anyone hasn't heard about the 21 foot rule - it's that someone with a knife can cover 21 feet and stab you before you can draw a gun and shoot them. It's based on actual studies and is used in law enforcement to justify shooting someone with a knife that is within 21 feet - in essence, you are justified to shoot them even if they aren't attacking you at the moment because within 21 feet if they have knife in their hand, they can get to you before you can respond and so you don't have to wait for them to actually attack.
@@JBliehall Sgt Dennis Tueller originated the drill Sir, you may be thinking of Evan Marshall of Detroit, a contemporary who did extensive Ballistic Stopping Power.
Correct Sir. (references the scene at 19:35 above) Still taught to this day, although some extend it to 28 feet in the same amount of time in Training., to lend an even greater sense of urgency. It is the Tueller Drilll, originated by Sgt Dennis Tueller of the Salt Lake City Utah Police Dept. In Training, it is often simulated using an inert replica firearm and a rubber knife. (TIP - when the environment permits, an effective counter is both response and movement, moving laterally to buy you more time and throw off your attacker). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tueller_Drill
Most cops dont keep their guns holstered and wait for the draw though. You have to be pretty quick on your feet to cover 21 feet when facing someone with finger on the trigger.
Bonus Tim. I always liked how Tim was known to be a superior shooter to Raylan but Raylan was also top tier and was better equipped for a long range of situations. He disarmed his opponents and beat them without firing sometimes and sometimes got into big shootouts against multiple gun thugs or he had these quick draw moments when he essentially had duels with the gun thugs after assessing the situation thoroughly.
@@TheMisanthropeLives Except he was an idiot, he let his pride beat him. Headshots only, like a clown. EDIT(6 months later): I have just now realised that I magically managed to confuse Tim Gutterson the ranger with Boon. WHAT.
Yeah Boone talked yards & yards of bullshit but wasn't faster than Raylan. And I hated his stupid hat. Not even remotely cool like Raylan's hat. But yeah Boone was definitely strongly hate-able.
there's shootings there that are missing, like the scene where the elevator door opens with someone drawing a bead on him & his wife & Raylan blows him away instantly...
That's weird. Must be because Raylan's shootings are so cool. You think it's happening all the time. You look forward to it. Then again, 28 minutes is a long time I suppose?
21:23 Tim's delivery on the "... I do." Is so good. It sells such a movie-style line as something natural and grounded, something a person like Raylan would actually say. In spite of the situation... he really does like that hat.
Timothy Oliphant did basically the same character in the TV series Deadwood. Nothing like him walking straight at the camera with that intent look in his eyes. Love it.
@@chrisbolducrowan5110 Raylan is equally angry, but he's not a society where he can exercise that anger at the drop of a hat, consequence free. He admires the old law men and has a longing to do things their way: to immediately execute justice on the spot, but he's not in a place where he can do that (consequence free anyway). There's a fairly big character moment at the end of the show where Winona, who has frequently referred to Raylan as the "most angry man i've ever known" and then at the end refers to him as the "the most stubborn man i've ever known". Raylan isn't calm for most the series, he's just controlled, but his anger burns as equally bright as Bullocks. Also becuase if Raylan's anger was as uncontrolled as Bullocks was, we wouldn't have gotten as many great scenes with him Boyd. The Deadwood writers remarked at one point that one of the hardest parts of writing the show was that there was basically no way that Bullock and Swearengin could have a conversation that didn't come to blows. (this is why season 2 opened with them having a conversation that culminated in them beating each other in the street)
For anyone who doesnt know the 21 feet reel is a concept taught to law enforcement that a subject with a knife or melee weapon can close a distance of 21 feet or less before an officer can react, draw from the holster, and get effective shots on target. Basically if someone rushes you from 21 feet or closer they will reach you before you can shoot them.
Even funnier--you can see Raylan already has his gun drawn for a hip shot by the time Dewey fell into that hole, so he wouldn't have made it to knife range anyway.

The 21 foot rule doesn’t work on raylan because he’s literally battle hardened he doesn’t freeze up he’s not surprised he’s cool and calculated I’ve watched the 21 foot rule turn into 28 feet because of the loss of fine motor skills when your adrenaline rush kicks in best thing to do in that situation is create distance till you can get the gun in the fight or just run
I think he's more like a modern man with no name rather than sabata. If spaghetti western was still a thing, I have no doubt Timothy olyphant would be the successor to Clint Eastwood
The hurt in his eyes when he shot Boyd was real. That’s loyalty. Something we don’t understand these days, Boyd was bad but he worked a very dangerous job with him. There is conflict there that is real.
@@TheOneTheyLove2Hate-qz9qg There are good cops and bad ones. I have interacted with both. When I mean interacted, I don't mean just chitchatted with them.
The tablecloth, I love that scene. Winona looking at the two like they're nuts. The bad guy, so sure of himself that he risks his silly little game and getting shot by Raylan who just made up his own rules.
in the 4:40 mark to the 4:48 mark. Watch Raylan's concern for Eva/himself, weapon's discharge, re-holster, then care for Boyd while re-holstering his weapon. The ultimate fuck around and find out was played out when Boyd said "you did it huh? You really did it. He did it!" Raylan was like. "I'm sorry. You called it." Raylan always agrees to the terms or he makes the terms. Another thing. This opening scene and the final scene of this series with Boyd really explain their relationship. Such a damn good show.
There is also the one where the two redncecks pull their guns in front of Raylan and aim them at each other, arguing about who is going to sell out who to the marshal first. Raylan tries to get them both to lower their guns and they end up shooting each other in front of him. One of my favorite scenes.
The Cowboy at 23:50 reminded me of Val Kilmer's Doc Holiday in Tombstone: similar mannerisms including left hand gestures. I waited for: 'I am your Huckleberry.'
Raylan Givens is one of TVs greatest characters ever created!!! Justified needs to be made into a movie and utilize this great character that no one but Timothy Olyphant can play.
Raylan has the best one liners after shooting people. I'm sorry about your table cloth. This is Marshall Givens I need an ambulance and a coroner. I can't believe it either. Jesus, I hope I got that right.
@@destroyerarmor2846 That nonsense only applies to guns on modern locked holsters. Raylan has a little leather flap doesn't mean nothin holding his down.
Only "neo-Western" in the last decade to compare to this show is *Yellowstone.* But even then, I think *Justified* easily takes the cake. Absolutely cannot top the characters in this show, and nothing will ever come close to the rivalry of Raylan & Boyd! My only nitpicks about this series was waiting til Season 6 to finally utilize Jacob Pitts as Tim Gutterson, and the awful choice of making the Crowe family the "villains" of Season 5. Season 5 definitely pales in quality to the rest of the series because of that.
I know I'm in the minority, but I kind of liked Season 5. But I'm really commenting to point out that Tim had a GREAT arc all through S4 but especially opposite Colton.
@@kjeredmayer I still liked Season 5, but there's no denying it is far inferior to the rest of the series. What was done with Ava really threw the whole thing off, and Raylan's character almost took a back seat in his own show! However, they more than made up for it with Season 6...Season 6 was absolutely phenomenal! Yeah, Tim had a decent story arc in Season 4, but I still think his character was underused.
@Raylan Givens Yep, couldn't agree more, especially how the season has some really great scenes scattered throughout it. I honestly think what dragged S5 down the most was Daryl Crowe. His like an even more obnoxious and stupid version of Dominic Toretto with all his "family" talk. If his character was written to be more calm, cool, and cunning, that would've helped the season much more.
Dayummm I haven’t scene the other dude in the first scene since ‘The Mask’. Looks like he just came out of rehab unless he’s playing that type of character then all cool. But yeah haven’t seen him in agesssss.
Without a doubt Raylan Givens is the coolest dude to ever Grace the small screen! They just don’t make shows like this anymore. Boyd is also the best arch enemy ever. I’m praying they bring him back in the new series this summer. It wouldn’t be justified it they didn’t…
Best one is the ice pick guy the way raylan outsmarts him throughout the episode, first it starts by raylan not looking at his file and not recognizing him, then he understands the game he plays and out wits him.
Man, Timothy Olyphant has all the traits of being a famous celebrity that's constantly cast as the lead in everything. Either his agent is dumb, or he just doesn't want the spotlight, because I'd figure him to be in a lot more productions.

My favorite was the one with the table cloth. That was so clever, and done so smoothly.
The character was from another Elmore Leonard book, Glitz. This series stayed very true to the way Leonard wrote. Dialogue is king in his books.
Deserves an Oscar for that haha
I remember the first go through of this show I was like oh man how's raylan gonna get out of this one? And then BOOM

Best scene in the series. No hesitation. Just says "Jesus, I hope I got that right." in the end.

You can say that the casting was, 'Justified!'
"I can't believe you shot me!"
Raylon being genuinely surprised: "I can't believe it either."
The fact that there was enough pistol duels to do a 30 minute video is amazing.
After the first two or three shows, Tim Oliphant objected to his character being so bloodthirsty and told them to tone it down or he'd walk.

Most cops dont keep their guns holstered and wait for the draw though. You have to be pretty quick on your feet to cover 21 feet when facing someone with finger on the trigger.
This was Tim’s best role, and one of the best shows of my time.
Deadwood is his best role.
@@rvhill69 His character in Deadwood doesn't really make sense.
Ditto
Bonus Tim. I always liked how Tim was known to be a superior shooter to Raylan but Raylan was also top tier and was better equipped for a long range of situations. He disarmed his opponents and beat them without firing sometimes and sometimes got into big shootouts against multiple gun thugs or he had these quick draw moments when he essentially had duels with the gun thugs after assessing the situation thoroughly.
Gun thug lmao.
Raylan would give you a fair chance. Tim was scary. Once the decision was made, you were going down.
Tim was the better sniper. Raylan was the better quick draw gun fighter.
Agree... Tim was more all around knowledgeable and experienced with firearms. Id call him a firearms expert.
Raylan was the Quickdraw master.
@@TheMisanthropeLives Except he was an idiot, he let his pride beat him. Headshots only, like a clown.
EDIT(6 months later): I have just now realised that I magically managed to confuse Tim Gutterson the ranger with Boon. WHAT.
Timothy Oliphant is one of the most underrated actors ever.
He is a legend.
👍💯
He did great in Hitman and pretty good bad guy in Die hard 4.
There's always that one character that you want to see get it more than anyone... and Boone was that character.
Fletcher Nix a close second
Yeah Boone talked yards & yards of bullshit but wasn't faster than Raylan. And I hated his stupid hat. Not even remotely cool like Raylan's hat. But yeah Boone was definitely strongly hate-able.
I'm a little surprised that all the duels in this show *only* amount to 28 minutes.
Specifically involving Raylan though
there's shootings there that are missing, like the scene where the elevator door opens with someone drawing a bead on him & his wife & Raylan blows him away instantly...
That's weird. Must be because Raylan's shootings are so cool. You think it's happening all the time. You look forward to it. Then again, 28 minutes is a long time I suppose?
This is just duels, not gunfights.
There are more, and more gun fights.
21:23 Tim's delivery on the "... I do." Is so good. It sells such a movie-style line as something natural and grounded, something a person like Raylan would actually say. In spite of the situation... he really does like that hat.
Pulling that tablecloth was a clever move!
“Sorry about your table cloth”😂 ice cold
“You’re still on the guest list.” Priceless.
Timothy Oliphant did basically the same character in the TV series Deadwood. Nothing like him walking straight at the camera with that intent look in his eyes. Love it.
Bullock was utterly volatile, where Givens is the picture of calm. Both great characters though.
@@chrisbolducrowan5110 Raylan is equally angry, but he's not a society where he can exercise that anger at the drop of a hat, consequence free. He admires the old law men and has a longing to do things their way: to immediately execute justice on the spot, but he's not in a place where he can do that (consequence free anyway). There's a fairly big character moment at the end of the show where Winona, who has frequently referred to Raylan as the "most angry man i've ever known" and then at the end refers to him as the "the most stubborn man i've ever known". Raylan isn't calm for most the series, he's just controlled, but his anger burns as equally bright as Bullocks.
Also becuase if Raylan's anger was as uncontrolled as Bullocks was, we wouldn't have gotten as many great scenes with him Boyd. The Deadwood writers remarked at one point that one of the hardest parts of writing the show was that there was basically no way that Bullock and Swearengin could have a conversation that didn't come to blows. (this is why season 2 opened with them having a conversation that culminated in them beating each other in the street)
Oh hell, my favorite show in a couple decades. Everything about it.
Yeah it’s ridiculously cool
“This is Deputy Marshal Raylan Givens; I’m gonna need an ambulance…and a coroner.” I wonder how often the dispatcher heard that line. 💀
This show was just legendary! They don't make em' like this anymore.
Yeah they do
"You ain't gonna shoot me"
BANG
"Oh..."
This was the best show on TV. Nothing that’s been on since has been as good.
I'm glad you included Tim's shootout.
The Marshal must have The Coroner’s office on speed dial.
“I might need an ambulance” he says, as the bad guys lie there bleeding to death.
Well to be fair you don't need an ambulance for a dead man, just a coroner.
"Sorry about your table cloth."
That was beautiful!
For anyone who doesnt know the 21 feet reel is a concept taught to law enforcement that a subject with a knife or melee weapon can close a distance of 21 feet or less before an officer can react, draw from the holster, and get effective shots on target. Basically if someone rushes you from 21 feet or closer they will reach you before you can shoot them.
Donut Operator talks about it on one of his videos.
Even funnier--you can see Raylan already has his gun drawn for a hip shot by the time Dewey fell into that hole, so he wouldn't have made it to knife range anyway.
(references the scene at 19:35 above)
Still taught to this day, although some extend it to 28 feet in the same amount of time in Training., to lend an even greater sense of urgency.
It is the Tueller Drilll, originated by Sgt Dennis Tueller of the Salt Lake City Utah Police Dept.
In Training, it is often simulated using an inert replica firearm and a rubber knife.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tueller_Drill
@@jharrison3873 the guy might still get a knife into him after being shot that's why this is so dangerous
The 21 foot rule doesn’t work on raylan because he’s literally battle hardened he doesn’t freeze up he’s not surprised he’s cool and calculated I’ve watched the 21 foot rule turn into 28 feet because of the loss of fine motor skills when your adrenaline rush kicks in best thing to do in that situation is create distance till you can get the gun in the fight or just run
To me, Timothy Olyphant in this show is like a modern day version of Lee Van Cleef.
I think he's more like a modern man with no name rather than sabata.
If spaghetti western was still a thing, I have no doubt Timothy olyphant would be the successor to Clint Eastwood
@@dchegu Have you seen RANGO?
"God damn woman you only shoot people when they're eating, supper?"
Lol. Love Walton Goggins.
The hurt in his eyes when he shot Boyd was real. That’s loyalty. Something we don’t understand these days, Boyd was bad but he worked a very dangerous job with him. There is conflict there that is real.
No, once your friend becomes a cop there is no friendship
Because we dug coal together!
That shows you that once they turn to cops they get big headed and two faced even to their own wives
@@TheOneTheyLove2Hate-qz9qg There are good cops and bad ones. I have interacted with both. When I mean interacted, I don't mean just chitchatted with them.
@destroyerarmor2846 I guess using your logic, once anyone becomes a criminal, jaywalking or child exploitation, they're the same huh?
No idea how Boyd survived that, but I’m glad he did.
Youd be amazed how close to the heart you can hit without dying.
He was supposed to die in the pilot but he was so well liked they rewrote the show to include him
It was a plot point - afterwards Walt, his boss, insinuates he missed the heart on purpose.
He was supposed to be killed off but people responded very well to him.
Both the test audience and the studio executives love Boyd and his actor Walter. Thus by the power of the plot armor retcon, Boyd became a legend.
The tablecloth, I love that scene. Winona looking at the two like they're nuts. The bad guy, so sure of himself that he risks his silly little game and getting shot by Raylan who just made up his own rules.
in the 4:40 mark to the 4:48 mark. Watch Raylan's concern for Eva/himself, weapon's discharge, re-holster, then care for Boyd while re-holstering his weapon. The ultimate fuck around and find out was played out when Boyd said "you did it huh? You really did it. He did it!"
Raylan was like. "I'm sorry. You called it."
Raylan always agrees to the terms or he makes the terms.
Another thing. This opening scene and the final scene of this series with Boyd really explain their relationship.
Such a damn good show.
"We dug coal together".
I just watched 10 secs of this video, made me watch the whole thing I’m almost done season 1 :3
Don't think so.
Nice
That last duel was the best gun fight in the entire series, and the fact he takes his hat is so cold
“Fire in the Hole”, the short story Justified was based on, ends with Boyd Crowder dying at that dinner table.
Boyd was suppose to die at the end of season 1, but the viewers liked him so much that he got to live
@@rickcleveland5326 I thought he was supposed to die in the pilot
Even the author thought this show was better.
I just bought that book a week ago :(
I binged watched the entire series twice.
There is also the one where the two redncecks pull their guns in front of Raylan and aim them at each other, arguing about who is going to sell out who to the marshal first. Raylan tries to get them both to lower their guns and they end up shooting each other in front of him. One of my favorite scenes.
Which episode was that?
@@kidz4p509 s03e03
The Cowboy at 23:50 reminded me of Val Kilmer's Doc Holiday in Tombstone: similar mannerisms including left hand gestures. I waited for: 'I am your Huckleberry.'
Raylan Givens is one of TVs greatest characters ever created!!! Justified needs to be made into a movie and utilize this great character that no one but Timothy Olyphant can play.
You don’t wanna over do it.
Nope. Show ran and ended perfectly. Leave it alone.
@@jjbobson3671 they're making a new series lol
@@nigeldean3726 when is it coming out?
Raylan Givens is a literary character.
Great video. Thanks for putting this together and sharing it. I enjoyed every minute. Loved that show !
God Bless.
Raylan has the best one liners after shooting people. I'm sorry about your table cloth. This is Marshall Givens I need an ambulance and a coroner. I can't believe it either. Jesus, I hope I got that right.
Raylan actually almost flubbed his draw against Danny and the 21 foot rule
21 foot is real if it wasn't that hole
@@destroyerarmor2846 Raylan would have demolished him if that hole wasn't there you know that.
@@destroyerarmor2846 - That rule doesn't really work if you know it's coming.
If you get caught flat footed though, you're generally screwed.
He was still considering whether or not to kill the fool. He had all day.
@@destroyerarmor2846 That nonsense only applies to guns on modern locked holsters. Raylan has a little leather flap doesn't mean nothin holding his down.
I think I'm going to have to rewatch the entire series
Raylan Givens is the 'John Wick' of Kentucky.
I am surprised the ambulance isn’t following him around wherever he goes.
Gotta love how both this and the show begin with the same exact first scene
The guy falling in the hole with the knife got me!!!
The only thing that could make Raylan any more badass would be to give him Boba Fetts armor....
....🤔
Or a more unique gun. Seriously...a Glock? How basic can you get?
@@djlu3011 The Marshall is a simple man.
Nah. Boba Fett is his own character. Don't mix them.
@@djlu3011 most law enforcement carry glocks.
@@SirDistic it was a joke, Timmy O plays Cobb vanth in mandalorian and he has bobas armor for a bit
15:50 always impressed me because for a one handed pull and shoot, with a “.45” Glock, he has impressive control
It's fiction you moron.
I thought Raylan carried a Sig.
Those .45 pistols can be a handful. I tried to master one - Springfield Armory 1911-a1 - and even handloaded down, it was a bit (too) much for me.
@@Xinder720 He did in the pilot episode but switched to a Glock after.
Only "neo-Western" in the last decade to compare to this show is *Yellowstone.* But even then, I think *Justified* easily takes the cake. Absolutely cannot top the characters in this show, and nothing will ever come close to the rivalry of Raylan & Boyd! My only nitpicks about this series was waiting til Season 6 to finally utilize Jacob Pitts as Tim Gutterson, and the awful choice of making the Crowe family the "villains" of Season 5. Season 5 definitely pales in quality to the rest of the series because of that.
I know I'm in the minority, but I kind of liked Season 5. But I'm really commenting to point out that Tim had a GREAT arc all through S4 but especially opposite Colton.
@@kjeredmayer I still liked Season 5, but there's no denying it is far inferior to the rest of the series. What was done with Ava really threw the whole thing off, and Raylan's character almost took a back seat in his own show! However, they more than made up for it with Season 6...Season 6 was absolutely phenomenal!
Yeah, Tim had a decent story arc in Season 4, but I still think his character was underused.
@Raylan Givens Yep, couldn't agree more, especially how the season has some really great scenes scattered throughout it. I honestly think what dragged S5 down the most was Daryl Crowe. His like an even more obnoxious and stupid version of Dominic Toretto with all his "family" talk. If his character was written to be more calm, cool, and cunning, that would've helped the season much more.
Dont forget Longmire.I saw Longmire first and was recommended Justified after as a similar show.
Nothing has reached it's level.
I've tried Yellowstone, Longmire and Ozark but none reach the charm of Justified.
Currently watching Deadwood. Just from the 7 episodes I’ve watched so far, I can understand why Timothy was chosen for Raylan.
Deadwood - greatest show ever. Period. And I loved Justified, but Deadwood was simply the best.
Dayummm I haven’t scene the other dude in the first scene since ‘The Mask’. Looks like he just came out of rehab unless he’s playing that type of character then all cool. But yeah haven’t seen him in agesssss.
Without a doubt Raylan Givens is the coolest dude to ever Grace the small screen! They just don’t make shows like this anymore. Boyd is also the best arch enemy ever. I’m praying they bring him back in the new series this summer. It wouldn’t be justified it they didn’t…
Best one is the ice pick guy the way raylan outsmarts him throughout the episode, first it starts by raylan not looking at his file and not recognizing him, then he understands the game he plays and out wits him.
Chuck Norris wants to be Raylen Givens when he grows up.
😂
Holey Moley!
Sir or Madam!!
That was a brilliant reverse comment. Good on you!
One of the best shows ever, I can pop on a episode anytime and be satisfied 😂 😂
Man, Timothy Olyphant has all the traits of being a famous celebrity that's constantly cast as the lead in everything. Either his agent is dumb, or he just doesn't want the spotlight, because I'd figure him to be in a lot more productions.
Didn't he audition for Iron Man?
@@AlanMichaelJackson I think so. I could see him being another great Tony Stark!
First time seeing Tim was in Go, was great then, great as Sheriff Bullock, and is damn good still.
I mean he's involved in a lot of major series, his agent is definitely ain't that dumb.
quality over quantity my man
I could watch these scenes over and over..very entertaining!!
Best characters and best lines of any show-ever!
Best series ever
Yeppp :)
Thank you for making this loved Justified.
Boyd's teeth are way too perfect for a backwoods hooligan 😅😅😅
I'm sorry about your table cloth 😂😂
Table cloth one of the best ever scenes
20:20 - I think this is _the very best scene_ in the entirety of the Justified Universe. It is just priceless.
It's such an Elmore Leonard scene.
I find it funny how everyone who threatens people with a gun are always surprised when they get shot 😅
If you ever fought before, even fully in the moment you can just get caught by surprise even if its infront of ur face
Raylan was one of those that if he drew that gun, you were already dead. 17:33 is a perfect example.
That was my favorite gunfight in the whole series, and "Jeesus, I hope I got that right" one of my favorite lines.
“I swear to God, I didn’t see it either.” 😂😂😂😂😂
this show is top tier. pretty sure tim was made in a lab to play this part too lol.
19:11 my favorite Raylan duel in the whole show and he didnt even shoot him LOL
I full on LOLed when I saw that one first.
remember consensual/consexual
Great compilation. Some real good setup scenes too. Well done mate.
