The guy with the shotgun is one of the ultimate "that guy" actors. He's always great, and you know the industry knows he's great because he's always working, but he isn't really famous for anything but turning in solid performances and helping good actors be better.
If you're wondering why he didn't kill Raylan, there's a big difference between a local investigation into a gas station robbery and having the full wrath of the federal government coming down on you for killing a US Marshal. That, and the impenetrable plot armor.
I liked that. I mean, in the Wire the criminals get really depressed at how much they've fucked up by shooting an undercover Baltimore city police officer. I imagine fatally shooting a federal Marshall brings down a whole different level of shitstorm on your head.
Cooper never kills anyone, he knocks out the security guard instead of killing him, he scares price off instead of killing him, he leaves Raylan at the gas station instead of killing him, he cuts dupree in instead of killing him. Dude just ain't a killer.
@@TerrorDino Exactly! From a "this guy needs to be recaptured" scenerio to a "roving killer needs taking out ASAP, which way longer matters". As an escaped prisoner, which situation would you rather be in; the one where you know law enforcement knows you tied up a federal marshall, or the one where it knows you executed one?
@@charliehorse1967 Right??? Personally I think Art, Raylan's boss perfects the Louisville/Lexington KY vibe. He comes off like people I've worked for/with. I feel like most actors, especially English actors do Texas, then maybe Alabama
It's so satisfying to see a realistic scene like that in a series, any of other nowadays series/movies he would had probably done a back flip, kick the shotgun out of his hands and killed him with a t-shirt or something
@@vb8428 I feel like bank robbers don't usually try to kill law enforcement if they can help it. Especially when you've been out of the game as long as this guy has. It may not be accurate to reality as a whole, but it makes sense in this context.
If it was made today the lead would be a 5'6" 110lb. female and she would be taking down 225lb. men in two moves. Also, her male partner would be incompetent.
This is exactly what I love about the series, even if he's such a badass with the fastest draw, they still make Raylan human and no Gary Stu. This is a good example of wise situational awareness - he knew he couldn't survive a shotgun blast at close range and did the sensible thing by not fighting back. Such a brilliant show
Yeah, but Walker Texas Ranger would have just stared and glared at the criminal so hard, that the thug would have just given up and dropped his gun and let Walker arrest him. And it would have been totally realistic because Walker Texas Ranger is a true story about Chuck Norris when he was a Texas Ranger.
@@richardstorm4603 OK.....put the ganja stick down son....Norris was made an honorary Texas Ranger. Just a fancy plaque on the wall, not fighting bad guys.
The show avoided cliches because the writers always asked themselves, "what would Elmore Leonard do?" And if you've read any Leonard novels, you know what that means.
Best series ever! I'll never forget Raylon throwing a bullet at a bad guy who Raylon had just knocked down. After hitting him with that bullet he had thrown, he points the gun at him and tells him the next one will be coming at him a lot faster. Great great series!
Chris Ellis...what a great actor. He has been in so many smaller roles over the years but always does an amazing job. X-Files, Apollo 13, My Cousin Vinny, the list is almost endless. I really enjoyed Justified, might have to watch it again one of these days.
I love how in this rare instance Raylan didn't have the drop on someone, but it was in fact the opposite. And he wasn't able to shoot his way out either and had to comply. Rare occurrence in the show but awesome to see.
@@danunger3240 Because the super cop / ultimate badass thing gets tiring. It's funny to see that yes, in his business, Givens does sometimes lose and does get a bit humiliated. That's real life. It humanizes the character and gives a chance for one of those wonderful Elmore Leonard moments, two guys standing at gunpoint after a prison break discussion poor drumming.
I agree with you, I was lucky enough when a buddy of mine said to watch this and it was during the 1st season. WOW, best show I've seen and I've been around.
Justified is one of the best tv series I’ve ever watched. SO many one liners,. “ Wonderful things can happen when you plant seeds of doubt in a garden of assholes” Raylan Givens
Justified to me is one of the best TV shows of all time, if U like cop dramas. The writing was stellar, acting was even better and the dynamic between Raylan and Boyds characters was more than worth watching every week. Miss this show and its one of the only shows of this type I will go back and rewatch from time to time. Great show!
Those two were so polite to each other yet neither would lose a night's sleep if it came down to killing the other. Making Boyd's speech so eloquent and other times so sly that it kept me watching. The show had probably the best dialogue writers I've come across and they spread it around the whole cast.
I am a 67 year old English man that has had to put up with deteriorating uk programs , this show is superb , funny , sad , and thoroughly entertaining, so well written and acted . Thank you USA
Thank you, sir, and might I say there's a lot of great stuff from the U.K. as well. I love how in British comedies, a humorous occurrence in an episode/movie can be funny in its own right, but can actually be a setup for something even funnier later in the episode/movie. The IT Crowd, for example, does this very well, and that was a more recent show (2006-2013). Specifically, the episode called "The Haunting of Bill Crouse" comes to mind. It's a style I've seen employed more regularly in British comedies than in American ones. American comedies can have lots of great humor, but the jokes in an episode/movie may be more independent and don't necessarily build on each other or rely on each other to produce a snowball effect in the climax like British comedies often do.
One thing I always admired about this series, was it’s portrayal of southern situations, including not just the folk, but, their own poetic manner of deportment. I believe one might have had to been there to appreciate. Never been, you’ll never know, and, it’s probably too late, now. I HAVE to admire the work of whoever picked the names of characters. Masterful! Southern names, a thing, all by it’s own-self.
Check out some books by Elmore Leonard, he created the character of Raylan Givens, as well as many more in this series. His dialogue for the characters is often lifted straight from the pages of his novels.

Olyphant as Raylan is the greatest casting decision ever made on TV. I can imagine someone else playing Walter White or Dexter but Timothy Olyphant was born for this role.
Same thing with Walter Goggins as Boyd Crowder. I can't imagine else playing that role now that I've seen him do it. Maybe Jack Nicholson back when he was young?
Great show, I remember finding it by accident, immediately hooked. Great cast and guest stars. Don't know if Walton Goggins won an Emmy or two, but he should have. He owned that Boyd Crowder character.
Justified was excellent. I watched every episode from the first to the last. Raylan was so cool and laid back. No one ever shouted, they could saying they were going to cut your head off and flush it but they were so low key in doing it. I'd love to see reruns if they ever become available. All the characters were a trip.
I did know a girl who loved how I said "Courshado" (Of course you do). And I know the exact right amount of anything is "Addledo'er".(That'll do her) I have seen several posts during my binge watching tonight commenting on accents and wonder if any posters have been within a thousand miles of KY/WV.
Kentuckian here. You are correct. Douglas Cooper sounds just like anyone that I may meet on the street around here. It is not just his accent, it is his firm but courteous manners as well. I wish I could say that the brown hills around Santa Clarita California were as convincing in their portrayal of the green hills of Kentucky. Still a great show however. I miss it.
This scene sold the series to me and I binged it all on Prime. Completely normal gas station store, and the robbers are just two dudes with guns, one of whom gets the jump on the badass protagonist and.... he gets locked inside a storage room after a bunch of banter. No Hollywood shootout, no bullshit cliche oneliners or a dramatic hostage situation with a purdy 20-30 yo lady with no personality aside from whimpering.
Yeah, after the first episode showed how badass Raylan was, this showed him getting completely humbled. Locked in a gas station storeroom, wearing his own handcuffs, in the dark, with no wallet, badge, ID, gun, or hat. And yet, still a badass.
Any life lived to the fullest will be happily forfeit any day of any year..... no need to weep like a child if you face death on a good day to die, and for those of us that lead fulfilling lives, it is ALWAYS a good day to die..... Justified is only a good TV show, but the character has led an awesome and fulfilling life, no need for him to stop or have regrets while facing death because the life was worth it. The writers may have that figured out or not, but as someone who has lived on four continents, been to five, lived most of my life on my terms, been shot at, and walked outside smiling like a retard with a cupcake in each hand when rockets were falling from the sky, most of my adult days have been great days to die.... it just hasn’t happened yet. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe next month some time, until it does, I’m gonna continue having fun.
@@merthling no…. Spent a decade as a 19k (cause Patton is still the baddest mofo General in modern American history), all of my deployments were later in my career and in battalion or higher level roles…. Really enjoyed working at an Afghan Police station (OCC-P)…. but considering my “speech” I’ll take your question as a compliment….
@@Rick_Sanchez_C137_ your speech hits the nail on the head and I couldn’t say it any better. Ya know as a 20+ year 11b, we were raised to talk shit about every other mos but my son is a now a 19K plus after 4 deployments you learn that anyone putting steel or lead on the enemy is a friend, so thanks for your sentiments and for your service
the best part was when Art said so they stole your badge , guns, your car and of course your hat anything else i should know. the show was funny as hell. We dug coal together
@@clsiler9 Sir, I beg to differ. The traditional dividing line between the historic American north and “Dixie,” is the Mason-Dixon Line which separates Pennsylvania from Maryland. Current culture around these United States is far from homogeneous, even in a small town, but many long time sons of the south and daughters of the confederacy still reside in the great state of Kentucky. (Tell me you didn’t read that above statement in my very own dulcet Kentucky drawl).
He forgot the 2nd half of the drummer joke - How do you know when a drummer is at your door? The knock speeds up and when you open the door and say "come in", he says "You mean...um...like now?"
@@robertschilz8601 The same bass player locked his keys in the car. After trying for several hours, he finally decided to break the window to get the drummer out in time to play the show.
For those that missed this series, you missed the best program made in 50 year's, by my calendar ! I'm 66, and watched a lot of garbage over the year's ! This series was done right ! Such a shame when the Actors decided to bail, or so I've heard ? Catch some of the cast every now and again, and nothing I've seen them in, work's like this did ! Found myself going back and watching reruns, while suffering from "Justified " withdraw ! Top Notch, IMHO ! 👍😉
Rayland played his cards right in this instanes. Any true Kentucky boy raised on shotguns and hunting, especially fleeing from the Pen, probably had the skills, and will, to take Rayland's head off just as he described. The longer he played along, the longer he lived, plus tying in 'family' a person knows about, would make them just damn rude to kill him, and that's something good old boys even badly raised, know is not a right thing to do.
I love the small-town chit chatter of how this is exactly the way it be, if you have any roots in a place like that. I didn't even grow up in one place but I guess I visited family enough to get the card. Maybe it's just when you kinda miss somewhere, people just act like it more.
I’ve watched this show from the first to the last episode several times and I intend to do it again. It’s about the beat series I’ve ever seen, and I’m older than dirt.
Fun Fact: Despite being set in the south, this show was mainly filmed in Santa Clarita California, which is where tim olyphant played joel hammond in The Santa Clarita Diet. Olyphant also played a pimp in The Girl Next Door which was filmed in Santa Clarita. I think Olyphant likes it there.
And here we have a criminal who knows, that when he eventually gets caught, they're not gonna throw the book at him, because he treated the officer politely. Illegal, yes, but he was not being a dick.
This series waas a 10 out of 10 as far as I'm concerned. Excellent plot, acting, dialoque. BTW i heartily recommend any of Elmore leonard's books. They're always a fun read.
My only complaint about this show is it was not filmed in KY. When Raylan is in lexington and says I'm going to run down to Harlan I'll be back in a bit, lol.
When I saw the California hills that they said was Harlan County I had to quit watching it. I grew up in Bell County KY, not far from Harlan. I lived in Middlesboro, and none of the mountains around me had those dry, barren hill like on the show.

he def does good as a supporting actor
They are typically called character actors. :)
Chris Ellis is his name. Very good C.A. My cousin Vinny pool room scene, Apollo 13 played Deke Slayton, Crimson Tide.....and on ...
its called a character actor. my fav character actors are kevin bacon and william fitchner

If you're wondering why he didn't kill Raylan, there's a big difference between a local investigation into a gas station robbery and having the full wrath of the federal government coming down on you for killing a US Marshal.

As someone from Kentucky, I can't state enough how good of a performance the older convict is doing.

The dialogue in this show was awesome.
It's the only show I've seen that's set in the South where they got the accents right instead of having Alabama accents everywhere.

I hear Raylan is now a marshal in some mining town fighting giant sandworms on some distant planet.
I heard that too! :)
I forgot about that one too!!!!
With Kevin Bacon
He's got a type, don't he?
I am SO glad I'm not the only one who freaked out when they saw this!!
This is exactly what I love about the series, even if he's such a badass with the fastest draw, they still make Raylan human and no Gary Stu.
This is a good example of wise situational awareness - he knew he couldn't survive a shotgun blast at close range and did the sensible thing by not fighting back. Such a brilliant show
Takes a real keen mind to figure out that a shotgun could kill him. Props.
You can't outdraw Raylan. However you can punch him, I don' think he wins a single fistfight in the entire run.
@@reidflemingworldstoughestm1394 yes he would have been a star in the bronze age
Yeah, but Walker Texas Ranger would have just stared and glared at the criminal so hard, that the thug would have just given up and dropped his gun and let Walker arrest him.

You won't regret it
On a par with Breaking Bad and Sons of Anarchy
One of the best shows ever on TV. After 6 seasons it was still awesome!! Choo Choo
A Great Series!
It's on Hulu and/or Netflix.
The show avoided cliches because the writers always asked themselves, "what would Elmore Leonard do?" And if you've read any Leonard novels, you know what that means.
I haven’t. But I respect it. And, from the sounds of it, I really should read a few.
Best series ever! I'll never forget Raylon throwing a bullet at a bad guy who Raylon had just knocked down. After hitting him with that bullet he had thrown, he points the gun at him and tells him the next one will be coming at him a lot faster. Great great series!
Best threat in all of TV!
That was the coolest shit I've ever seen.
And in next episode they use that bullet to frame Raylan murder of hisof his ex-husband
Great. Now learn to spell his name!

Good example of not getting in a firefight when you don't have a shot.
IN REAL LIFE ==> HE DIES ==> and it's not so awesome for anyone.....
Raylan is awesome, but gets caught out, shot, and made stupid as well in the story a lot of times. Makes him a great character.
If you haven’t binged this show from front to back and back to front, you are legit missing out; best show I’ve seen in my life to this point
I’m watching season 1 now :3
I agree with you, I was lucky enough when a buddy of mine said to watch this and it was during the 1st season. WOW, best show I've seen and I've been around.

I still vote for Peaky Blinders.
you're not watching "Ozark"? It's the best!!
Justified is a thing of beauty and a joy forever.
Justified is one of the best tv series I’ve ever watched. SO many one liners,. “ Wonderful things can happen when you plant seeds of doubt in a garden of assholes” Raylan Givens
“Oh, that little _yag_ dude!
“He’s not _yag!”_
“Really, he’s not.”
“ Are you trying to tell me you’re _yag?_ “
Some well written dialogue in that series. Start to finish. And Oliphant is a strong lead.
“Arguing with a man who has renounced reason is like giving medicine to the dead.”
"Damn woman, you only shoot people when they are havin' dinner?"
ANd THAT is exactly what's happening about the cov jab. It's a jungle of assholes thinking all the bullshits seeds they see on the net.
Writing on this show was like poetry
The drummer joke never gets old!!!
They left out the second part of the answer, "and he doesn't know when to come in."
@@davidcurley7665 that one works for a soprano, too. “She doesn’t have her key and can’t tell when to come in.”

Miss this show and its one of the only shows of this type I will go back and rewatch from time to time. Great show!
Spot on. About the only other show I liked as much was Bosch. Justified and Bosch remain the two best cop shows I've ever seen.
Those two were so polite to each other yet neither would lose a night's sleep if it came down to killing the other. Making Boyd's speech so eloquent and other times so sly that it kept me watching. The show had probably the best dialogue writers I've come across and they spread it around the whole cast.
I always loved the banter in this show because the times when they do it well it can humanize even a criminal despite the stuff they've done.
I forgot how good this was
I never missed an episode.. Just a great show.
My man went from discovering The Oneders to holding up gas stations in Kentucky. What a sad fall for a man who was so full of heart and promise.

Seems a nice guy for an convict.
Just love the character played by Timothy Olyphant, a great Actor, wish there were more films and series with him in acting.

I wish I could say that the brown hills around Santa Clarita California were as convincing in their portrayal of the green hills of Kentucky. Still a great show however. I miss it.
This show was, is and always will be a 11 out of 10. Thanks Elmore!
I checked out this series on a recommendation and it was one of the best I have ever seen. Perfect ending as well.
MAN I REALLY MISS THIS SHOW!
This was a GREAT show
I have to say, these are the most intelligent posts I've ever seen on a UA-cam video, and all of them dead on. Made my day.
I love this show. Probably in my Top ten
If you share your top 10 I’ll share mine😁
it is most certainly the top ten anywhere
_As a professional drummer, I appreciated those shitty jokes._ 🥁🎶🤘🏽👍 *JUSTIFIED: One of the best TV Shows of All Time!*
#CancúnMéxico 🇲🇽🍹😘😷
THE GREATEST tv show in a hundred years!
Gosh!! I miss this show.
This scene sold the series to me and I binged it all on Prime. Completely normal gas station store, and the robbers are just two dudes with guns, one of whom gets the jump on the badass protagonist and.... he gets locked inside a storage room after a bunch of banter. No Hollywood shootout, no bullshit cliche oneliners or a dramatic hostage situation with a purdy 20-30 yo lady with no personality aside from whimpering.
Yeah, after the first episode showed how badass Raylan was, this showed him getting completely humbled. Locked in a gas station storeroom, wearing his own handcuffs, in the dark, with no wallet, badge, ID, gun, or hat.
And yet, still a badass.
@@VivaLaDnDLogs I think he was more upset about losing the hat, than anything else that went down.
@@Rick_1337 the hat is special.
What season and episode?
@@redneek24 Season 1 and one of the first 4 episoded. I think 2nd or 3rd.
This was an awesome series with an awesome cast. Loved this guy since Deadwood. Hope to see him in another series soon.
Justified is coming back.
God I miss Justified.
I always wanted to start watching Justified..It's been maybe 10 years now. Might be the time to start
IT'S COMING BACK BABY! A new Justified series! YES!
This dude is hands down ice!
Any life lived to the fullest will be happily forfeit any day of any year..... no need to weep like a child if you face death on a good day to die, and for those of us that lead fulfilling lives, it is ALWAYS a good day to die..... Justified is only a good TV show, but the character has led an awesome and fulfilling life, no need for him to stop or have regrets while facing death because the life was worth it. The writers may have that figured out or not, but as someone who has lived on four continents, been to five, lived most of my life on my terms, been shot at, and walked outside smiling like a retard with a cupcake in each hand when rockets were falling from the sky, most of my adult days have been great days to die.... it just hasn’t happened yet. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe next month some time, until it does, I’m gonna continue having fun.
Infantry?
@@merthling no…. Spent a decade as a 19k (cause Patton is still the baddest mofo General in modern American history), all of my deployments were later in my career and in battalion or higher level roles…. Really enjoyed working at an Afghan Police station (OCC-P)…. but considering my “speech” I’ll take your question as a compliment….
@@Rick_Sanchez_C137_ your speech hits the nail on the head and I couldn’t say it any better. Ya know as a 20+ year 11b, we were raised to talk shit about every other mos but my son is a now a 19K plus after 4 deployments you learn that anyone putting steel or lead on the enemy is a friend, so thanks for your sentiments and for your service
the best part was when Art said so they stole your badge , guns, your car and of course your hat
anything else i should know. the show was funny as hell. We dug coal together
Between this great show and Queen of the South, binge watching has never been better.
Justified. The best show there ever was and ever will be.
Justified was a pleasure to watch from beginning to end. A binge-worthy series if there ever was one...
The bad guy calls him sir...only down south!
KY is not in the South
@@clsiler9
Sir, I beg to differ. The traditional dividing line between the historic American north and “Dixie,” is the Mason-Dixon Line which separates Pennsylvania from Maryland.
Current culture around these United States is far from homogeneous, even in a small town, but many long time sons of the south and daughters of the confederacy still reside in the great state of Kentucky.
(Tell me you didn’t read that above statement in my very own dulcet Kentucky drawl).
@@clsiler9 My wife's family is from Paducah. Confederate flags fly a plenty down there.
I cant hold a tune and I can't dance but I don't miss. You make me pull I'll put you down
They make their characters very relatable that's why I like this show so much
One of the best series made hands down
Great series, sorry to see it end.
My favourite show ever.
to quote Clarence Bodiker..."Guns, guns guns..."
The tigers are playing …tonight …I never miss a game …
He forgot the 2nd half of the drummer joke -
How do you know when a drummer is at your door? The knock speeds up and when you open the door and say "come in", he says "You mean...um...like now?"
What’s the difference between an 8 slice pizza and a bass player? An 8 slice pizza can feed a family of 4.
@@robertschilz8601 The same bass player locked his keys in the car. After trying for several hours, he finally decided to break the window to get the drummer out in time to play the show.
@@arnoldfernbladst3875 How can you tell if the stage is level?..your drummer is drooling out of both sides of his mouth.
How do you get a drummer off your front porch? Pay him for the pizza.
What do you call the dumb guy in the back of the crowd that likes to hang out with musicians?
Drummer.
I guess all those royalty checks from discovering the Wonders didn't keep him from a life of crime.
That’s the Oneders.
as in...I wonder what happened to the O-neders?
I thought it was “Cap’n Geech and the Shrimp Shack shooters”
For those that missed this series, you missed the best program made in 50 year's, by my calendar !
I'm 66, and watched a lot of garbage over the year's !
This series was done right !
Such a shame when the Actors decided to bail, or so I've heard ?
Catch some of the cast every now and again, and nothing I've seen them in, work's like this did !
Found myself going back and watching reruns, while suffering from "Justified " withdraw !
Top Notch, IMHO !
👍😉
you should watch Breaking Bad.
Ok, now I am curious about the argentinian pesos on the shelves...
Love the series. I own all the seasons, and have watched them three times! My favorite is still season two. Mags Bennett is a classic TV character.
That's a series worth binge watching
Have every season on DVD. One of the best dramatic series ever!!!!!
This show could have gone on forever, and that would have been fine with me!😆❤️
that's kind of one of the themes of this show, "you can't do this forever, no matter how much you want to"
i'm just watching clips on YT of this show for the first time. damn, raylan is one cool sob
Was a really good series .. Hated to see it end ..
I might have to re watch this some time.... loved this series.
Rayland played his cards right in this instanes. Any true Kentucky boy raised on shotguns and hunting, especially fleeing from the Pen, probably had the skills, and will, to take Rayland's head off just as he described. The longer he played along, the longer he lived, plus tying in 'family' a person knows about, would make them just damn rude to kill him, and that's something good old boys even badly raised, know is not a right thing to do.
I love how much it bothers Raylan that everyone knows his last name
Not just that, but they know it because of his father...
Ya gotta see the chiefs reaction when they find Raylan, it's genius.
Great series. I might just give it a re-watch soon.
I love the small-town chit chatter of how this is exactly the way it be, if you have any roots in a place like that. I didn't even grow up in one place but I guess I visited family enough to get the card. Maybe it's just when you kinda miss somewhere, people just act like it more.
Strike Team conveniently forgot to mention the clip is from Se1 Ep2..
This show was so freakin' good!!!!
Excellent and Outstanding!!!
I was this old when I discovered this show. I’m watching this. My favourite deadwood character. He was my second until Bill got got.
Think you mean Deadwood
I think you mean Wild Bill Hickok...? Gets shot in Deadwood. Not Wyatt Earp..
Arrr. I don’t know what I’m doin. Lol
This was a great series!
I’ve watched this show from the first to the last episode several times and I intend to do it again. It’s about the beat series I’ve ever seen, and I’m older than dirt.
Fun Fact:
Despite being set in the south, this show was mainly filmed in Santa Clarita California, which is where tim olyphant played joel hammond in The Santa Clarita Diet. Olyphant also played a pimp in The Girl Next Door which was filmed in Santa Clarita. I think Olyphant likes it there.
And here we have a criminal who knows, that when he eventually gets caught, they're not gonna throw the book at him, because he treated the officer politely. Illegal, yes, but he was not being a dick.
He still committed armed robbery and kidnapping a US Marshall. That's still going to get him many years.
@@pappy374 of course.
But they probably won’t empty all their mags into him when he appears to be resisting arrest
He’s a professional, not an idiot lol. Justified always did a great job on interesting villains
@@laniejuanitawhitehurst1624 he will probably not resist, meaning they’ll nevet feel a need to shoot.
Raylan Givens was a character invented by Elmore Leonard, so cool.
Yep. This guy was the real deal.
This was a good episode.
Great show. We loved it ! Sad to see it not renewed
The late great Elmore Leonard. No one did it better.
This series waas a 10 out of 10 as far as I'm concerned. Excellent plot, acting, dialoque. BTW i heartily recommend any of Elmore leonard's books. They're always a fun read.
Great show. It's the writing that does it.
awesome show. watching whole series third time around
This show is so damn good. Can’t believe i didn’t watch it until last year
Raylan shoots a lot of people.🤓
This may have just convinced me to try out this show
Same
"Raylan, why do you wear that hat?"
"I tried it on and it fit."
The whole time I thought Raylon lowkey didn't cuff his other hand, that was an opportunity to turn the tables.
My brother named his first son after this character. Raylan Ford Collins
This was a really great series and he was perfect as Raylan Givens.
Man the dialogue is thing of poetic beauty
My only complaint about this show is it was not filmed in KY. When Raylan is in lexington and says I'm going to run down to Harlan I'll be back in a bit, lol.
Yeah he could go from any part of the state to any other in about 30 minutes.
Or any series TEXAS there’s friggin mountains in the background. There’s no mountains in Texas. Just hills and desert scrub.
@@oldcountryman2795 at one point they do lampshade it when his boss asks how he makes a 2 hour drive every other day without going nuts
When I saw the California hills that they said was Harlan County I had to quit watching it. I grew up in Bell County KY, not far from Harlan. I lived in Middlesboro, and none of the mountains around me had those dry, barren hill like on the show.
@@captainnerd6452 i know. I lived in Johnson Co.KY for a while then drove trucks out of Winchester.
This is just California trying to be Southern.
