Justified from FX is a critically acclaimed crime drama series that aired from 2010 to 2015, starring Timothy Olyphant as Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, a flawed but charismatic lawman who returns to his hometown of Harlan, Kentucky, to confront old demons and take on the criminal underworld. The series was based on the short story "Fire in the Hole" by Elmore Leonard, who was also an executive producer on the show.

Over the course of six seasons, Justified presented a highly satisfying blend of suspense, humor, and character-driven storytelling that drew in a loyal fan base and earned numerous accolades, including Emmy nominations for Olyphant and Walton Goggins, who played the show's main antagonist, Boyd Crowder.

The show's premise was simple but effective: Raylan Givens, a quick-tempered but principled lawman with a talent for shooting first and asking questions later, is reassigned from Miami to Kentucky after he kills a drug lord in a justified shooting. In Harlan, he finds himself surrounded by old acquaintances and new enemies, including his ex-wife Winona (Natalie Zea), his childhood friend and criminal mastermind Boyd Crowder, and a colorful cast of hillbilly gangsters, drug traffickers, and corrupt officials.

As Raylan tries to keep the peace and enforce the law in his own unique way, he butts heads with his former boss Art Mullen (Nick Searcy), his rival Deputy Marshal Rachel Brooks (Erica Tazel), and a parade of crooks and con artists who test his patience, his morals, and his marksmanship. Along the way, he also grapples with personal issues such as his strained relationship with his father Arlo (Raymond J. Barry), his romantic entanglements with Winona and other women, and his uneasy alliance with Boyd, who shares a complicated history with him.

Despite the show's focus on crime and violence, Justified had a strong sense of humor and wit that tempered its darker elements and made it more than just another cop show. The dialogue was sharp, the characters were well-drawn, and the settings were richly evocative of the rural South, where tradition and modernity clashed in unexpected ways. The show also had a terrific ensemble cast that included Joelle Carter as Ava Crowder, Boyd's girlfriend and one of the few women in the show to hold her own against the male characters; Jacob Pitts as Deputy Marshal Tim Gutterson, Raylan's loyal and sarcastic sidekick; and Jere Burns as Wynn Duffy, a slippery underworld figure who became a fan favorite for his deadpan delivery and colorful wardrobe.

Throughout its run, Justified maintained a high level of quality and consistency that kept fans engaged and satisfied. Its mix of action, humor, and southern Gothic flavor gave it a unique appeal that set it apart from other shows in its genre. Whether you were a fan of gritty crime dramas, quirky character studies, or Kentucky bourbon, Justified had something for everyone.

In conclusion, Justified from FX was a five-star show that entertained audiences with its remarkable cast, incredible writing, and the wild ride of crime and suspense that it took them on. It's a show that should be on the top of every must-watch list for shows that truly encapsulate what it means to create a thrilling and enjoyable viewing experience.

Justified is a series that is currently running and has 6 seasons (80 episodes). The series first aired on March 16, 2010.
