Justified: City Primeval

Other than Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, the only regular (non-streaming) show Mrs THC and I made it a point to always watch over the past 15 years was Justified, which completed its run in 2015.  When I heard they were making a new series, Justified: City Primeval, based on another Elmore Leonard novel and set in Detroit, I was worried it would not live up to its predecessor which took place in Harlan County, Kentucky.

Well, so far, we've watched the first four episodes and it is just fine.  Timothy Olyphant, as U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, is as good as before and Aujanue Ellis, is vibrant as a defense attorney, and their interplay is the highlight of the show.  A solid supporting cast, though hard to match the sterling supporting cast of Justified, as well as the memorable villains played by Walter Goggins, Margo Martindale, and Neal McDonough and comic relief bad guys Wynn Duffy (Jere Burns) and Dewey Crowe (Damon Herriman).
