I like the Deep South setting, "local color." Redneck knuckle draggers in trailers, lots of bourbon, steamy Southern women . . .

Justified (formerly known as Lawman[2]) is an American television drama series created by Graham Yost and based on the character U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens from Elmore Leonard's novels Pronto and Riding the Rap, and his short story "Fire in the Hole."[3] Givens is a tough, southern-bred but soft-spoken federal lawman, enforcing his brand of justice that conflicts with both sides of the law.[3]

The pilot was shot in Pittsburgh and suburban Kittaning, Pennsylvania and Washington, Pennsylvania while the subsequent 12 episodes were shot in California. Pittsburgh's David L. Lawrence Convention Center appears on film as the small town "airport" and the construction of the new Consol Energy Center serves as the "new courthouse".[1] Justified premiered on March 16, 2010, on the FX network.[3][4] In Canada, Justified will air on Super Channel beginning April 5, 2010.[5] The series is set in the hill country of Eastern Kentucky.


Premise

The series is about U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, a 19th century-style but modern-day officer based in South Florida, who enforces his brand of justice which puts a target on his back with criminals and puts him at odds with his bosses in the Marshal service. As a result, he gets reassigned to the district covering his rural Eastern Kentucky mining hometown of Harlan County.

It's fantastic. Loaded w/ classic one liners similar to Outlaw Josie Wells.

Tell me about the shooting? It was justified.
What are you packing? You'll pay to find out.
Raylan, are you gonna shoot me? If you draw, I'll put you down.

It will do until Rescue Me comes back on.

I actually looked on IMDb to see if they shot this back in Ky and there was no info. I am disappointed as a native Kentuckian to see that they couldn't make the effort to shoot locally in Harlan County (though they might have discovered it was a mite too dangerous!).

Oh, by the way; GO UK Wildcats!!
