I need to read up on it, if the writers are the same it’s in safe hands. If it’s up to the standard Deadwood set then fine, but “Justified” is one of the all time greats and it doesn’t need to be revisited.
I was planning on re-watching it at some point but I must have seen it all at least three times already because the acting, writing and story are in that rarefied air alongside the all time greats. The mixture of overhanging plot and criminal of the week kept it fresh for the entire run, even though by the end it weighed heavily towards serial. The seasons all have a different main antagonist too so it pretty much pulled off all of the best ways to do TV shows at once.
Got the box set for £4 I think, my mate ended up buying it all on YouTube for at least 10x that amount. Bargain.
