Oh yeah. From my favorite author Elmore Leonard. Great cast. Great stories. Excellent soundtrack, including Dave Alvin. I watched it twice.

Elmore Leonard is considered by many to be one of the best writers of crime fiction that ever lived. This is true to his style and directly based on his writing.

If you are not watching this on NETFLIX, you ate missing out on the rise of 2 new young, very talented Actors!

If you likes these check out Deadwood also starring Timothy Olyphant.

The entire cast is very strong but as I touched on above, 9 episodes is an absolute joke of the highest order. I am on number 3 and it already feels dragged out. This bloating of shows is ruining television, this should be 2 hrs, max.

I too was very surprised and wondering how much content they would spread out that long.
But at least the writing and acting is carrying it.
It is crushing Netflix viewing worldwide.

Have seen Deadwood three times! I'd rather watch a great series multiple times, than an average one even once.

Timothy Olyphant has played a "Marshal" four times that I know of: Deadwood, Justified, The Mandolorian and S04 of Fargo.

Sounds like a good plan for a rainy Saturday tomorrow.

Tthe first episode has a made-for-TV feel about it, very introductory. But, it really picks up steam a few episodes in. Raylan's ex is gorgeous. And his boss Art, is great.

What???? He is an incredible actor!

I strongly recommend you to watch NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN immediately.

Report back once you do.

Loved that show and often recommend it to others. Controversial but I put it above The Wire and Breaking Bad.

It's also a show where the ending didn't completely suck.

Justified over Breaking Bad and The Wire? Wow, high praise. My MIL has raved about Justified for years. Perhaps I'll check it out.

Above Breaking Bad? That's a high bar. I'm pretty far into Season One and I find it entertaining but that's it. Does it get better?

No, sorry I mean I had heard of Bardeim and not the others. He is killing it, as always.

Yeah I liked it but Breaking Bad is in another league. I could never get into The Wire though, so I’ll say it was better than that for me.
