I attempted to watch
FX's totally
Olyphant-astic new hour-long crime drama,
Justified. I said 'attempted' because I gave up pretty early in the program.
Here's the problem: Within the first ten minutes the main villain (
The Shield
's
Walton Goggins) shoots a rocket launcher at a church, motivated partly by racism (but mostly by boredom), and then shoots his partner in crime because of suspicion/convenience/fun. Right away they establish that this guy is a whimsically and recklessly violent white supremacist
. That's a non-starter, because I need to like the villain
at least a little bit to enjoy the rivalry.
Maybe I'll hear that this is the greatest show since [your favorite show here], but for now, I think I'll pass.
Ed. -- Forget what I said. I stuck through and now I love this show.
