I have it S4 > S2 > S1 > S3 > S5. Not sure where id rank S6. I need to go through that series again too. Really enjoyed it. Easily in my top 10 all time favorite shows. Maybe even top 5

I think I'd have it S2>S3>S4>S1>S5>S6, but that's going from memory and it might change after this rewatch. But hell, it didn't have a single season I didn't enjoy. Even though Season 6 is my least favorite, it still had Sam Elliot giving a hell of a performance. Definitely a top 10 or top 5 show for me, as well.

Also, so many great reaction gifs::

how can we possibly forget the show that pretty much gave us Nikki Cox?

I was about to say how that show reminded me of Married with Children, and just read that it was written by the same people.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

yeah it was pretty much a Married With Children knockoff. Didnt know it was written by the same people though

Fuck it I'm gonna track it down now lmao.

Mr Floppy(Bobcat Goldtwat) was the best part of the show

Starting this today, got the whole day free so I'm gonna get in a few episodes hopefully.

Edit: First episode was really awesome. I already like this new story over the film's, it feels like the characters have more depth and history, rather than how the film seemed like just a bunch of randoms thrown onto a train to be oppressed.

Heard it was horrible

TBF I'm only one episode deep. No problems for me so far.

rewatch. still my favourite political satire ever.

also been rewatching justified, halfway through season 2 and it's really starting to get awesome. i feel like i'm recognising so many more character actors this time around, someone familiar turns up in every episode.

So Justified doesn't get awesome until the second season? I didn't mind the first episode, but I recently watched the second episode and thought it was kinda shitty. I wanna stick with it but hopefully the second episode isn't the level the whole first season is on, that'd be a bit rough.

I mean, Boyd Crowder doesn't become a main character until season 2 so obviously that's where it picks up

I don't remember the second episode at all, but there are at least a few great episodes later in s01.

I don't remember the second episode at all

Guy breaks out of jail to get his cash stash he buried beneath a house that was being built years prior. It was just goofy and kinda dumb.

there are a few light-hearted stand-alone eps like that, mostly early on. i think they’re good fun for the most part but they aren’t the reason i love the show. it becomes more of a saga in the second half of s1 onwards, with plotlines that build over the course of a season with a great cast of mostly villainous characters. stick with it!

i just watched the one with winona and the money, which is a pretty great stand-alone ep tbh

Something that weirds me the hell out about Justified is that a song by my brother's country band can be heard in two different episodes of the series.

 

[no country for old wainds]

what song?

 

[Vegard Pompey]

"Homesick" by Willy Clay Band. It's not prominently featured or anything but you can hear it playing on a car radio in s03 and then again in a bar or something in s06.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

yea i thought season 1 was whatever the first time i watched it. But really enjoyed it the second time around. Season 2 and especially 4 are where the show really shines.
