"Justified" (FX)
Graham Yost has had a long
road from writing for silly sitcoms like "Hey
Dude" and "The Powers
That Be" to his current post as showrunner of FX's riveting, nuanced
urban-cowboy saga "Justified," which was inspired by a series of Elmore Leonard
novels. Much of ... more the credit belongs to casting. Timothy Olyphant was born to play rebel U.S.
Marshal Raylan Givens, and you couldn't ask for a better ensemble of finely
picked character actors than Walton Goggins, Nick Searcy and Margo Martindale, to name a few. "Justified" could
have rested on the laurels of Leonard's name and its pulpy setting and premise,
but instead it has become a suspenseful, humane and unpredictable hour of
television.
