Justified started the season an entertaining but rather facile law enforcement drama. It was hurt by some over-the-top stereotypical characters, and moreso by the way-off-the-mark "Kentucky" landscape (which turned out to be a small city in Pennsylvania, in real life, then, later, Southern California).
As the first season has progressed, however, the show has gotten better and better, as both the writers and actors have found their voices, and the show manages to now be dark, strange, suspenseful, funny and, occasionally, extremely sexy. The season 1 finale is a wild Peckinpah bloodbath that will leave you gasping for a breath. I haven't really seen anything quite like it on television. The show takes some wild chances, and they keep hitting the bulls-eye.
I can't wait for season 2.
