I stuck with Justified for three seasons before throwing in the towel. It started out as an implausible but entertaining cop show with some interesting characters and relationships. But the second season devolved into a dumber plot, with shallower characters and an increasing number of backwoods stereotypes. The third season seemed at first to be a bit better, with an intriguing supervillain, but it went in circles and ended with a whimper.
The series is slick, violent, raunchy, and "gritty" in a very cartoonish way. As it became less and less realistic, I lost any interest in the characters and whether they succeeded or failed.
