Everyone comparing this to the original obviously forget how boring and repetative it got towards the end. I've just recently finished watchin Justified and it was extremely hit and miss between seasons and by the end was a complete chore to finish seasons so I was apprehensive of this new show. Turns out I didn't need to be. It's far more engaging being set in the city. The original being set in such a small town as Harlan where drug dealers and criminals seemed to run rampant killing people left right and centre with almost zero repercussions from the police was so far fetched and unbelievable it amazed me it lasted as many seasons as it did. Givens is far more suited to the city and has aged out of his former wreckless behaviour it seems which I like. As many have pointed out the casting of his real life daughter as his character daughter Willow is a mistake. She is very unlikable personality wise and is completely the wrong age to be playing the role so hopefully her exit in episode 3 is permanent as it was terrible casting by the showrunners. Boyd Holbrook is great as usual and plays bad guys very well (see Logan) so look forward to see his character ramp up the threat throughout. It's a solid 7 stars.
