FX has created an intriguing American hero with "Justified"
Timothy Olyphant's acting in 'Justified' is so great that it strips away the notion that maybe he's so damn likable because of his all-too-short stint on HBO's classic Western series 'Deadwood,'" says Tim Goodman, who adds that FX has made Olyphant's character iconic: "The best news of all is that Olyphant backs it up with an incredibly riveting performance. Better yet, 'Justified' as a whole really delivers, from the explosive pilot to a couple of other, less adrenaline-filled but no less superb episodes that add humor and nuanced storytelling to the mix."
It's "Burn Notice" with more soul // A sustained exploration of a good man
A true male fantasy show for men only // Olyphant lifts labored storylines
Another muttering existential hero who barely ever registers an emotion!
