You can pull any five minute clip at random from any show in this series and it would still be one of the greatest clips ever. Just a solid show every season, not just all the regulars, but the guest stars as well.
@@dchegu Spin-off series probably wouldn't be, but a feature film with Olyphant and Goggins returning would be fantastic! I'm not sure what the storyline could be, but I'm sure Boyd could weasel his way out of prison and find out about Ava and his son!
Funny enough.... my mother and all THIRTEEN of her siblings are/were from Harlan Kentucky. My grandparents worked the coal mines for Peabody, and eventually died of black-lung. I still have kin in Elizabethtown KY that managed to 'escape' from the poverty of Harlan, and more than a few still in Harlan. My mom married at 19 and moved to Chicago where I was born. I remember going to see my cousins, aunts and uncles in Harlan. All were old-timey moonshiners and absolute outlaws. My moms oldest brother killed a Harlan County Deputy Sheriff back in the 60's when Jason Howard was Sheriff; he was on the run a few days and was allegedly trying to surrender after they caught him in the woods when the deputies said they thought he 'was reaching' so they shot and killed him. 7 of my uncles and most of my cousins are doing or at least did time in prison on various charges. I don't think that the series was actually filmed in Harlan, but the producers did a damn-good job of recreating it. My mom died of cancer in 2011, and until I told her about JUSTIFIED she had no idea that there was a series using Harlan as it's fictional locale. She watched the few episodes she could as her health deteriorated and we shared some laughs over how close the depictions were about the life/people. JUSTIFIED was a great series and all of the actors were cast perfectly!!
My dad and his whole side are from Harlan too! I got so excited when this show was announced and told him it was in his hometown. Family in Harlan & Lexington
@@caitlynslusher8703 Just curious.... do you have any relatives with the last name "Stevens"? Some of my uncles were Crockett, Rodney, Rayburn, & Lloyd....3 of my aunts were Janice, Roxanne, (went by Roxy) and Norma Jean.... My mother was Lola-Bonita, but went by "Bonnie".... After Harlan, some of them moved to Elizabethtown KY..... the ones that were not dead or in prison, anyway. I have a TON of cousins I've not seen in 40 years and many I don't even know about.
except for locations. There is no palm trees in Harlan. I caught one recently on a clip. It's filmed North of Los Angeles. One of the places is in Filmore. I think I know where one of the bar scenes is filmed. THe bar was for sale years ago. the reason the area is a dry county, or is it moist, is for the moonshiners. if it was legal, people wouldn't buy the moonshine.
@Repent or you will likewise perish. There is absolutely no difference between what you and people like you are doing and what scammers are doing on this and other social media. "Repent or you will likewise perish." Really? Odd how god is so wonderful and full of love, but the majority of christians waste their lives trying to fear monger those of us who don't believe, under the threat of eternal damnation. I'm a good person, because I want to be. I don't need a threat of a hell to make me want to do good. I should have been dead over a year and a half ago. I will most likely be dead in less than a year. I've seen no proof of the god of any bible, let alone the Holy Bible. But if I'm wrong, and there exists a god, that means that god allows children to be beaten, molested, murdered, kidnapped, and suffer from terminal illnesses. All while the children are praying to him to save them from the hell they are enduring, and the parents are begging god to heal their children, as they helplessly watch them die a slow, painful death, I don't want anything to do with a devious deity like that. The only thing that hurts about dying, is knowing that my 7 year old daughter is going to grow up without her dad. I used to just shrug you religious zealots off. Not anymore. You are damaged, and you want others to be damaged along with you.
The part where Raylan taps on the animal cage and looks at the kid is so hilarious...that look of mild disappointment and judgment like, "Really? Ya'll let the hamster die and just left him there?" 🤣🤣🤣
" Were going to put a stop to those disability checks. " And the family gets angry. " Ain't going stop our draw. " Draw = govt check. These are the people who sit around all day complaining about liberals and California.
They cut out the best part, when Jud lights up a joint in front of them. Tim says, "Don't you realize we're federal agents?" Jud replies, "I got the glaucoma........real bad." Then passes the joint to his sister. 🤣
But… ‘Pull yourself up my your bootstraps’! Welfare Queens. Oh don’t forget to give us taxes money after the fact (that southern & western states do not pay their fair share of income tax).
Ya they "don't much like them federals", unless they're getting their checks. These are the same morons who talk about ending "government handouts" and vote for folks who want to end wellfare, not realizing THEY are the ones who will lose those programs.
@@loriannwhite8384 Pretending the east and west coast don't get welfare is hilarious and it isn't the pittance that welfare grifters are taking. Tax subsidies for industry, government contacts for business, Medicare keeping the entire medical industry afloat and let's not forget all the military bases. But yeah, we should expect southerners to pay more considering we spent the last 160 years kicking them down for the civil war while we in the blue states fleece them pretending that we are better because we dont have as many people on welfare.
@@TheHolypoopstick I think it’s more that the Deep South is a huge drain on resources. States like Cali and NY have to pay millions of their taxes to keep Mississippi and Alabama and Kentucky barely above water. And then those southern states elect bumpkins who want to build walls and end food stamps. It’d be funny if it wasn’t so damn sad.
We used to go into houses and flats like that in the line of duty and thirty years later, I can still close my eyes and remember the terrible stench of such places. Kind of dump that you wipe your feet when you LEAVE the house.
I've been in places like that. When I got home I ditched my clothes on the far edge of the back porch, walked naked into the house and took a long hot shower with plenty of soap. Cleaned and rinsed the shower when I was done. Brushed my teeth and gargled with Listerine to get the smell and taste out of my mouth. Then I washed all my clothes with bleach, including my shoes. I wouldn't let anyone else touch them until they were cleaned off. Always keep your tetanus shots up to date.
@@brianmccarthy5557 the bad ones (bodies) I would throw the clothes not wash them. It took a couple of day of washing my hair to get the smell out. Laying in bed at night and the faint waft of decay hanging in the air. Going into these houses and they offer you a drink. Sometimes I thought it was test.
@@stormy8092 I strongly doubt that, its more highly likely that anybody who has a lifestyle like this has never voted. The fact is if you take at look at the base supporters of both parties, one side seems open to debate issues and one side is not because apparently they already know whats best for everyone else whether they agree or not. Which decide is truly democratic?
@@stormy8092 You tell em! I'm so glad we've got The Great President 🥔-Joe Biden running the show now! And if he needs advice all he has to do is pick up the phone and he can consult with "The Smartest Man He Knows" his amazing son Hunter Biden who all the lying liars tried to smear awhile back with all that Russian Disinformation Laptop scheme but luckily for The Biden's and America those lies were suppressed and now BigGuy-🥔Joe gonna make up a whole new Government Agency to FIGHT the battle against such disinformation officially! I hope he is gonna see about getting a few extra billion so that those wonderful amazing saint-like Ukrainians can have them a Bureau Of Disinformation just as good as ours, I don't mind if half my check goes to some little pissant place that up until recently WAS part of Russia and if we all give 3/4 our check it'll be worth it to be sure it's not reabsorbed it'll even be worth starting WW3 and wiping out the whole goddamn planet! If there has been one thing I've always heard everyone agreeing about being the most important aspect of everything in their lives for as long as I can remember it has always been and always will be WHAT ELSE CAN I DO FOR OR GIVE TO UKRAINE! * *you can't REALLY be a 🥔-Joe supporter even now, can you? Are you what we once labeled as Fucking Retarded?

@@hp67c Never get the itch to get back into the natural world a little and live simply? I came back after a long time in urban environments and I tell ya I felt better. Breathed easier, enjoyed what I was seeing out of my window a lot more. You got roots out here, don't forget them!
Just good acting by everyone. When a child actor’s character is so obnoxious you want to reach through the TV screen and choke them out, that’s doing your job.
"He made us" Yeah no shit, you started your car, the ONLY car within half a mile, as soon as he started pedaling away from the mailbox and sped up to 4 times his speed within 5 seconds of moving forward.
@@rnash999 sure the motor is quiet but the traveling sounds like friction on a road, gravel, break squeeks etc. All the same problems you'd have on a quiet petrol/deasel engine
That older lady actress, Beth Grant, steals every scene she's ever been in, from Malcolm in the Middle to Sordid Lives to her newer works, her talents are so extensive. She can play any part, but excels at bossy mother types.
Ever watch the Bosch series? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vuVAP_4TQEY.html Amazing series with a terrific cast. There was 7 seasons and now they restarted it as Bosch-Legacy where he plays a PI.
I don't know this show, but those are some fairly spot-on Kentucky accents (speaking as a native), the "gentle drawl" as opposed to the more musical accents found down Georgia and Alabama way. Southern, but not so southern that it's covered in Spanish Moss. Good on their dialect coach for nailing the specific regional accent.
What it is Spanish Moss exactly, sounds interesting do elaborate further on this Spanish Moss. I hope it ain't something that grows underneath someone house, huehue.
@@aviricca5578 I'm from Kentucky (which is sort of southern, but not VERY southern). So, yeah, most people in America think that Kentucky is in the South, which is mostly true, but we're the northernmost of the southern states, if you take my meaning. In the American state of Georgia, on the southern Atlantic Coast, there is a parasitic moss that grows up on the branches of trees. It might not even be a moss, but just called that. It doesn't grow in Kentucky (too cold) so I'm kinda pulling this out of my ass. But anyway, it's a moss/plant like thing that parasitizes trees in some parts of the Deep South. I think "mistletoe", that stalwart of western European Christmas tradition, is also a tree parasitic, though I'm pretty sure not the same one. If you Google pictures of the 400 year old American city of Savannah Georgia (home today to a thriving and important art institute, but, to our American shame, formerly an important port for the importation of slaves from Africa), a distinguishing feature of photographs of Savannah is that all the trees have "Spanish Moss" hanging from them in fronds. Of course, it's killing the tree, but it looks spooky and beautiful. As to the "Spanish" adjectival part, I've no idea, but I do remember that, long before the American Revolution, that area of southeastern coastal North America (present day Georgia and Florida, just to the south of it) were held by the Spaniards. You should look up "Spanish Moss" on Wikipedia (I'm going to now) and see what I got wrong, but that's what was in my head when I wrote my comment. Greetings from Louisville, Kentucky, on the mighty Ohio River. We don't really know Spanish Moss here, but that's kinda sorta what it is.
@@AlanCanon2222 North FL here, from a neighborhood covered in live oaks dripping with Spanish moss. It’s actually some sort of air plant, it doesn’t hurt the trees at all. It’s also full of tiny little bugs that will bite the snot out of you and then those bites will itch like crazy. So, if y’all are ever around any, look but don’t touch!
Ah my fellow Kentuckians, and some are kin. The Frankfort Mafia in the show is based on the Cornbread Mafia around Bardstown etc. The weed farmers daddies were moonshiners who stole their starter mash from my Grandfather Cummins' distilleries in the Nelson County area. Show was really well researched, and many true events like the judge wearing nothing but a gun holster under his robe are true.... I spent a year in the mid 1970s as a Treasury IRS Revenue Agent collecting unpaid Federal Taxes in the Appalachian coal fields. Still amazed I made it out alive, especially as I was unarmed...
One of my all time favorite shows. The dumbest move anyone could ever make was screwing with Raylan, which would get you either dead of wishing you were.
"so congrats" .... That is so relatable, i count tell you how many times ive just had to be somewhere for 1 thing, and even given them a friendly reminder that im not looking for ANYTHING else right now. and yet still the dramatics, and the showboating forces us to do more work.
LAWDY BE, I wish they would reboot this show!!!!! The subject matter remains so relevant and so many of these actors would be such a sight for such sore eyes. Tim, you masterpiece of a man, please make this happen!!!!!
@@annecraig8257 There's a new limited series, called Justified: City Primeval being made. May already be in post production... It takes place in Detroit and Timothy Olyphant is back playing Raylan Givens.
I've never seen an 'Inbred' family that has such perfect teeth. All of them. Straight, bright white and none missing. Who's over looking details on that show?
@@ashleighelizabeth5916 My wife worked as personal manager in WV. On the application there is a section about prior offences. This one applicant said when he got to that page " I'm going to need more paper!"
Plenty of hill people have good teeth. As long as you don't eat sugar your teeth are going to be fine. You are basing your critique off of stereotypes, not reality.
I never until just now reading your comment realized that they are indeed one and the same! And very clearly so, not too much change in appearance for the passing of years between the roles. I suppose you could say that much like Scotty, I Didn't Know!
I am glad you like it! I take it you live in the USA to have seen the show. So let me say "welcome to America". I recognize that at one point a very great number of your country men cam to America (at some point in the 1800's when Sweden was very very poor) and have helped make it the great place it has become. And I am also glad that Sweden has also become a great and literate nation.
I want to see a show dedicated to Tim. Like maybe have him transferred to a big city where he has to deal with big city crap while incorporating what he learned in Kentucky with his ranger experience. Have Rachel, Art, and Raylan make guest appearances. Maybe even Boyd.
I used to get butterflies in my stomach just tuning in and anticipating the "thump, thump, thump" of the theme music by Gangsta Grass that started each episode.
If I remember right, this was supposed to be in Versailles, KY. I thought that was funny, because Versailles is one of the wealthiest cities in Kentucky and looks nothing like this. It even has a giant castle in it.
@@daynechastant it's born out of hopelessness. People like the ones shown here have absolutely no hope of ever having a better life or getting out of this shithole. They don't care if they live or die because they've got nothing to live for and nothing to look forward to.
As someone with family who lives down in Barbourville, I can confirm that hill people from that part of Kentucky act pretty much exactly like this. Right down to the pulling guns if anyone strange, cop or otherwise, steps foot on their trailer park...I mean land
What season is this from? I saw bits of one season with the girl from the Tim the tool mans second show. I don't watch TV but pick up stuff streaming. Never seem to swatch a whole season of anything though.
Justified is so good it's worth to watch again just to pick up details you might have missed the first time. I did it in 2020 and might do it again in the future.
"...and some other *hit I'm sure were going to find here" lol. God I miss this show. Watched it a second time around during the rona hype and while much cheesier, still had a solid rewatch value.
@@PhogofWar It's disappointing when people treat the third leading cause of death like it's nothing. They're the sort to let a hamster die and just let it rot.
Hulu has it. I own the DVDs but enjoy streaming so I watched it for the 50-eleventh time since it ended 4/14/2015. Love me some Raylan. Justified - in my top 5 all time favorites!
I used to be married to a woman from eastern Kentucky so I spent a lot of time down there. I don't know how, but they nailed the culture and mannerisms. Some of the characters remind me of my former in laws to the point a shudder will run through me while watching this show.
@jacob turner funny thing about that is I new a fellow near Atlanta that actually drove a police interceptor model Crown Vic that he bought at auction. Somebody keyed it in a parking lot because they thought it was still a cop car unfortunately.
Justified painted "country people" as people--some good, some bad, most a little of both because they were trying to survive a tanked economy. It was actually harsher with the comfortable suburban types, such as the Clover Hill set or Winona's husband.
@@cactusmalone I'm from the hills of the South and am incredibly invested in how people from here are portrayed. Justified is one of the few shows I've found where poor, working class southerners are portrayed as complex people instead of a trope. I disagree with the "inbred" in the title. That is highly obnoxious. But don't let the deter you from watching the actual show. I was impressed by the depth and complexity of the characters, and how they developed from their life and work. I resisted watching for a long time, but it impressed me as few depictions of Appalachia have.
2:20 these criminals always think it's gonna be "I'm dead, lights out!" when in reality when they get shot and it's not life threatening they cry like little babies, then go to prison!!!! Lol
After they killed those three, operating in that area would be impossible, and they'd have to leave. They be killed in their motel rooms, or get a lethal dose of LSD in their burgers at the diner.
I lived around the area this show takes place as a kid (Harlan county Kentucky, and more precisely Harlan city) And what I love about this series is that people really act like the people in this show here. But all in all its fairly believable, the mannerisms and speech are dead on.
This must be the most sophisticated Hillbilly family I've ever seen. There's a video of a guy, who visited an Inbred family in the south. Let me put it this way. It wasn't just a bunch of rude people, speaking a strange way and having a confederate flag on the house.
@@epbrown01 I grew up around a lot of people like this (not this violent but definitely every bit as country) and I assure you they vote in large numbers.
@Ghent Purdue that's the irony of it. I once knew a boy from E KY who was dyed in the wool Republican that lived on public assistance, in public housing. One of the greatest con jobs ever perpetrated in this country was convincing millions of poor white people to vote against their own interests.
7/14/23 One of my favorite series I look forward forward to watching every episode. This is true, not every place is upper class, rich folk. Truth 💯 there really is Cornbread Mafia in Tennessee and other areas! Mountain/ Hill people, coal mine, moonshine. You should watch movie Lawless with Tom Hardy, Jason Clarke, Shia LaBeouf
The thought never crossed my mind that they were inbreed wonder why you are saying that in the description, and I've rewatched the show at least 25 times..
