Deputy Raylan Givens has his own, Wild West-style methods of upholding justice, putting him at odds with the criminals he hunts and with his bosses in the U.S. Marshals Service. And an incident prompts his reassignment to the Kentucky district where he grew up. The character is based on one created by author Elmore Leonard in several books and short stories.

Thomas D @Thom1967 Dec 22 Go for it, no thinking twice here ! You just watch it. It is BRILLIANT. The characters, the story, the actors…. All of that justifies you watching it, don’t think twice, go crazy for it ! See more Dave S @RT54193408 Aug 5 This show bucks the trend of these sorts of things - it is a TV crime drama with Western/Hillbilly overtones that rewards the viewer with a pleasing arc of character and moral development. It doesn't hang on too long to ideas or to formulas or, truth be told, even to its characters. it also looks past the usual "2D" character to the environments that spawned them and to their efforts to avoids its claustrophobic embrace. As strong in Season 6 as it was in Season 1. 5 stars. No question. See more RONALD J @Ron9225 Jul 27 This whole series (all 6 seasons) is a masterpiece and I don’t give such high praise lightly! It has everything you could possibly want - action, drama, comedy, suspense, romance, surprises - all done superbly! Timothy Olyphant as Raylan Givens may be my favorite film character of all time! See more Boopi H @RT90026120 Jun 17 absolutely brilliant series. exciting to the max, action out the wazoo, a true bad ass lawman who not only doesn't mind killing baddies, he feasts on their deaths. a gotta watch! See more Ashton S @RT47898973 02/19/2025 The first five episodes are hit or miss but they do not connect properly. After that, the season turns it up a notch and is incredible. See more Aryaman T @RT48415189 02/10/2025 A 'western' show according to Democrats. Piss! See more Read all reviews
