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.

B+
The show remains terrific; the production details, the writing, the quality just about peerless in just about every shot. Go to Full Review
Matt Zoller Seitz New York Magazine/Vulture 06/17/2014
3/5
Justified has tended to concentrate the bulk of its action in and near Kentucky, but this season, right out of the gate, it's sending two of its main characters to faraway states. A show this smart doesn't make a change that big just for the scenery. Go to Full Review
Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter 06/17/2014
There was a feeling this season that the puppet strings were more visible than usual, characters were acting in ways they ordinarily wouldn't and the tension meant to spark Daryl vs. Raylan failed to light any fires of interest. Go to Full Review
Matt Webb Mitovich TV Line 08/26/2014
Say what you will about this uneven season of Justified, in the end it unarguably teed up a wonderfully savory premise for the FX drama's farewell run. Go to Full Review
Nick Venable CinemaBlend 06/24/2014
I'll never understand why more people aren't completely fanatical about this smart and darkly hilarious series, as it features some of the most richly drawn characters on TV, and is set in a world where everyone and everything has a distinct personality. Go to Full Review
James Queally Newark Star-Ledger 06/17/2014
While I'm more than happy to look forward, "Restitution" also did a nice job of tying up season 5's troublesome plotlines in entertaining fashion. Go to Full Review

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 Mark K 08/02/2024 Likely the weakest season of the series, but even at its worst this show is light years above the vast majority of shows on TV. It may not shine in comparison to other seasons but it is still excellent in its own right. And it is a critical season in the arcs of the three main characters and sets the stage for the climactic final season. This season would have to be significantly worse to be anything less than 5 stars. See more noah g 01/29/2024 boyd is one of the best villains in TV history, middest season of the show tho See more Ian M 06/24/2023 Can't get enough, great story lines, acting is spot on in most cases, great scenery, look forward to every episode. See more Matthew S 05/04/2023 Getting close to the last season of this wonderful series. And you are hooked. I know I am. Good thing is there is something coming I will tell you about in my final season review of this series. A++++ See more Rais E 02/25/2023 Justified is quality showtime with as much style as much as it has substance. See more Read all reviews
