B+
The beats often feel like classic Justified, but the end result is still jarring -- a personal assessment of the current system through the unflinching blue gaze of Raylan Givens. Go to Full Review
Roxana Hadadi New York Magazine/Vulture 07/19/2023
4/5
Raylan still has that inquiring mind and that chip on his shoulder, and he still won’t let himself be intimidated or pushed around … at least not by criminals. Go to Full Review
Sarah Marrs Lainey Gossip 07/28/2023
Justified: City Primeval is a colder, darker series, which is fitting, as this story finds Raylan as a fish out of water, not only out of step with Detroit, but with modern policing, the criminals surrounding him, and with his own daughter. Go to Full Review
