Chuck Hodes/FXTime waits for no one, and yet even as a middle-aged man (and father!) in a foreign city and a contemporary era, U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) remains, in Justified: City Primeval, the same cocky, laid-back badass that fans knew and loved during the series’ original six seasons, which wrapped in 2015. A modern-day Kentucky-bred gunslinger in a ten-gallon hat and with a roguish twinkle (or steely intensity) in his eye, Raylan is an old schooler with new-school charm
“Justified” is arguably one of the greatest shows of the the last 20 years. Rebooting any show is risky, especially this one. But the gamble pays off: “City Primeval” is excellent.
