jpelg Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Based on an Elmore Leonard character, Raylan Givens, played handily by Timothy Olyphant. Lots of guns, gals, good ol' boys, & drawls, to name a few of the Southern cliches that are unapologetically displayed in extremely charming fashion. Have to admit - Olyphant is charismatic as hell. Think I have a bit of a man-crush. Anyone else catching this new series on FX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good show but I think Sons of Anarchy is still my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkam Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Great show but I agree w/ Raffy it's no Sons of Anarchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark baguette Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 I haven't found a show on FX I've really loved as much as the shield, since it ended. Justified is not bad though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naamanf Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Timmy did a pretty good job on Dead Wood so I imagine this would be worth a watch. Have to add it to my show request list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elephas Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Yeah, I liked Deadwood too. Olyphaunt seems to be the type of guy who looks "right" wearing a cowboy hat. Without it on, something seems off. The actor who plays Boyd Crowder, Walton Goggins, was great in The Shield as Detective Shane Vendrell. I hope they do more with the other Marshals, though.

Superpredator Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 I'm digging it. Makes me want to get a cowboy hat, but I think it would emphasize the astounding roundness of my head, making me look like a radish with a butt chin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 I'm liking it so far. Olyphant has a lot to do with that at this point, although character development is coming along. The music intro is a weird mix of Cowboy/HipHop, but it really works. When I hear the theme music I immediately get wound up for the episode.

There's a whole CD of it, which was available free for download for a while (it has since been pulled) and if you want I'll send it your way. I enjoy the heck out of it.

The Monkey Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Watching the season finale tonight. I really like this show. And I think it got better as the season went on and the writers seemed to find their groove. The humor was a little too slapstick-y at first, but it seems to have taken a bit of a darker turn, which was the right way to go. Olyphant is very good. (I actually thought he was only mediocre in Deadwood, but I've always liked him; he was excellent in "Go.") But the rest of the characters finally have some depth now, too. And the actors seem to be jelling better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I love this show. Going to watch the finale tonight and I'm psyched that it's already been picked up for another season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I really liked the season finale and the whole season. I just wish Raylan would get rid of that plastic gun and get a real one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n_maher Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I like how angry Raylan gets. I like angry. I also like his ex-wife. I fell in lust with her watching Hung and was rather pleased to see her show up here and have a regular recurring role. She's sofa king sexy.

raffy Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I just wish Raylan would get rid of that plastic gun and get a real one. I'm not a big Glock fan either but there are some good fantastic plastic pieces out there (i.e. HK). I noticed Ava was holding something like a P2000SK when they were holed up in that shack towards the end of the finale. It's ironic how she ends up with a nicer gun than Raylan. BTW, I also like how Raylan gets angry. In the future, If i were to get angry, I'll be sure to do it Raylan-style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
