SOUTHERN STAR! THE RETURN OF "JUSTIFIED"

Miranda rights? What are those? Timothy Olyphant as Marshal Givens in JUSTIFIED. Image: FX.

Making the much beloved Cowboy hat wearing Detective Sam McCloud's crime-busting skills seem positively geriatric in comparison comes the return of popular law enforcer Marshal Raylan Givens, as played by star ascending Timothy Olyphant (best known for his film roles in THE CRAZIES, DIE HARD 4 and HITMAN, as well as DAMAGES on TV), in a role pitch perfect for those wild eyes of his and his laconic on-screen acting style (one that would certainly please a young, in his prime Clint Eastwood), for the second series of JUSTIFIED, developed by acclaimed film-writer Graham Yost, and based on the stories of the iconic Elmore Leonard. It's back on UK screens with all its sun scorched location filming and smoky interior bar-rooms via those hungry to buy hot series people at FIVE USA in the UK.

Acclaimed by critics, with an opening season premiere which debuted to strong ratings last year, the series has created its own distinctive visual style, accompanied by weird and wonderful plots featuring a multitude of equally eccentric characters and rough baddies, and showcasing Olyphant, now a big hit with the ladies, as a lawman not afraid to take risks, clashing with his superiors and friends (including memorable support from THE SHIELD's excellent Walton Goggins) in order to get the job done, and, if necessary, bending the rules to his advantage whilst serving out his undeserved exile to the rural East Kentucky mining town of Harlan.
