It's kind of a classic modern Western crossed with a crime procedural? The lead is a U.S. Marshall who makes bad choices about women, has a problematic relationship with his father, and who may have a bit of a problem with his temper, but is really, really good at what he does.

Timothy Olyphant is fantastic, and the writing's only improved over the course of the first season. (His girlfriend irks me. His ex-wife is mostly awesome, though, which makes up for it some. There is not nearly enough of his competent co-worker in later episodes, I do confess. Still.)

/needs a Justified icon, discovering she does not have one.
