Modern Retrospect : Retro Hits Modern Bits

We are proud to present our first TV show discussion/review! And I think we picked a doozie. "Justified" is what you get when you merge great writing, a modern cowboy, a Kentucky setting, no-nonsense characters, and a whole lot of tense and entertaining duels. We dig into what we think makes Justified check off essential TV boxes and what we enjoy about the characters, the stories, and the all-around badassery of some of the toughest and smartest cookies on television. If we were anywhere near as smooth and suave as Deputy Marshall Raylan Givens, we would probably be lawmen.
