Justified: City Primeval is a sequel to Justified, one of television’s most beloved crime sagas. The limited series centers on an older, but still spry, pistol-toting Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant), the Kentucky Marshal created by crime writer Elmore Leonard. The eight-episode series combines plotlines from Leonard’s Givens novels with a separate book, City Primeval, which the Marshal did not appear in, but which showrunners Michael Dinner and Dave Andron draw upon to give their protagonist a fresh setting and foe.

Justified: City Primeval on FX and Hulu rebooted the Justified show for 10 new episodes. But Timothy Olyphant’s gunslinger feels a bit different this time.

Justified: City Primeval's finale made me immediately desperate for another season of Raylan Vs. Boyd Crowder, and it's not an impossibility.

Justified: City Primeval has more grippingly precarious stakes than its predecessor. Whether it’s the ugliness of this new city’s underbelly, or the deeper nerves struck by more thorough character development, Timothy Olyphant succeeds at every opportunity to draw Justified viewers in.
