Justified premieres tonight (3/16/10) on FX

[Reds4Life]

Really liked the premire as well, some great lines.

My favorite:

Boyd: "I will extend you the same offer, if you ain't out of Harlan county by noon tomorrow, I'm gonna come lookin for you"

Raylen: "Now your talkin'"

I will def be watching this in the future.

Very interesting television. I watched, I liked.

[GIK]

Thumbs-up. Can't wait for the next episode.

Liked it a lot. Was I the only one who had Brad Paisley's "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" (that's the version I am most familiar with anyway) playing in their head the whole show?

I just finished watching it. I liked it a lot but I wonder where they are going to go with it over time.

The key about the future of the series was the conversation he had with his new boss early on in the episode. About how each field agent does all the functions of the Marshall service. Prisoner transfer, witness protection, investigation, etc, etc. I imagine you will see a Walker, Texas Ranger type of weekly story line, fit into a longer FX style story arc.

I missed the premiere but plan to watch the first episode online and DVR the rest. Justified looks like a blast.

Don't worry FX will likely air it again 4-5 times between now and Tuesday.

Yep...I had 21 choices when I did a search for the episode with my program guide.

I DVR'd it and watched it. It was OK but I don't care for violent shows like this one. I watched mainly to see how authentic it was since I am originally from Harlan County. The accents were good. It sounded like the mountain accent not a Texas drawl like you see on movies set in the Appalachian mountains. Where it was filmed wasn't quite like Harlan. The mountains in SE Ky, especially in Harlan County, are bigger and steeper than the one's on the show. The one's on the show were more rolling hills than mountains. Also the town didn't look like Harlan but I guess that doesn't matter that much to the average person watching it. I'm not sure I have ever heard of any rocket launchers down there either. That was kind of odd I thought for someone in a rural area like that to have one of those. I thought Timothy Olyphant was really good. Very Clint Eatwood like. The others were pretty average. I may watch another episode or two but beyond that I probably won't watch.

My wife and I loved The Shield with "Shane" as one of the main characters. We noticed "Shane" was a major character in this show too....we missed the premier, but hope to catch it this weekend on DVR. By all accounts...it sounds good!

It seems they switched back and forth between Lexington and Harlan County a lot so I wasn't sure where all the stuff took place. When thery blew up that church, it seemed like it was in a city rather than a rural place. It also seemed like they had him going back and forth between Lexington and Harlan County quite a bit like he was going back and forth between Cincy and Dayton.

It might have been that the logistics of filming on location were too difficult. I'm sure it would have been a bit more authentic to film there or in a place like it but probably not too realistic for the actors and production crew.

Where is it filmed? Anyone know?

I just checked. The pilot was filmed in Pennsylvania but the rest of the series will be filmed in L.A.

The Pittsburgh area, which, other than eastern KY, is pretty much coal central in American. I think they sent a crew to get establishing shots of the real Harlan Co. and Lexington to use throughout the series though.
