Pilot review: Justified

I think I watched this show because there was a lot of hype about Timothy Olyphant being awesome in a cowboy hat. I really like Timothy Olyphant. For one thing, he was the film geek/killer in Scream 2. For another thing, he used to do the sports report on the radio station that I listened to while driving to work every morning in LA. He would occasionally be interrupted from reporting because he was trying to get his daughters ready for school at the same time. He referred to every sports team as the City Team Name "of Anaheim" (e.g. the Dallas Mavericks of Anaheim). He loved Borat. He was just generally endearing. So I opted to watch the show.

This show is Timothy Olyphant being awesome in a cowboy hat. He shoots people because he enjoys it. He's Southern. He breaks into his ex-wife's house at night to freak out her new husband and then wax philosophical about his life. His name sounds a lot like Waylon Jennings. He's really, really Southern. He is enjoyable to watch and I will watch him again this week.
