Where does Justified rank on your list of favorite shows?

I finished this series last week and really enjoyed it.
I was hesitant to get into it for a long time but once I started it I binged the six seasons in like two weeks. I think I thought it was a Sons of Anarchy level show, which I couldn't really ever get into.
The entire series is one really expansive story with so many great characters, amazing dialogue, great acting across the board. At the end it felt like I had just finished a great novel.
I appreciate that there is real character development, particularly Boyd, Raglan, and Ava.
Boyd is one of my all-time favorite characters now, the actor was perfect in the role in every way.
Also this show is not afraid to punch you in the get with some hard scenes. Had to pour one out for my boy Dewie Crowe when he was so close to getting out of the series alive.
I'd say it's for sure a top ten drama series for me and I could possibly talk myself into bumping it to 5.
Has anyone read Fire in the Hole or any of the Elmore Leonard stories it's based on?

I've never made a list or anything but if I did it would be up there pretty high.

Not top tier but high second tier. At times it rose well above your typical drama series, other times it didn't.

I liked it a lot. Wife and I recorded it every week and always started the weekend by watching the latest episode.

Weak Season 5 keeps it off top tier list. That being said, Season 2 is one of best story arcs of any series.

Raylan was such a Badass...
Posted on 12/18/16 at 9:43 am to ManBearTiger
I think it ranks number three on my favorites list.

there were a couple weak seasons
Justified could have been close to GOAT (literally) if they shaved the series down about 2 seasons and reduced a lot of the fluff-filler they used for some of the weaker seasons

YES
Final scene (spoilers, obviously)

It's in my top 10 shows over roughly the last 10 years and probably in the top 20 overall. I'm old so there have been some really good legacy TV shows in my lifetime.

Top 5 for me.
I rewatch the whole shooting match once a year.
All the characters - even the stupid Crowes - are fantastic. I know everyone else loves Boyd the most but for me, Raylan Givens is my favorite character ever.
That snark. That deep sorrow. That hat. That swagger. That gun. He's a badass but a believable one. He got his arse kicked a couple of times.
I swear, if I get bored I head over to YouTube just to watch "The Best of Raylan" videos. I'm probably responsible for half their views.
I can quote most of his lines from memory at this point.
There's something about Timothy Olyphant as Raylan that just cranks my tractor.

It's top 5 for me for sure. I would watch an entire series of Raylan and Boyd sitting in a room talking. Olyphant and Goggins were absolutely perfect for those roles
Also, of course season 2 was the best but I also thought the villains throughout the entire show were great besides Rapaport

My favorite series ever, and I still haven't seen season 2.

Raylan Givens: You're a card in fate's right hand, don't you see how it's gonna play out?
Dewey Crowe: What the hell does that mean?
Raylan Givens: It means you need to be smart.
Dewey Crowe: What I need is a $6 blow job. A smarter move I cannot imagine.
Sporting Goods Manager: Son, this is Kentucky. What do you want a ski mask for?
Dewey Crowe: Who are you, the ski mask police?
Dewey always brough it.

Top five for me. Season two is my favorite season of any series ever. It really was perfect.

3rd or 4th
Great series

It's in the second half of my top 10. It's no Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones, but as others have said, it's at the top of the second tier of TV.
The casting was top notch, top to bottom, except Michael Rappaport. The dialogue never failed to impress and entertain, and once they ditched the story-of-the-week format after the first season and went for the long game with a new big bad every season, it just got good. Mags Bennett is one of the best villains ever. Also, the accents were unreal. Arlo's was just over the top.
Finally, the comedic writing they got in with Art Mullen and Tim Gutterson was a great counter to some of the heavier parts of the series. Mullen never failed to crack me up.
Edit: Seriously. That dialogue was amazing.

I loved the show. Probably top 10-15 range for me. They probably ended it at the right length, yet I definitely would have loved more seasons.
