Just Finished Justified

I know there are already a few threads on this amazing series but instead of dragging one back to the front page I thought I'd just say HOLY shite what a great show!

Friends told me for years I was missing out but I didn't believe them. I am happy to eat crow on that one.

I binged all six seasons in about 2 weeks and loved every minute of it.

Highlights off the top of my head: The "Wizard" bomb expert dude blowing himself up with his cell phone.

Mikey trying to keep Katherine from killing Wynn and the fight that ensues.

Limehouse cutting off that dude's arm with the skinning knife.

The cop that worked the desk in the evidence room stealing the money Winona was going to steal, buying a sports car and hauling arse to Mexico, and apparently getting away with it.

Every scene Tim Gutterson was in.

Raylan's John Wayne'esque saunter.

Every word uttered by Art.

Things that weren't so great or I had a little problem with:

Rachel's character. She had no consistency to her, causing her promotion to Deputy Chief to be less believable.

Raylan not ending up with Winona. She has this great evolution of understanding on how much the job means to him, and tells him she's OK with it. She tells him to be himself, no more lying. Then, last episode, she's with some Cuban meathead and Raylan is the joint custody cuckdad. There was just too much story left untold to make this an acceptable end to that relationship.

The I like the crown style on the hat Raylan takes off Boon better than the original hat, but that metal clip thing on the brim and the greenhead match in the band are trashy looking. Perfect for Boon, but the flash forward at the end shows Raylan still has those two trinkets on the hat. Super nitpicky, but just my opinion.

Overall, I watched the series based on a friend's recommendation and the threads here supporting his opinion. So hat's off to the MTV board for a great watch!
