Justified: “Collateral”
I almost wish I hadn’t given last week’s Justified, “Fugitive Number One,” a five-star rating, because now I look like I’m just repeating myself. Well, there are worst things to….
Justified: “Fugitive Number One”
It goes without saying that Justified has predictably great opening scenes, but goddamn, how great was that opener? Boyd and Raylan are never better than when they’re flirting at being….
