    First season was a bit procedural, but S2 may be the best season of TV of anything. Other seasons were great too, and it had the best ending of any TV show I’ve seen.

    Based on some of the works of Elmore Leonard (author of the books movie like Get Shorty and Jackie Brown are based on) it’s about an old school cowboy kind of guy by the name Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant)… but in modern times. So cowboys vs. gangsters kind of thing.

    Here’s the opening scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho2_c_LGZfk

    Raylan isn’t the most interesting character, interesting enough though because it is questioned whether he’s creating situations so he can kill people, what the influence his father (a violent abusive criminal) had on him, etc. But it’s kinda like Batman TAS, where the villains are the really interesting part of it. The main villain, Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins), is kinda like the Joker because he knows the hero is going to win and makes all of his schemes around that.

    You can skip City Primeval tho, it’s kinda pointless other than the last five minutes.
