JUSTIFIED may be getting a sequel series (sorta)

The final 3 episodes of this show were by far the best. The grim humor was still missing --- although we did get a very brief glimmer of it in the hospital scene: "You broke my heart. And my leg."

The ending? SPOILER WARNING ...

Raylan turns in his badge. Why??? What motivated this? He shot a bad guy? That never bothered him before. In fact, JUSTIFIED's very first scene had him do this. Clement broke into the judge's home, in the dark, and could have been reaching for a weapon. Raylan was 100% justified in shooting the guy. And let's be honest: Raylan has done way worse. He deputized Boyd frickin' Crowder right before an unsanctioned shoot out with a drug cartel. He stood aside while Nicky Augustine was murdered by the mob. He stood aside while Wendy Crowe murdered Daryl Crowe.

So was this show trying to show us that Raylan has grown up? That he has lost faith in the law? That he just wants to be around for his daughter? I have no idea, because the story didn't show us. It just showed Raylan turning in his badge because someone in the writer's room said, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if Raylan turned in his badge?"

Maybe it would. But you gotta have it make sense. You gotta SHOW me why this is happening.

So how about this? Let Raylan rest. Let him go fishing with his daughter, putter around the house, and open an ice cream truck. Give us a show about Boyd reuniting with Wynn Duffy and getting into all shorts of shenanigans south of various borders.

Come on, America!

Put a fork in it, Justified is done.

This series has run it's course, and this season was a flop.

The last five minutes saved the finale, but it's not enough to save this series.

The show got mixed reviews, but it actually did pretty well in terms of streaming viewership.

In the new series Raylan shot the bad guy and it wasn't "Justified" the SOB didn't draw a gun on Raylan, Instead to Raylans surprise he pulled out a cassette tape. This character Raylan prided himself on only shooting when it was Justified. Does explain the name of the show.
