It started with a news article saying that Timothy Olyphant was going to play Cobb Vanth in The Mandalorian<\/em>, Season 2.\u00a0 Vanth, according to the Star Wars Aftermath books, is the man who found Boba Fett’s armor some time after Return of the Jedi<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I had heard of Olyphant, but never watched his show, Justified<\/em>.\u00a0 My friends on Facebook suggested that I watch as soon as possible, and that I’d love it, and that they couldn’t believe that I had never watched it.<\/p>\n

I binge watched it over 8 weeks.<\/p>\n

Five years late to the game, but I now consider it one of my all-time favorite television series.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From the first episode, I felt that I related to the main character, Raylan Givens, in a few ways.<\/p>\n

Raylan Givens: I guess I never thought of myself as an angry man.<\/p>\n

Winona Hawkins: Well, you do a good job of hiding it, and I suppose most folks don’t see it, but honestly, you’re the angriest man I have ever known.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The show itself was well written, with snappy dialogue.\u00a0 It reminded me of Firefly<\/em> in some ways, probably because of the music and the fact that Raylan reminded me of Malcolm Reynolds in many situations.<\/p>\n

This is a rare show that I can say had few, if any, bad episodes.\u00a0 That said, season 5 was probably my least favorite, but only because of a weaker plot that other seasons.<\/p>\n

Plus, Dewey Crowe is probably the stupidest character on TV in recent history.<\/p>\n

          The series finale ended the show better than most other series finales.\u00a0 Better than Game of Thrones, LOST and Battlestar Galactica, even though I enjoyed the last two shows finales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
