(SPOILER ALERT: Do not read until you have savored every drop of the “Justified” series finale, “The Promise.”) Well. That didn’t go exactly the way I expected. But I mean that as a compliment, and along with Art and Raylan,…
(SPOILER ALERT: Do not read until you have watched Episode 12, “Collateral.”) “Justified” has always played in the gray space between good and evil, and that was never more cleverly referenced than in the opening of the series’ penultimate episode, with…
(SPOILER ALERT! Do not read further until you have watched Episode 11, “Fugitive Number One.”) There was no whiskey – everyone was too busy running or shooting or dying to drink – but there was sure a lot to watch in…

(SPOILER ALERT: DON’T READ UNTIL YOU’VE WATCHED EPISODE 4, “THE TRASH AND THE SNAKE.”) As far as whiskey goes, this week’s episode of “Justified” left us dry and high: Bourbon was abandoned in favor of marijuana and the cocaine under…
(SPOILER ALERT! Stop reading if you haven’t seen Episode 3, “Noblesse Oblige.”) Well, if there was any doubt that Avery Markham (Sam Elliott, above left) was this season’s Big Bad, that was erased at Ava’s dining room table in last…
