(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…
