Justified finally debuts in Canada: Review

The Toronto Star

Don’t let the cowboy hat and boots fool you — Justified is not a western. Well, maybe a little bit.

But the one thing it definitely isn’t is another one of those ubiquitous cookie-cutter crime procedurals.

What it is, more than anything else, is pure, unadulterated Elmore Leonard, the crime writer whose character the show is based on. And that is all you need to know.

As was the case until recently with most FX-originated shows, Justified has taken its time crossing the border, available in Canada only to subscribers to Super Channel and Netflix.

But now it’s here, a season late, but available to all, debuting last night at 10 on Showcase.
