Over six seasons, deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens made a lot of enemies. Some of them popped up for a single episode of Justified and were scattered to the wind. Others stuck around and wove themselves into the fabric of the show.
With Timothy Olyphant set to make his return in Justified: City Primeval, it’s as good a time as any to reflect on that lineup of villains who operated beneath Givens’ standard of the law and, for the most part, wound up shot. Justified evolved from a potential weekly procedural into an overarching story that took years to tell. And on the way, no shortage of brutes and scofflaws — both complex and one-dimensional — vied to control the criminal element of Harlan County, Kentucky.
