That used to be on Netflix. Don't know if it still is, but it's good.

Justified is so good. Story arcs or characters that other shows would milk to death, and they just end them and move on. I like that the Art/Raylan story appears to be getting nipped in the bud in particular. It was threatening to resemble Dexter, where a new character appeared to be right on his heels every year. It would have frustrated me if Art spent the next season and a half (8 months on the show) on that song and dance. Might be different if it felt like Raylan had crossed a line, but getting one criminal to kill another that threatened his family doesn't give you any stake in what Art's doing.

Only thing I'm not so keen on is Ava's story - feels rather artificial, like they're just finding an obstacle for her an Boyd.

[SHOW]
Completely agree. The little wormy guy from Mad Men getting her transferred to the state pen was pointless and lame. Boyd doesn't need to be away from her for their relationship to be compelling. It's just a distraction from his feud with Johnny.
