The closest I ever came to Kentucky was a roommate who used to play basketball for KSU. You all (y'all) sound alike to me.
That said, Justified is a great series. If you weren't impressed by the pilot, I don't know what to tell you. The rest of the season was either hit or miss, but I don't think there were any
bad episodes.
Season 2, however, was outstanding. I haven't seen such complex, real, and relatable gray (as opposed to black) bad guys since... I don't know, Al Swearengen . Hell, Raylan Givens makes Seth Bullock look like a Zen master. Boyd Crowder (Goggins) runs a moral gamut that should not be missed. And if you want to see a very different side to Jeremy Davies (
Lost's Daniel Jackson), you have to see him play Dickey Bennett.
I'd hold the show up against any other drama on TV, except, maybe, Breaking Bad.

"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and
active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
-George Steiner
