Justified Season 1 (FX)

Justified has just started its final season on FX, so I attempt to go back and cover the previous five seasons of the US Marshall/cowboy crime series with the rich backdrop of Harlan, Kentucky, starring Timothy Olyphant, Walton Goggins, Nick Searcy, Joelle Carter, and more. This review covers the thirteen episode long first season of the series.

With the third season debuting on FX on January 29, I look back at the second season of the cold war drama that is The Americans, starring Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell.

Fargo Season 1 (FX)

I cover the first season of FX’s crime drama anthology series, Fargo, starring Martin Freeman, Billy Bob Thornton and Allison Tolman.

 

 

Awards #1: The Best TV Shows of 2014

In the first of three separate posts, I hand out my traditional ‘best of the year’ blogs to various subjects. The first of these awards goes to TV Shows, where I run down The Top 20 TV series of 2014, as well as listing my favourite actors/actresses from this year, as well as including my favourite 10 series that I started watching in this year not from 2014. So it’s essentially a big, bumper post that should give you enough television to watch over the Christmas break. Enjoy!
