the only reasons ppl are comparing it to the shield are because its on fx and walton goggins is a main character (for the 1st ep anyway). it was marketed directly toward shield fans. all other comparrison- script, acting, story- are EXTREMELY premature

    The March 16 debut of Fx's new drama series Justified drew 4.16 million viewers, the second most-watched series premiere in network history.

    I think this show has some promise. I would like to see Goggin's character involved more in the series but as it was stated above they were probably promoting it with him to bring The Shield fans in, which I was/am. Given the way the premier played out I am not sure which direction you could even have his character go if they did keep him around though.

    Okay debbie downer......we're comparing the 1st episode of this show to the 1st episode of The Shield. How is THAT premature?

    not everyone specified that. anyway, having the main character, a cop, murder another cop and frame a drug dealer was far better than justified. i just think the ONLY reason people are comparing the 2 is Walton Goggins. ppl should just watch on its own merit- there might be a hanful of shows in history that were as complex and emotional as the shield so im not gonna get my hopes up by comparing the 2. for people to say this has the potential to be BETTER than the shield is utterly ridiculous after 1 episode

    I thought it was o.k. Only reason I watched is because its supposed to be based here in Harlan where I live. Will probably watch again this week too, though.

    I watched it and enjoyed it a lot. It's set just south of where I live (Lexington, KY). In fact some of the first episode mentioned Lexington and the surrounding area.

    I love The Shield. Probably one of the 10 best shows of the last decade. But its not like its untouchable television like The Wire or anything.

    I missed the boat on The Shield and there's no way I'm going to have time to watch 7 seasons of it any time soon. I thought Justified was so well done and had such great storytelling, acting and feel to it. It felt like a movie, not a pilot episode. Plus Timothy Olyphant is awesome in everything so that's a plus. How do you not love a character who only shoots people sitting down? In a few years I could definitely see him playing Roland if they ever make Dark Tower movies.

    Well, I found no more repeat showings for this yesterday or today, so if I remember I'll catch the episode tonight. Hopefully it's like The Shield was and had the whole "last week on Justified" scenes.

    Hope I'm not too lost.

    Am I really the only one that's skeptical?

    The premise of the pilot was a bit far fetched, I thought some of the writing was comical and the pace was so fast they squeezed about a season's worth of story lines into one show.

    I do like Olyphant, even though the character is a bit over the top (Jack Bauer-esque), and I will continue to give it a chance. I am just a little more reserved in getting excited about it.

    I agree. Episode seemed really predictable. I'll watch a few more to see where they go with it.

    Really enjoyed the show and will be watching again tonight.

    I've been a big fan of Olyphant since Deadwood - loved that show

    He was ok in Deadwood, I thought he was out of this world in Hitman though. He should have one an oscar for that. I watched the premiere twice and I'm still up in the air on it. It was ok, nothing like the Shield premiere though. I'll watch tonight after lost. Hopefully Hitman bashes some heads in

    I'll have a better opinion of the show once Walton Goggins doesn't make an appearance.

    eh, wasnt sold on last nights episode. good to see that Goggins was just a pawn in FX's scheme to attract every single shield veiwer. and i swear to god, if i hear something to the effect of "can you pull before me?" or "he pulled first" im done watching it. it was said about 4 times last night and another 3 in next weeks preview. give it a fucking break

    Totally agree. It's already getting old. They brought it up with the sniper last night for no reason except to get it in the show.

    How do you know a bad drummer is at your door? The knock speeds up.

    Such a good show. Very well-written and acted. I dont know if people realized that this wasnt one overarching story like The Shield, but I think that's a good thing. I dont know if the Goggins arc could have sustained an entire season.

    Yep, I love this show as well. They all do a great job.

    I knew it wasn't going to be an season long story, but Goggins will definitely be back. His born again thing is only going to last until he's healed, and then he'll break out of jail or something
