Season two of cable network FX's newbie drama Justified is so close, we can taste the chewin' tabacca already. We decided to go ahead and ramp up that anticipation a little further by drawing the reader's attention to the teaser trailer for season "dos."
But first, a quick overview of the show for those who may have, for whatever reason, been hiding under a rock and not fulfilling your television-watching duties as an American. Based on the novels of Elmore Leonard, the show follows the travels, trials and bullet casings of US Marshall Rayland Givens. Reassigned to his backwoods hometown after shooting mobster Tommy Bucks in cold blood ( who was given 48 hours to leave town, only fair), Givens finds himself up to his stylish, wide-brimmed Stetson in the criminal element. The only logical course left to him is to go about dispensing gritty, gun-slinging justice.
The minute and a half trailer is a recap of season one, full of signature scenes and one-liners from Rayland. Our favorite is the an exchange between Rayland and an unfortunate thug he happened to get the drop on: "Next time I see you, I'll kill you." "Isn't that the line you used on Tommy Bucks?" "Yes. How'd that work out for him?"
We'd like to offer specific kudos to whomever picked the song ("Little Lovin" by an artist named Lissie: alliteration win). The music is a sort of cross between honky tonk and folk rock that at once sets the tone and brings the package together, tying it all up neatly with a bow of gritty, Southern bad-assery.
We're looking forward to more shooting, more intrigue, and more gallows wit in the second season. FX hasn't let us down before, we doubt they will now. Are you hearing us, FX? Do right by us, or we'll shoot you. With mind bullets.
