JUSTIFIED is a crime drama television series that premiered on March 16, 2010, on the FX network.[2][3]
Developed by Graham Yost, it is based on Elmore Leonard's short story "Fire in the Hole".[Timothy Olyphant portrays Raylan Givens, a tough deputy U.S. Marshal enforcing his own brand of justice, in his hometown of Harlan, County. The series is set in Lexington and in the Appalachian mountains area of eastern Kentucky, specifically in and around Harlan.
Deputy U.S. Marshal. Raylan Givens is something of a 19th-century-style, Old- Wild-West lawman living in modern times, whose unconventional enforcement of justice makes him a target of criminals and a problem child o his U.S.Marshal superior. In response to his controversial but "justified" quick-draw shooting of mob hitman Tommy Bucks in Miami, Givens is reassigned to Lexington, Kentucky. The Lexington Marshals office's jurisdiction includes Harlan County, where Raylan was raised and which he thought he had escaped for good in his youth.
