What a buildup to the finale, I was worried when last season wavered a bit but what a return to form at the crucial time.

Sam Elliott has been fecking brilliant this season too.

Hope Raylan shoots the smile off Boone's face.

I watched this unto mid-season 4 I think. Always liked it and really can't remember why I stopped watching other than not having Netflix anymore but that isn't it I don't think.

Will make an effort to get back into this as I really like Olyphant.

Great finale, might have peaked a little too early in the episode but everybody got the sendoff they deserved.

Eagerly awaiting the announcement of the spinoff series "Live to Wynn".

Shit this is over now?

I need to watch the final two seasons. I heard reports that the final season was a little slow, without any spoilers are the final two seasons up to Justified's high standards?

What's Justified? Sounds like it's worth a look … and how come this one seems to have passed me by?
Absolutely recommend it, honestly think it has the best character interactions and dialogue I've seen in any show since The Wire ended. First half of Season 1 is a bit of a slog, but once it starts having an overarching narrative rather than self-contained episodes, it hits stride in a big way.

Taking the next corner instead of Jones!

Cheers! Well I checked and I've got access to all six seasons … looks like that's my entertainment sorted for the foreseeable!

It was the best end that I witnessed for a serie, with a real closure.

Great final season although I'm sad to see come to an end.

I’ve just finished season 2 of this. Season 1 was decent, but season 2 was a clear step up in terms of writing and storyline. Olyphant is great. Can’t wait for season 3.

Season 4 of this was one of the best series of a tv show I’ve seen.

And I'm all out of bubblegum.
Why? It had a decent and satisfactory ending and it wasn’t even that great after season 2.
It had its ups and downs, relatively speaking, but it was still very good. I kinda share your reaction, but then Justified isn't like The Leftovers or Breaking Bad to me, which really had definitive endings that don't need expanding on. Though they did find two different ways of expanding on Breaking Bad, so I guess that says something.

Woohoo!
It wasn’t even the best season of the series. Margo Martindale is the best antagonist in the show that measured up to Olyphant’s protagonist.
Season 2 was excellent but season 4 was the best so far for me.

In fact, seasons 2,3,4 were all great. The weakest were season 5 and 1, although 1 had the hard job of setting everything up.

Currently on ep 3 of season 6.

Wow just finished this. That season finale got me proper emotional. What a fantastic series. Loved it. Those last lines of dialogue between Boyd and Raylan was just so brilliantly done.

Really conflicted on this. Love the series but don't know how well this would work without Boyd. Meaning they'd either somehow have to bullshit him out of prison, or else go all Hannibal Lecter on it with Raylan visiting him for advice in prison.
