Justified is one of the best written shows out there. There's a few meh moments, but for the most part it's just amazing even when there's not much going on. You just enjoy 'living' with the characters.

Then you watch H50...lol. They do try. Most shows wouldn't go through the trouble to have at least a few character moments at the start and end. But that's the difference between network and cable TV writing. (and lets not forget diff pressures)
