I've just read that one of my favourite TV shows to come out of America 'Justified' is going to be coming back for a third series, YAY!
According to Variety:
" Two top-notch, under appreciated cable dramas make their return on Jan. 17, in an unfortunate head-to-head pairing..."
Southland,which has been described by Variety as:
"...The best drama on TNT..."
This is for all people who like me have not been watching this is it gives a raw and gritty look of LA and the LAPD, the first series looked at the relationship between patrol Officer Ben Sherman (who you will no doubt recognize from 'The OC' who played Ryan Atwood), and his training officer John Cooper who is played by Michael Cudlitz, and this new series sees the fallout from Officer John Cooper's confrontation of his addiction to painkillers. Also this second series sees two new characters in the form of Lucy Liu and Lou Diamond Philips.
Lucy Liu plays Officer John Cooper new partner that he has been assigned with and Lou Diamon Philips (I just thought if you don't recognise this name then I'll fill in the blanks, he was in the film 'La Bamba) plays a veteran policeman who has cavalier views on 'Letting the animals kill each other' come into direct conflict with Officer Ben Sherman.
'Justified', though has added a lot more to their already great list of cast members.
If though you aren't a huge fan of this TV series like me, I will try and help fill in the blanks.
Timothy Olyphant (you may recognise him from movies such as Hitman, Die Hard 4.0 and Gone in 60 seconds,-this role though in 'Gone in 60 seconds' was smaller than the other two mentioned films as he was the assistant policeman to Detective Roland Castlebeck who was after Nicolas Cage and his crew who were forced to steal all those cars).
In Justified he plays Deputy U.S Marshal Rayland Givens who has more of a wild west approach to dealing with today's law...which causes some what of a problem today's society, and it also creates a problem for his bosses in the U.S Marshal Service. On a an assignment in Florida, a fugitive gets shot in Miami and he therefore gets relocated to Lexington, Kentucky district which just so happens to have in this same district his hometown of Harlen,-everyone here hates him-.
If your like me and are a huge fan of this brilliant series then you will have probably seen the end to series 2 where Mags killed herself, so as you can imagine this creates a bit of a headache for writers as who do you replace her with as the top baddie in this series...and I just thought that you also need to replace the other members of the Bennett's family as one of the drug dealing brothers of this family is dead and the corrupt Bennett cop got shot.
But thankfully these shoes have already been filled by Neal McDonough who was in Desperate Housewives as the guy who had hallucinations of his dead wife and child, Mykelti Williamson he plays the mayor in CSI: New York and there will be a guest appearance from Pruitt Taylor Vince, he was most recently in The Mentalist playing the guy who was in charge of the investigation into what happened when a suspect in a police killer died by going up in flames in the police cells, and you may also recognise him from the film Constantine as the priest who died in a liquor store after being possed by Balthazar who was a demon working on trying to get the son of the devil into today's society. .
