I was sooo happy to see Boyd!!!! I know characters have to evolve but i really missed the old Raylan and definately Boyd. They really made the show as a duo. I think if they do a season 2, they need to bring elements from the previous series and characters and maximize on that. The storylines are endless, for sure. I wouldn't mind Raylan taking on an Art role but the firecracker version of Art. Im gonnaa need him to shoot more people too🤣🤣🤣

Damn poor Raylan. Downgraded from Winona and Ava to that lawyer...ouch.

I think that when he finally closed the book on Clement and figured out just how deep the corruption was in the DPD, he really was done. I think he came to understand that he couldn't keep doing what he was doing how he was used to doing it and be a great father to Willa. I genuinely believe his intent was to avoid the kind of dynamic that he had with Arlo. So when he's out on the boat and he gets the call that Boyd broke out...I think he lets it ring. The totality of all that he has done is to be considered here and that's why I believe this retirement is final. He can't risk another go with Boyd and chance things going his way again. It's someone else's problem now, not his.

I really think, Raylan’s thoughts we’re more of confusion. Basically he asked the question in episode 6, how does a pure shit bird get so lucky over and over again? Mansell was not smart or driven as other criminals he’s faced, but always seemingly to walk away.

Wow, you actually missed the point of the ending. The story Detective Raymond Cruz tells is the same ending as Raylan's, aka shooting an unarmed man. Raylan is not the same person and is devoted to his daughter now more than the job. He won't pursue Boyd either because of the fears shared by Detective Raymond Cruz.

The last 20 minutes should have been the opening to the series. SPOILERS BELOW: Imagine if the show started with Raylan at the table and Mansell walks in. He shoots him. Then it cuts to him retired. The interaction with Winona and Willa on the boat. Then it cuts to Boyd escaping with the officer. That’s how you open a revival show! Then he talks or has a few flashbacks about what happened in Detroit (like he did with Tommy Bucks in the original show)… then the series could have been about Rachel asking Raylan to help them catch Boyd and he has to take him down the whole 8 episodes! Man, it would have been amazing.

Show felt like it was about the female lawyer and Raylan was her sidekick

I LOVED that draw on Clement. I think it played out so well with the lack of ceremony/melodrama. He was a delusional narcissist, and you could just tell that he wasn’t thinking at all about consequences. I think he just assumes everyone is on his same page, and the idea of Raylan not understanding his intentions when he reached for the tape hadn’t even crossed his mind.

I think the main reason Raylan quit was because he killed a man for the first time and it wasn't completely justified. The question Raylan asked himself was did he kill Mansell because he had to or because he wanted to. And in the end the answer is he wanted to. Raylan always took pride in being better than his father and he realized that he can be just as bad as him. That combined with his age made him walk away from the job that defined who he is.

You know Willa is gonna marry Boyd's kid. It's Romeo and Juliet Kentucky style!

I love Justified amazing

My God i loveee winona

Best opening for a return show ever!!! Raylan gets carjacked...turns the tables on them...STILL goes to lunch with his daughter, leaves bad guys baking in the hot sun in a locked car with classic line, "I gave them orange slushies"... AND THEN NOTHING UNTIL THE FINALE!!! WHY??? WHY??? WHY??? SO BORING. I assume Raylan quits because he knew he'd tainted his badge taking out Clinton and covering for the dirty lawyer he was sleeping with...certainly, with her page of debts/payments torn from the murdered Judge's ledger before turning it in...now she's a judge...but Raylan knows it was dirty...and he dirtied himself helping. Thus, retires. BUT THEN BOYD!!!

I didn't know anyone needed an explanation.

Have you ever served? As in worked a job in Service to the public? Military, law enforcement anything? I would guess no. I would guess that you have never lived on the other side of the law either? At least the people in the comments understand Raylan's motivations better. I guess that'll do.

Instead of this show centering around Raylan and how he interacts with the world around him like in the original, this feels more like Raylan being a featured guest star on a show that adjusts to the narrative of the show. However, I still enjoyed seeing him in a big city, I got tired of Kentucky towards season 5 of the original show.

WHYD YOU HAVE TO GO AND SHOOT ME CHICKENFAT!

The thing that got me about this show was every Detroit cop but one treating Raylan like a rookie, one and two Mansell making threats on pet crippling folks and no one snatching him up. Uhmm not real

I wondered if Clement was really a bad guy. He never really killed anyone “decent”. Mostly other criminals. That death scene felt like there was something we just missed learning from him. Who knows.

Highly overrated Season, but Boyd's return forebodes an potentially excellent follow-up season.

Once I saw Boyd I jumped out my seat with excitement and actually thought for a minute clement survived and was going to end up in the same hospital as Boyd , but Boyd breaking out is better. Timothy olphant was great as always but the cast, mostly the Detroit cops were pathetic . And I really thought Raylen was gonna get into shit for shooting unarmed clement but I'm guessing the video of killing everyone in the nursing home and breaking into a DA's house kinda ruins the whole unarmed thing. Really thought "great even justified is going down the all cops are bad and trigger happy hole c'mon " when clement pulled out the cassette tape.

As a hardcore Justified fan I will say this up front. I was disappointed in Primeval from ep 1 through 8 just didn't have the feel and felt it was pretty much pointless.

Sorry but I was disappointed with this season . I will watch next season but this was a bust .Again sorry.

Boydddddd🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

What a letdown, there were some good moments but did not live up to the original series.

City Primeval should have had nothing to do with Raylan Givens and would have been better served as a thought provoking, yet depressing TV movie . Instead they forced Raylan who slept walked through a bizarre boring season of Justified that lacks almost all the wit, humor, or entertainment of the original. The Detroit climax was anti-climatic and unsatisfying. What a waste. You know it's bad when the best part of the series is the epilogue of the finale.

Whats that boud will not return ...thats what you said... Liessss 😮😮😂🎉🎉🎉

Justified: Primeval City was utter and total hot garbage!! And they only brought Boyd back to jangle keys. I hate what they did to Raylan. Thank goodness, I can cleanse my palette with classic Justified.

Watched the series, but Raylan wasn’t Raylan. Hope Coggins can elevate the show and Raylan can get back to his old self. Otherwise, I will stop watching!

Boring nonsense. Thank god that's over. It's pretty bad when the best part of the entire season of a show is the last 10 min of its final episode.

Another great series and another great character destroyed by woke garbage..........

Not at the same level as the old one. Got bored even in the first episode. Too much non-sense.

Sad. Horrible abandonment of the original series with none if the original cast or chemistry. Primeval inserts female leads, the daughter and the atty, who are unlikable. Hoooooowwwwww many times have we seen them kill a series with an unlikable female cgaracter?

Did Raylan trans yet to a woman?

I didnt watch it. As a true justified fan it looked horrible. No family's. No back woofs justice. Its a shame they truned the show down the wrong path. Its origin is original soo.... Why base it off a book????

I didn't like Raylen, Carolyn relationship. Grossed me out!
