justified

I wanted to recap season three of Justified.  I liked it a lot, but I didn't love it like I did season two.  Part of my problem is that I watched it with my 95 year-old grandmother.  I go over to her house once a week, and we have dinner and a movie or watch a TV show.  She actually really liked season one and two of Justified, but she struggled a bit with season three.  The violence seemed to be kicked up a notch, which I don't mind, but she had a problem with.  She also has difficulty following the story, so I had to stop it after just about every scene and explain to her what was going on.  That was really hard, since it was a particularly complicated plot.  There were quite a few throwbacks to old characters from previous seasons, which added to the explaining.  Yeah, it was hard to explain what was going on. 

I loved Carla Gugino, Maggie Lawson, Jim Beaver, Kaitlyn Dever and William Mapother's turns on the show.  They were all really good.  Personally I would love it if Natalie Zea didn't come back.  I know she's going to be on a new show next year on Fox, and they totally wrote Winona into a corner.  I don't like her character, and think Raylan should be single.  Hopefully that will happen.  With that said, I really love Eva and Boyd together.  They are really evolving into a power couple.  I love how they are bad, but still kinda good people.  Lots of moral ambiguity there.

Yeah, there was some heavy stuff this season.  I really did like it.  I just think I need to watch it again uninterrupted.  I am looking forward for season four for sure.  =)
