20 TV Episodes That Are Practically Flawless
16. Justified - Bloody Harlan
Justified's second season ends with the exquisite Bloody Harlan, a gripping and rich tapestry of character confrontations, betrayals and heartbreak that puts its principal players in their messiest predicament yet.
Following Raylan Givens as he plots to move from the streets of Harlan, only to be dragged into the rapidly escalating war between the Crowder and Bennett families, a twist of fate that changes the entire course of the show.
Quietly tragic and emotionally enveloping, Bloody Harlan benefits from the chilling performances of Timothy Olyphant and a revelatory Margo Martindale, and its poetically neat capper to the tale of Mags Bennett. From this point on, things would never be the same again for Raylan or his foes, for better and for worse.
