Is there anything a modern-day binge-watcher loves more than coming across an unwatched series with a handful of seasons and plenty of episodes? It’s doubtful. Well, FX’s silent but deadly Justified is a series with a decent marathon commitment your radar might have missed.

Based on a short story by Elmore Leonard (who later wrote a book based on the series), Justified follows Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant), a U.S. Marshal who borrows his law enforcement from the 19th Century Old West in modern America. His tactics land him reassignment to his hometown in Kentucky, where his Old West-style isn’t so wild.

In its six-season run, Justified racked up eight Emmy Award nominations, ultimately snagging two trophies for Margo Martindale and Jeremy Davies’ memorable guest starring roles. With six seasons and 78 episodes of unlawful neo-western drama, Justified has your bingeing needs covered.
