Since the premiere of the series in 2010, Justified has remained one of the most underrated gems on television today due to an unbelievably talented cast and intelligent writing.  The second season still stands as the current highlight of the series thanks to Margo Martindale's amazing portrayal of Mags Bennett, but the third season adds several dynamic new characters to the fold resulting in the excellent program fans have come to expect.

Season three begins three weeks after the showdown with the Bennett clan.  Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant, The Crazies) is back on the job yet still recovering from his gunshot wound leaving his sharpshooting skills ineffective.  The lone survivor of the Bennett clan, Dickie Bennett (Jeremy Davies, Lost), finds himself stuck in prison unable to recover the inheritance left by his mother.  Longtime criminal and Raylan's main rival Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins, The Shield) gets himself thrown in jail as an attempt to get to Dickie.  Unbeknownst to practically everyone, Mags kept the majority of her money under the watchful eye of the leader of Noble's Holler - Ellstin Limehouse (Mykelti Williamson, best remembered as Bubba from Forrest Gump).  As if Raylan wasn't busy enough, the main foe this season is Robert Quarles (Neal McDonough, Band of Brothers), a crony from the Detroit mafia sent to muscle in on the criminal landscape of Kentucky.
