[Brian in Mesa]

A new miniseries taking inspiration from the Elmore Leonard novel City Primeval: High Noon in Detroit.

So in. Huge fan of Justified (and anything by Elmore Leonard).

I was a big fan of Justified, but this feels...sad.

Enjoying this so far. City Primeval was printed in 1980. Meaning he wrote this in the seventies. Some of the scenes I know have been written to modern sensibilities. Just think about a southern guy wearing a cowboy hat in Detroit in the seventies. That's a whole different world than today. Black and white people weren't that chummy, I am guessing.

I was a big fan of the original series, so much so I named my dog after Raylan. This series sucks bad. The main bad guy is a cartoon. His daughter is beyond annoying. Every scene with her is excruciating.

And to top it off, they force Raylan into an interracial relationship with an actress who was a clear miscast to play a believable love interest for him. To be clear, I have no problem with Raylan having an interracial love interest, but there no way his character would go for the actress they cast. She's a fine actress, but it's not believable considering what we know about Raylan. There are plenty of actresses who would've fit the bill.

This series is a massive disappointment. I don't think I'll finish.
