Justified: City Primeval

I've only watched ep.1, so these are first impressions. I have read the book.

First off, the protagonist in the book is a city cop, a homicide lieutenant. And he's certainly not dragging his young daughter around with him. The first part of the episode was extraneous, but the last part is fairly faithful to the book, right down to the make and model of the gun used by the bad guy.

So there may be some promise to this show. But we shall see. TV has a storied track record of fucking with and demolishing good source material.

  1. I try, and usually fail, at separating books from their movies/shows.
