Eight years after he's left Kentucky, Givens is now based in Miami, balancing life as a marshal and part-time father of a 14-year-old girl. A chance encounter on a Florida highway sends him to Detroit and he crosses paths with Clement Mansell, aka The Oklahoma Wildman, a violent sociopath who's already slipped through the fingers of Detroit's finest once and wants to do so again.

I'm so glad I waited a bit after watching 'Justified' to watch this because I know I'd gotten used to the characters in that Kentucky universe and I probably would have ended up comparing the two shows and not enjoying it.

'Justified' is one of the best shows I've ever seen. It was perfection from start to finish and 'Justified: City Primeval' is in the same style. A new set of dodgy characters (and a truly psycho baddie) trying to live a dishonest life and our US Marshal hot on their case. This is an enjoyable show but it isn't on the same level as the original because it is, after all, a mini-series, but nevertheless I enjoyed it. The only annoying bit is the daughter's character but I had plenty of warning about it so I knew not to let it get to me too much. If you enjoyed 'Justified', definitely check it out (I promise it will be worth it) and just make sure you give a little time between the two series.
