Justified: Season 5

5x09 Wrong Roads

The Boyd and Crowe family stuff has been mostly fine. Certainly better than the previous season, at any rate. But this Ava in prison storyline is just so goddamn uninteresting. I don't care about it. This was a year after Orange is the New Black premiered, and it feels like they're trying way too hard to make their own little version of it.

On a related note, it kind of feels like this season has become Boyd's show. Raylan is somewhat in the backseat this time around.

@jasperkazai I started the show way back when it originally aired and dropped it after three seasons, but I've been going through it again for the past few months and I basically agree with all your comments throughout the seasons. The second one is definitely the peak and it's been slowly rolling downhill since.

You've got to laugh at the fact that this season really doesn't even seem to be about Raylan, he just comes in, does the usual "hand on the gun, maybe some casual violence" thing and moves on, while the actual story seems to be Crowder/Crowe.
