Justified: City Primeval turned Justified’s dark humor into plain old darkness
30.08.2023 - 15:07 / polygon.com / Keith David
The original run of Justified opens with Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens blowing away a gunrunner at a swanky Miami rooftop pool after goading him into drawing first. When an internal affairs investigation opens up around his actions and Raylan is forced to return to Kentucky, Timothy Olyphant gets to perfect his comic timing, assuring anyone around the office who asks him that the shooting was, in fact, justified.
Justified: City Primeval, on the other hand, flips the script: as Deputy Givens is driving his troubled daughter Willa to a discipline-oriented summer camp, their car is rear-ended and father and daughter alike are approached by two men with a revolver. He gets the best of these small fries, of course, but something’s immediately different: Raylan — and his daughter — are in a type of palpable danger that never existed in the original series. The tone shift from “playful cowboy breaks the rules and always gets his man” to “concerned father aggressively pulls a shotgun from his trunk” is stark. We do get a bit of the ol’ Raylan razzle-dazzle shortly after in a courtroom as he tries to explain to a Detroit judge why he locked the two fugitives in a hot car while he and his daughter ate lunch, but that scene (and Keith David as Judge Alvin Guy) make it clear that the Givens charm is powerless in this new environment. It’s a heel turn for the show: City Primeval isn’t here to joke around.

When Justified debuted in 2010, Olyphant had already anchored three seasons of Deadwood, which still exists as one of the most literary prestige television dramas 17 years after it was canceled. Instead of mirroring that show’s construction with extended dialogue-free sequences to show a character’s moral dubiousness (like E.B. Farnum sneaking around to play both sides of a conflict), Justified had more in common with procedural, episodic basic cable shows like Burn Notice. That is to say, if Justified wanted you to know someone was an asshole, Raylan Givens would turn to Chief Deputy Art Mullen and say, “That guy? He’s an asshole.”
City Primeval, on the other hand, wants to be taken more seriously without really knowing how to pull it off. The show likes to linger on characters’ faces to show the quiet contemplation of an internal struggle. But this is a miniseries without enough time to dedicate to rich backstories; when attorney Carolyn Wilder (Aunjanue Ellis) is brooding outside of her house over an IRS lien in her ex-husband’s name, we don’t have the benefit of knowing their history. Sure, we can infer some troubled past based on a brief, previous interaction, but scenes like this lack the weight (and character development) they need to be truly impactful.
With an attempt at a more serious

A Haunting in Venice turns an Agatha Christie mystery into Scooby-Doo (and it rules)
Actor-director Kenneth Branagh is clearly having the best time with his Hercule Poirot movies. The latest, A Haunting in Venice, marks Branagh and screenwriter Michael Green’s third take on Agatha Christie’s iconic detective, after 2017’s Murder on the Orient Express and 2022’s Death on the Nile. It’s also the loosest adaptation of the three of them by far. In the new movie, Branagh breaks all the adaptation rules. He smashes genres together. He goes fully over the top, which is exactly the direction that his Christie adaptations have been rolling toward. Branagh finally breaks free, making A Haunting in Venice the best entry in the series to date.
