Justified is an American television drama series created by Graham Yost based on the fictional character Raylan Givens, a U.S. Marshal, from Elmore Leonard's novels Pronto and Riding the Rap and his short story "Fire in the Hole". The series is set in the city of Lexington, Kentucky and the hill country of Eastern Kentucky, specifically in and around Harlan. Timothy Olyphant stars as the tough, soft-spoken, sexy, southern-bred federal lawman, enforcing his own brand of, at times, extralegal justice.
Justified premiered on March 16, 2010, on the FX network. In Canada, Justified airs on Super Channel. Having, according to Metacritic, garnered "universal acclaim", the show was renewed for a second season, which premiered on February 9, 2011.
Plot
Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens is a 19th century-style, modern-day officer, who enforces his brand of justice which puts a target on his back with criminals and puts him at odds with his superiors in the U.S. Marshals Service. As a result of his having eagerly shot a Miami fugitive in a "justified" shooting in his South Florida assignment, he gets reassigned to the district covering his rural Eastern Kentucky mining hometown of Harlan.
Production

The working title for the series was Lawman. The first episode was referred to as the "Fire in the Hole pilot" during shooting and retains this as the name of the episode itself.
Location
While the pilot was shot in Pittsburgh and suburban Kittanning, Pennsylvania and Washington, Pennsylvania, the subsequent 12 episodes were shot in California. Pittsburgh's David L. Lawrence Convention Center appears on film as the small town "airport" and the construction of the new Consol Energy Center serves as the "new courthouse".
