Things are about to erupt on Justified.
Here is our review of the latest episode, “Noblesse Oblige!”
This episode is about secrets, lies.
Katherine Hales out for vengeance, and likely will topple nearby dominoes Wynn, Boyd and Ava.
Everyone and everything seems far removed from each other.
If one seeks privacy to hatch and implement misdeeds once thought clever, then thats great.
Its a dangerous game with a digital clock attached to explosives, and Avas running out of time.
Shes being squeezed into the middle with unflattering options of betrayal, jail time, or death.
Boyd is clever and driven by greed.
His lackeys follow him because theyve nothing better to do.
Ava was the obvious replacement to scout out the pizza parlor that was previously a bank.
No such thing will happen in Boyds mind.
Pull the camera back to a wide shot and it feels like a waltz.
Boyd is a local bogeyman, but Avery seems to be a more treacherous villain.
The terms have been set, the players identified, and the battle will take place.
This episode had good tension.
The slower than normal pace allowed viewers to crawl inside the story.
Avery enjoys emotional and mental torture as an initial threat.
The removal of limbs, gouging of eyes, or death a next-level lesson to be taught.
Who will you bet on?
