I finally finished streaming "Justified" on Hulu. I can stop craving
fried chicken, drinking bourbon at divey bars and having nightmares
about coal mines now, I suppose.

I found it interesting that of the two main characters, one is from the
South, the other was born in Hawaii.

Now, there's a time-jumped series called "Justified: City Primeval" to
watch...

That was one great show overall, although there was a season or two in
the middle that were not as good as others. I miss it, but have most of
it on DVD now.

I found it interesting that of the two main characters, one is from
the South, the other was born in Hawaii.

I assume you mean where the actors are from? I had no idea where they
were actually from.

Being a Kentuckian, what I found interesting was their depiction of the
cities in the area. In an early episode, they showed what was supposed
to be an outside scene in Lexington. Lexington is our second-largest
city, and looks like a city, but they made it look more like Frankfort or
some other small river town.

Later, they had a few scenes where a member of the Cornbread Mafia was at
his desk in an office looking out over a bunch of sky scrapers. That
scene looked at most like Louisville, but was supposed to be the Capital
-- Frankfort. At the time, Frankfort only had *one* building over 12
stories tall, and it was imploded several years ago now.

Now, there's a time-jumped series called "Justified: City Primeval" to watch...

This one is not nearly as good as the original. Without giving any
spoilers, Raylan seems dumber (sometimes a lot dumber!) and most of the
new charaters are not too likeable, whether they should be or not. In
the original, there were times you found yourself pulling for Boyd even
though he was the bad guy. The best part of the new one is the end of the final episode (and no, not just because that meant it was over!).

I did not see it on streaming, but when they showed it on FX after it had streamed. People who streamed it say it was better because you can watch
it "like a movie" and the story flows better.

I would still suggest watching it, though.

I imagined that the city pronunciations were correct. Loovuhl and
lessnton?

My wife insists that she lived in Tronno - you know, the city in
Ontario, Canada?

I think it's interesting that in the North American accent, people often don't pronounce the second "T" in a word. People often say "Atlanna" (for Atlanta), and might also swallow the first T as well. I don't know how that started, but when thinking about it, it just seems wrong..

Louisvillians do pronounced their city name that way, but I don't
remember the show doing so. I have never heard anyone pronounce
Lexington that way. A few might drop the 'g' but most seem to pronounce
it the way it is spelled. To my recollection, the show did also.

I lived in Louisville a long time and always pronounced it Loo-eee-ville
since it is named after King Loo-eee of France. Most Loovuhlians/Loo-a-vuhlians think I pronounce it wrong.

If you see it again, listen to Art, the chief deputy.
