I'm not sold on the series as a whole yet as Raylan Givens is the primary draw of the show, and I found "Fixer" to be a better episode only because there was more focus on Givens. In the long run, there has to be more than Givens, who is played to near perfection by Timothy Olyphant.
This time around, Givens finds himself looking for Arnold Pinter, a kindred spirit who also wants to get out of town. The details weren't that important. There's two quirky criminal types that are as deadly as they are different. They kidnap Pinter to take his money. One bad guy shoots the other, and the remaining guy manages to shoot Givens before Givens puts him down.
Ava is the only reason why Givens likes the place, and he shows up at her house and they start kissing, violating the ethics rules. I'm not sure if the charm of the show can carry it to the point when it's a must watch. Other than Givens, there's nothing to look forward to.
Score: 8.9/10
