Review - Justified Season 1 Episode 10 The Hammer

The judge, nicknamed The Hammer and played by Stephen Root, was like the prick who is annoying but totally mesmerizing. He's a judge and acts confident, but underneath it all, he's a total mess. He hands out punishment without regard, causing people to try to kill him, is fine with sex acts in public, and has a weird attitude towards guns and shooting people on the spot. But that fact that the judge loves Raylan so much is rather disturbing to him. Raylan obviously sees that the judge is a bad guy, but if the bad guy likes Raylan, what does that make him?

Boyd had to be up to something and it does seemed like he's changed in his goals, except that killing or hurting people is all fair game. He brings a militant edge to God's word, choosing to go after drug dealers instead of minorities. Maybe he has good intentions compared to what he did before, but Boyd is still breaking laws and Raylan has to grab him.

Ava realizes the contradiction of Raylan going after Boyd but wanting her away, which is practical, but looks like Raylan wants to catch Boyd more than being with Ava. She walks out and Raylan is left there alone.

Score: 9.2/10
