In every respect, Andron and Dinner’s show is an ideal blend of the then and now, and that proves true all the way through to its finale, whose late surprises are so perfectly, satisfyingly thrilling that one can only hope they’re confirmation that this reboot is the start of a new, long-running Raylan Givens return engagement.

The idea to situate him in a new world—one derived from a Leonard novel in which Raylan isn’t even a character—keeps him interesting and surprising. .... There’s something moving, and maybe rare, about watching two actors in their 50s [Ellis and Olyphant] and with decades of experience find that crackle together.

Sometimes the villain impresses, sometimes they are just there. Mansell is caught in some kind of no man’s land that is neither believable nor terrifying. .... Still, we have Olyphant’s Givens in middle age, and that’s more than enough. .... There’s enough false endings and misdirection in “Justified: City Primeval” to suggest we’ll never know if Raylan Givens gets a happy ending. And that seems like justice.

Just seeing Timothy Olyphant locked and loaded again as Raylan Givens will probably be enough for fans of “Justified,” but the FX revival subtitled “City Primeval” more than justifies the encore. Featuring an older Givens with more to lose facing off against a truly nasty bad guy, the eight-part series overcomes a few clunkier elements to deliver the expected shoot-from-the-hip charms.

Despite the work of a number of the old “Justified” crew, including the writer-producers Dave Andron and Michael Dinner, and an accomplished new cast, “City Primeval” — though handsomely filmed, well acted and ample in its emotions and its violent action — feels, ultimately, like a simulacrum. The body looks good, but a large part of the soul is missing.

Feels tired. Olyphant looks tired. All these tropes and stereotypes have been done to the death. However this is nothing compared to the utter stupidity of the plot and the motivations of the token bad guy Clement. It just reminds us that Peak TV was 10 years ago
