Why are we on his side? Thats because over the course of four seasons, Boyd Crowder, as played by the brilliant Walton Goggins, has become perhaps the most multifacetedand appealingantihero on television this side of Breaking Bads Walter White. On a good week, like this one, Justified is one of televisions best dramas, and one of the most flat-out entertaining ways to spend 47 minutes with your clothes on. And Boyd Crowder is the main reason for that.
Indeed, last seasons best episode of Justified, Decoy, was largely a love letter to Boyd. Throughout the episode, Detroit gangster Nicky Augustine, played with charming detachment by Mike OMalley, plays emcee and reminds us what we love about Harlans most infamous outlaw.
Youre a well dressed man, Nicky begins, youve got a sense of style. And that alone goes a long way on television. With his ultra-pearly whites, perpetually untamed hair and a pocket watch sometimes dangling from his vest pocket, Boyd looks sharp, especially by Harlan County standards. But he talks even sharper.
I love the way you talk, using 40 words when four will do, Augustine marvels. Im gonna need a Google translator on my phone if Im gonna keep talking to you.
