Justified is the clearest example of the shift of intellectual storytelling high-ground from films to television shows. Justified, like The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Deadwood, Man Men, Breaking Bad, and so many others, have gone to places where modern cinema barely bothers to go or more accurately cannot afford to go. Modern television has, for the past decade or so, largely taken up the role of entertaining grown-ups with intriguing narratives and complex characters. While movies have been busy choking our arteries with super-heroes, TV has kept us on a healthy diet of super-stories.
