Did they purposefully try to ruin this character, Raylan Givens, and annoy his fans? My guess is yes.
I loved the original show, depicting Raylan as a modern day Wyatt Earp, sort of an outlaw gunfighter turned into lawman in a wild west town. Nope. Tim Olyphant portrays this character like a smiling goofball who has no style or tact. How disappointing. Also, the obvious poke in the eye to perceived racism by making Raglan a sideshow while a large cast of people of color take over left me wondering if I was watching B.E.T.
