Celebrated crime novelist Elmore Leonard's work has been adapted to screens big and small and produced hits that include "3:10 to Yuma" and Quentin Tarantino's "Jackie Brown." However, in 2010, one standout Leonard character would come to the small screen to lead a series on FX that the author himself would call it the best on-screen adaptation of any of his works: Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens.
Led by Timothy Olyphant, who had previously dazzled audiences for three seasons as a wild Western lawman on HBO's "Deadwood," the FX series was an instant hit. It didn't take long for the series to earn critical praise for known for its talented ensemble cast, thrilling action, high tension, and impeccable neo-noir crime stories. Centered on the maverick marshal, the series chronicles Givens' attempts at redemption after returning home to a small coal-mining town in Harlan County, Kentucky, where he reunites with his estranged family and gets entangled in the criminal activity of one-time friend Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins).
Across six spectacular seasons, audiences watched as Givens navigated the surprisingly complex world of Harlan County, where the ordinary rules do not apply. Each season offered up a new diabolical villain and put Givens' sharp-shooting and detective skills to the test. While there are no losers in its run, we've tried to rank each season from "worst" to best. We can't blame you if you'd order them differently, though, as each year could easily snag the number one position. Which one tops our list, though? Scroll on to find out.
