"The deeper struggle in season six," says Matt Zoller Seitz, "is the struggle for the soul of Harlan County — and it's here that the show's Western- and gangster-film mythologies subtly blend to create something that is, for Justified, quite unexpected: social commentary. There's a low-level sense of continual upheaval: The world is changing, but the people are unwilling or unable to change with it. The characters are intoxicated by nostalgia and legend, but the show itself sees through them, even though its constant invocation of Kentucky's past as a mining economy and the loving shots of dilapidated shacks and covered bridges suggest otherwise. Modernity is growing over tradition like kudzu, and from the very start, Justified has been hip to this process."
