I was discussing this with a friend of mine the other day -- we were talking about the way violence on "Justified" has so much more of an impact, not because it's more gory or bloody or graphic, but the reverse, it's because of how it's shot and cut: it's just plain shocking. They either build up the tension with awareness of the situation, with the dialogue mounting between the characters in this folksy, story-telling kind of way where one of the characters knows what's going on and maybe the other is completely oblivious to the gun hidden behind the other's back until BLAM! violence. Except, they don't show blood or guts or anything, just the person going down. The violence is in the capping off of all the tension.

Or, alternately, the violence happens so suddenly, so out of the blue, the audience is taken unprepared, and that is the shock. But either way, not a lot of gore. No tender, loving pans of guts spilling to the ground or whatever.

Personally, I think Justified does a terrific job of pushing the envelope and showing why violence is so troubling to begin with -- it's in the impulses between human beings.

I've never seen Justified, but as a fan of the 'less is more' doctrine, I'm glad to hear there's a show that hasn't jumped on the gore bandwagon. Honestly, very little of the graphic violence or sex I've seen on TV or in movies did anything for the story at all. So good for Justified.
