The Creator of 'Justified' Answers Your Questions With its colorful mix of dry humor, graphic violence and twisted characters, FX's "Justified" is one of the few Elmore Leonard-inspired projects that has managed to capture some of the flair of the author's crackling prose. The series returns for its fourth season on FX on Jan. 8. The crime drama, set in Kentucky, stars Timothy Olyphant as a mercurial lawman, and has won praise for its evocative atmosphere and for performances by Mr. Olyphant, Walton Goggins and others. Margo Martindale won an Emmy in 2011 for her turn as a matronly crime boss. This season will include Patton Oswalt, a longtime "Justified" fan, in a recurring role as a constable. Graham Yost, the creator and show runner, has agreed to answer questions from Times readers about "Justified" as the new season approaches. Share your queries in the comments below; we will pose a selection of them to Mr. Yost and post his responses here next week, before the season premiere.
