Just finished binge watching the entire FX series "Justified" on Amazon Prime [View all]

Never saw it during when it was originally shown, but it must be one of the most violent, profane series to ever appear on non-subscription cable TV.

I also thought it was brilliantly written and totally absorbing, almost reaching the same level of intensity as "The Shield" (also a former FX offering).

Any other recommended law-and-order type series to watch that come close to matching those two shows?
