One opinion: http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/the-10-all-time-best-episodes-of-justified-20150414
I enjoyed all of Season Two, but perhaps my favorite episode came the following year:
Season 3, Episode 5 - “Thick As Mud”
With the Bennetts gone (though Jeremy Davies’ Dickie continues to make winning occasional cameos, mostly from a prison cell), fans went into Season 3 expecting something of a step-down: could Raylan possibly find an adversary as memorable as Mags?
Cue a huge sigh of relief once Season 3 arrived. It wasn’t as perfectly plotted as its predecessor, but it came damn close, and in Neal McDonough’s seemingly slick, secretly unstable carpetbagger Robert Quarles (along with the welcome, uneasy presence of Mykelti Williamson’s Limehouse) found another terrific bad guy to anchor the show.
It was another great run of episodes, but the season’s highlight is probably its most atypical: “Thick As Mud,” which focused on one of the show’s breakout comic characters Dewey Crowe (played by Australian actor Damon Herriman).
Initially one of Boyd’s neo-Nazi followers, Dewey was undoubtedly the dumbest criminal in a show that uses that archetype regularly, but proved strangely lovable for it, and received his greatest showcase here in an episode where he’s busted out of jail by a sinister prison nurse who tells him that he’s taken his kidneys and he’s got to rustle up $20,000 to return them.
That his kidneys are still in place hasn’t even occurred to our idiot anti-hero (“you mean I had four kidneys!?” he hilariously exclaims when he realizes that he’s still able to pee), and he goes on a crime spree that’s increasingly frustrated by an inability to find cash in a word where everyone pays on plastic.
A gloriously funny caper that still manages to move the overarching plot forward (Quarles and Boyd have their first chilly meeting), it might not be the show’s most powerful hour, but was definitely one of the most entertaining.
I agree -- great finale. I will miss the show too.
