Ratings Review: JUSTIFIED (Season Five)

Just after the this fifth season began, it was released that the 2015 season would be JUSTIFED's last. this was a decision made by Graham Yost and star Timothy Olyphant, the series' developer and star, respectively. I wonder if the decision was made because of the downward turn of the storyline of the series?

Don't get me wrong, I love this series. I have watched every episode produced, but this season did have a bit of a let down, compared to the previous three. It seemed to lack the focus that seasons 2 through 4 had. This is still a very good series. But, just didn't have the attention grabbing drama of previous seasons.

For the 13 episode season, JUSTIFIED averaged 2.29 million viewers and a 0.8 rating in Adults 18-49. Hopefully season six will be epic as the story lines come to a close and give us the best season of the series.
