Dark streaks aside, Justified is also, as you'd expect from Leonard (and writer Graham Yost, formerly of Boomtown), a funny show, with taut dialogue and a distinct sense of place.

The rooms can be a bit small, especially compared to your friends’ suites in the Quad or your linkmates’ rooms in Adams. But the housing gets better (Lowell is certainly no Winthrop). Next year, Lowell will be taking over a floor of DeWolfe, so sophomores will also have that option. Eventually, if you are looking...
