Erica Tazel (Firefly / "Safe") on Justified.
Erica Tazel from the Firefly episode Safe plays Depury Marshal Rachel Brooks on FX's Justified.
It's been bugging me - where had I seen the actress playing that young, black, female Marshal on Justified? Well, she played the nurse in the religious colony in Firefly's episode Safe. Not a regular Firefly cast member, but pivotal enough that I thought she deserved a mention.
Now she's on another adventure / ensemble show with tangled relationships. Consider Justified as Firefly without the space ships. I'm still amazed at the consistent quality of talent coming through Whedon productions. I'd follow the career of just about anybody who worked on a Whedon show - even "Third thug from the left."

Justified is probably the best show airing on TV right now.

Now we need another Whedon alumni in Lights Out, just so we can talk about those really good shows here.

Unfortunately, the first two episodes of Season Two were extremely grim and had less of the humor that lightens the tone most weeks, so they weren't a good introduction for new viewers checking it out.

I stumbled on Justified just like I stumbled on Firefly. So, same.
Justified got a launch and promo campaign and network support and blah, blah, blah. (Largely choice of network, I think.) So, different.
Both remind me of real life more than most other shows. I'm from Appalachian hill country, so not so much money, but lots of getting by, and clans, and guns (occasionally), and critters and found family under duress, and you make your own fun, usually and justice sometimes.
So, same but different, but same.

Makes me wonder, has Joss ever been on "Fresh Air"? He'd be a great interview.

Great show, followed along from the start. Two or three episodes back with the ball-peen hammer and the scene between Raylan and the little girl at the end was a nigh perfect episode of television IMO.
