Suspended from the Marshals Service, feeling like he has nothing to lose, Raylan faces off with the gangsters who are muscling his ex-wife's new husband. Written by FX Publicity
If there's an argument to be made for Raylan as a thug with a badge, its roots are sown in 'Hatless'. The man spends a forced vacation straightening out the situation with his ex-wife's husband and threatening debt-collectors. He also finds himself on the losing end of a bar fight, although he was being chivalrous. His reasons for charging around town are noble enough to validate his methods, and he's helping out the right people. Plus, he does get his hat back, so it all works out.
Well written and stocked with great talent, this is a taut, satisfying episode. And it showcases Jere Burns as the psychotic Wynn Duffy, an enforcer who's far more interested in inflicting pain than actually producing results. He really brings that character to life.
It seems like such a gimmick episode with Raylan losing his hat and no Harlan drama, but this is one of my very favorites.
10/10
