"Good Intentions" is the third episode of the fifth season of the American Neo-Western[1] television series Justified. It is the 55th overall episode of the series and was written by supervising producer Benjamin Cavell and directed by Dean Parisot. It originally aired on FX on January 21, 2014.
The series is based on Elmore Leonard's stories about the character Raylan Givens, particularly "Fire in the Hole", which serves as the basis for the episode. The series follows Raylan Givens, a tough deputy U.S. Marshal enforcing his own brand of justice. The series revolves around the inhabitants and culture in the Appalachian Mountains area of eastern Kentucky, specifically Harlan County where many of the main characters grew up. In the episode, Raylan is king for a day in the seized mansion of a notorious mob accountant, while Boyd tries to regain his stranglehold on the Harlan heroin market.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 2.50 million household viewers and gained a 0.9 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received positive reviews from critics, who praised the ending although some expressed insatisfaction at the main plot and lack of progress in the plot.
