What to Watch If You Love the Country Genre: 3 Country-Law Police TV Series
Fire Country
Co-created by Max Thieriot, Tony Phenal and Joan Rater, Fire Country is a 2022 TV series currently in production with four seasons to date starring Bode Donovan, a prisoner in a California jail arrested for armed robbery who, to redeem himself, joins a firefighting program in his hometown. Amid the flames of forest fires, Bode often finds himself torn between the firefighters and the law enforcement while facing the ghosts of his past. This series delivers an adrenaline-fueled mix of high-risk emergency interventions and family drama, presenting a face of justice tied to service and personal redemption. The series is available for streaming on NOW and currently also on RaiPlay.
Justified
Now available for streaming on Disney+ is Justified, a 2010 crime western series comprising six seasons and created by Graham Yost, based on the character Marshal Raylan Givens, born from the pen of Elmore Leonard. The protagonist is Timothy Olyphant who plays Rayland Givens, a Southern lawman with a sharp tongue who tends to the people of the Harlan County. Using old-school methods back in his homeland, Rayland tries to keep up with criminal clans and childhood acquaintances, and he represents the quintessential country-law figure—employing a modern gunslinger mindset where the line between good and evil is often blurred.
Sheriff Country
Third and final recommendation for fans of the theme is the newer Sheriff Country, available streaming on NOW and currently consisting of two seasons with Morena Baccarin portraying Sheriff Mickey Fox. Born as a spin-off of Fire Country and thus set in the same narrative universe, it follows the sheriff who operates in the small town of Edgewater, a remote territory where he investigates criminal activity while also dealing with his family. In this case the sheriff is merely a representative of the law, but he knows the history and the secrets of every single citizen. Sheriff Country leans primarily on the sense of community, on protecting the territory and on interpersonal dynamics.
