A chance encounter on a Florida highway sends him to Detroit and he crosses paths with Clement Mansell, aka The Oklahoma Wildman, a violent sociopath who’s already slipped through the fingers of Detroit’s finest once and wants to do so again.

Predictably trying to score woke points.
There is enough left of Elmore Leonard's legendary storytelling that it's entertaining, but it's obviously woke.
The main character Raylan has always been in relationships with attractive, trim white women. In the book that this series is based on, his current love interest is a blonde white woman.
Predictably, she was recast as a chubby black woman with an afro.
Plenty of other little annoying woke comments exist in the show as well, but it's mostly tolerable. Certainly a huge letdown from the near-perfect original show.

Terrible story/uncool hero
The story and villain is subpar. As the other reviewer noted, instead of a bombshell southern bell, Raylan shacks up with a frumpy inner city black woman. The original series had plenty of strong black and female characters, and they never had to make Raylan a dopey loser to do it.
