Justified seasons 4-5: Binge or skip?
Hello everyone!
I started watching Justified a little while back since I have heard so many good things and I knew the final season was approaching. I recently finished season 3 (wow!) and am now debating whether to make my way through seasons 4 and 5 or just skip them and watch the final season live. I have heard that season 4 and 5 don't quite stack up to 2 or 3 and are more procedural like season 1 (at least I have heard this about season 4). If that's the case I may just check out some recaps and hop on the season 6 train as I don't get much joy out of the gangster of the week stuff. I have also unintentionally caught some promo stuff recently and know what key players are still around... it doesn't seem like the pieces are too hard to put together if I skip ahead.
So my question is - will I miss anything major if I skip ahead past seasons 4 and 5? How do they stack up compared to seasons 2 and 3? Any (relatively) spoiler-free suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I also do kind of agree with @Poppy though. Where I can see that you're certainly not going to be skipping the best of Justified by moving past season 5 you would be missing some interesting "how we got here" information. Some pretty big stuff happened in Season 5. I would recommend watching it, but knowing that it's not the end of the world if you skip.
