    Seeing Timothy Olyphant in Mando and Book of Boba Fett made me want to revisit Justified. I only ever saw the first season back when it originally aired and then never got around to finishing it. Only a few episodes in, but Olyphant is like perfect in the role of cowboys no matter the setting. I think I'll finally check out Deadwood after I finish Justified. Reacher is on my radar as well.

     

    Definitely check out Deadwood, in my top 5 TV shows, fantastic performances from Olyphant, McShane etc

    Hot or not thread?

    Ok, fair enough. Was more trying to find out any information about an actress from the 80's/90's who disappeared when she retired from acting in 1997. Her name is Traci Lin(d) from Fright Night 2 and Class of 1999 (had a big crush on her in my teenage years!). But information seems to be scarce.

    So four months into my game and I have just had Battleground. Was gonna run a triple threat match between Andrews, Chord and Hawkins but on the show before the PPV Hawkins got injured for a year! I just made it a 1 on 1 with Andrews retaining. I also have Human Arsenal injured for another 7 months, Danny Fonzarelli is retiring in 2 months, Nick Booth I am allowing his contract to expire. I have turned Devine Fortune heel and they have started off pretty well. Eddie Peak has just offered to put over Elliot Thomas in 3 matches, only trouble is Peak doesn't wrestle on TV! Really enjoying TCW at the moment, on and USPW are signing big names left, right and center.

    Well currently playing and I have paired OMA with Human Arsenal (btw, looking for a name related to weapons or war for them) and I'm going to try to push Doc as a singles wrestler with the Elite.... let's see how it goes

     

    I paired them up and called them Human Army, had their first match and Human Arsenal got injured for 11 months! (9 after surgery).

    So after catching up wholly on Line Of Duty with all 5 seasons, the wife and I are now in need of something new to watch. We've got a shortlist of generally considered to be great shows we haven't watched yet. I'll list and maybe someone can suggest something strongly to go next with:

     

    Sons of Anarchy

    Breaking Bad

    True Detective

    The Sopranos

    Boardwalk Empire

    Peaky Blinders

    The Crown

    Russian Doll

    In Treatment

    Deadwood

    The Wire

     

    We've seen some excellent TV shows through the years but 2 kids and no free time have left us lagging behind.

     

    Out of the shows I have seen this is the order I would rate them.

     

    1. The Sopranos

    2. Deadwood

    3. Sons of Anarchy

    4. Breaking Bad

     

    In my view, The Sopranos is the best show ever. Fantastic characters and dialogue and very few 'bad' episodes.

     

    Next I rate Deadwood a close second, sometimes what the characters are saying can be a little difficult to understand but it is very well written.

     

    Sons of Anarchy and Breaking Bad are both close for me but I personally feel that Breaking Bad went on a season too long and most of the characters are quite unlikeable.

     

    Of the other shows on your list I have watched a couple of seasons of The Wire and while it is very good I find that you need to have subtitles on to understand what the characters are saying! Or maybe that's just me!

     

    True Detective I have seen a couple of episodes of the first season but it has not really gripped me and Boardwalk Empire and Peaky Blinders are both on my to watch list! The others on your list I have either not heard of or am not interested in!

    How do you like One Deck Dungeon? I've thought about picking it up on Steam, as the dice are color based so I can't play the physical copy. I've seen a few YouTube videos but they are usually sponsored. So I like to hear from people who don't review games for a living. :p

     

    I like the game, very difficult though! I've only played it on the 'easy' challenge though.

    Got Marvel Legendary and a ton of expansions (Dark City, Secret Wars 1 & 2, Civil War, X-Men, World War Hulk and all small boxes apart from Noir, Deadpool, Fear Itself, Venom and Dimensions), Zombicide plus Toxic City Mall and Prison Outbreak, The Walking Dead Here's Negan and One Deck Dungeon. As you can probably tell I play mostly solo!<img alt=":(" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/frown.png.e6b571745a30fe6a6f2e918994141a47.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

    What's going on in YOUR game?

    Thought Bisping fought a very intelligent fight, lost the first round and probably just lost the second but won rounds 3,4 and 5. More active and considering he was knocked down twice he showed great heart to keep going. Must admit I was on the edge of my seat most of the fight thinking one more good hit from Hendo and that's it. On the whole Bisping deserved it.

    Does anybody think that Daniel Bryan could come back at the Royal Rumble? Apparently he hasn't had medical clearance yet but I just have a feeling that he may. Another scenario running through my head is The Rock winning the rumble and facing Reigns at Wrestlemania with The Rock blaming Reigns for getting booed last year, probably won't happen but in my head it seems like something they would do.

    Raw was pretty disappointing. No main event match, no Bryan match, terrible Divas Battle Royale. The best parts:

     

    - Cena vs BNB

    - Reigns/Big Show segment

    - Orton vs Brass Ring Club

    - Naomi Hell Turn

    - PTP promo

    - Ziggler vs Neville (and the Sheamus beatdown)

    - Extreme Rules Stipulations

    I actually went to the show and while there was no televised main event they did have a six man tag match after they stopped filming, it was Bryan, Ambrose and Ziggler vs Harper, Big Show and Sheamus. The crowd were really on Show's case but he took it pretty well.

    Shows I am watching,

     

    Supernatural Season 6 - Originally brought the first 4 seasons for my wife but watched the first couple of episodes and got into it. Thought season 5 was a bit strange® in places but season 6 has made an interesting start.

     

    The Chicago Code - Saw it advertised on Sky 1 and thought I would give it a shot, am hooked now.

     

    Luther 2nd Series - Impressed with the first series and 2nd is pretty good as well.

     

    Recently watched,

     

    Deadwood - Pure quality but will probably require a second viewing to 'get' it all, ditto the Sopranos.

     

    Spartacus:Gods of the Arena - Ok it was all a bit OTT but I thought the actual storyline was good and told the back story and set up the characters well. Looking forward to the third season.

     

    True Blood Season 3 - Again a bit confusing in places and not as good as the first season IMO.

     

    To watch:

     

    The Wire - Seasons 3-5

    Sons of Anarchy Season 3 - Anybody know where and when this will be shown in the UK?

     

    Finally has anybody seen a show called Justified and is it any good?
