I'll copy off a manifesto I wrote for Our Flag Means Death on tumblr. Original post here.
I still see Firefly mentioned periodically. Which I get - I mourn its cancellation, too.
I'd like you to meet my new fave,Our Flag Means Death. Great Found Family vibes. Great humor. Lots of job shenanigans. Frenchie's "A Pirate's Life" might rival Firefly's opening theme. Most of the characters are queer and/or POC.
Ed/Blackbeard has some Mal Reynolds energy. Stede is a combination of Wash and Inara - Inara in that he's Ed's love interest, and also a person from high status chilling with pirates for unclear reasons, Wash in that, well, if he could have toy dinosaurs, he totally would.
Did I mention David Jenkins isn't an asswipe like Joss Whedon?
Watch Our Flag Means Death. You will never break the chain.
(In the event you know anything about the historic Blackbeard and/or Stede Bonnet, rest assured that Ed and Stede are VERY different from their historic counterparts. Completely different people, minus the names and some of the backstory/reported backstory for each. Kaz Rowe on YouTube broke it down really well.)
