I need to find something sci-fi'ish to fill the gap between episodes of The Expanse.
Black Sails was/is filmed in and around Cape Town which may explain the (subconscious) love for the setting. I agree that the story is a bit weak, but it does get a little better if you stick with it. Season 2 is much stronger than S1, imo.

Where/how are you watching The Expanse? Heard good things about it and want to catch it, but can't find it anywhere. Am I going to have to use my month-end leftover bandwidth and play pirate? Arrr!

For filler sci-fi'ish, if you haven't yet, check out Black Mirror. I found it on Netflix. Near-future stuff focusing on our obsession with media and the screens (the black mirrors of the title) that dominate our lives. Strongly recommended by yours truly.
