"Black Sails" originally aired on Starz in 2014 (ran 4 seasons) and flew under the radar for many due to the small platform. My wife and I loved that show and it's an all time favorite for us. Netflix just picked it up and is streaming all seasons.
It takes place before the events of Treasure Island with many well known characters from the book.
This series is an absolute gem.

An upvote for Ripley here - the cinematography throughout is incredible. I would also recommend A Gentleman In Moscow, Ewan McGregor is very much on form.

Just finished Dark on Netflix and oh boy that was one hell of a tv show, currently watching Fallout on Prime, and i think next im gonna watch Ripley on Netlfix
My fav tv show is Sopranos so far nothing beat it ( i think Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul came close? )

@endo Fallout was pretty decent. A few plotholes (or, at least, unexplained goings-on) if you go back and think about earlier events after the big reveals in the final episode, which have made me think less of it after finishing it.
Maybe a second watch is in order to see if there is an explanation for some of the events or character interactions that I missed on the first watch.

@IrishHeart agreed it was really good. I was a little turned off by the obsessive anti-polite barrage in the first few episodes (throwing stuff at their cars and chasing them off mob style), but the dropped the schtick and the show was really good.
Line of Duty is one of my all time favorite police dramas and this held its own.

@jordanscollected I’ll check it out! I just watched the first episode of The Cleaner, another Australian black comedy that seems promising.

@jordanscollected glad you enjoyed it. The anti police violence was a major part of the troubles in Northern Ireland and even since the Good Friday Agreement there are communities that have no time or trust in them.
The Police force there have said that this show is the most accurate reflection of their day to day working life that has been shown on TV.
