Tv shows and movies

[j19]

I watched the series Black Sails a couple of months ago and thought of Star Traders. The show follows the story of Captain Flint, showing his story and how he runs his crew. I don't want to go into too much detail, but the show was great, and I think some other Star Trader fans might enjoy it.

I also really enjoyed the series Altered Carbon on Netflix. It's a cyberpunk series that I found to be pretty entertaining. I don't actually remember much of it because I binged the show in a state of altered conscience, but I still think fans of cyberpunk might enjoy it. I did think of Cyber Knights while watching this, but that's likely because that game was my first real introduction to the cyberpunk setting.

I guess the point of this thread is tv shows and movies that remind you of Trese bros. games, or maybe media that inspired their settings/worlds. Feel free to add whatever you can think of

Also, if we could avoid spoilers that would be appreciated

In the anime thread we've talked about several shows that reminded us of TB games. Bodacious Space Pirates is a neat one that revolves around a young girl that finds out her father was a legal space pirate and when he died he left his ship to her. Now she has to follow in his footsteps and go on government sanctioned raids to keep her license. Just like the basic story of the original ST.

That sounds interesting, I'll have to give it a watch. I'll also have to check out that thread, as I haven't watched a good anime in a while

A good movie that has similarities to ST is Ice Pirates. Water is very rare in the universe and Earth is a forgotten planet that most believe doesn't exist. A group of 'ice pirates' kidnapp a princess who knows how to find the lost water planet.
