OFMD fans: I have the perfect thing to soothe your troubled souls and it is the cult British panel show Taskmaster.
Taskmaster does not have pirates. But it does have:
A massively neurodivergent and queer fanbase
Relentless homoeroticism
"Daddy"
A terrifyingly competent non-binary assassin
Madeleine Sami being hot as hell
A kiss the fandom can't stop thinking about

You love that David Jenkins embraces fan art? Taskmaster creator Alex Horne regularly seeks out and talks about kinky RPF about himself.
You love how OFMD is refreshingly earnest and non-cynical and features a diverse group of people working together? Come on over and cheer for teams of grown-ass adults collecting spoons with a magnet or trying to drag a gargantuan duck to a pond without touching the pineapples.
But the best, the best, the best thing about Taskmaster is that there is just so much of it. Series SEVENTEEN starts airing in a few weeks. There are THIRTEEN international spin-offs, two of which are as good as the original. The entire thing--the entire thing--is available for free on the show's official youtube channel.
No waiting, no angst. Taskmaster is sweet and silly and fluffy and endless. Taskmaster wants you to be happy. And you deserve to be happy.
I mean it when I say that Taskmaster UK series 12.04 is THEE best episode of taskmaster.
it's got the best Greg intro, and the best alex skit. Victoria Coren-Mitchell gets penalised for making a pun and learns to ride a bike during a task. Morgana has a breakdown, Guz has a revelation and Desiree gets high beamed in the crotch. And Alan Davies briefly looks cool.
