Sinbad was a one-season wonder fantasy show that ran for 12 episodes and then was unjustly cancelled. It was on SkyOne when it aired, as well as Space and SyFy, and I'm not super sure where you can find it streaming these days. Every so often someone sticks it up on youtube, and it's also on DVD.
I adore this show for being a super cheesy Xena-style fantasy show that had zero shits to give in regards to production values or plot, but is shot in gorgeous Malta, has a great cast who are often eyeliner-positive/shirts optional, and if nothing else means well. There's a lot of learning to be a team, loyalty kink, h/c, people trying to redeem themselves from past mistakes, an fantasy trope soup. There's just about any kind of ship you care to ship happening here, and also Naveen Andrews without a shirt (guest stars were paid in tickets to Malta, and we have a lot of fantastic one-off characters, like Nikki Amuka-Bird as a mad scientist). There's a tonne of room to flesh out stuff the show didn't quite cover, and I'm very into the people from all different cultures stuck together on a boat aspect.
Caveats: There is a mild cliff hanger at the end of the show, but it's not a huge thing, just set up for the next season. Episode two has some weird sexism, and is just generally bad. I'd rec skipping it, even if it does guest star Sophie Okonedo. On the whole, the show is not actually good in terms of having a coherent plot, or plots that made sense, or decent CGI, or good dialogue (though there are some fantastic bits in there), but it's on par with cheesy '90s fantasy shows, so if you liked those, this is great. Several of my faves are written out part way through the series.
I'm asking for an M/M loyalty kink pairing, an M/M/F OT3 that is super hot and also has a lot of comedy value, an F/F opposites attract pairing, and gen about a mystery character.
