Black Sails

Black Sails is absolutely one of the most underrated shows ever. It was so good that I binged the entire series in a week. Everything about this show is damn near perfect...the writing, acting, cinematography, production value, costumes, all of it! You can tell the effort they put into this show by the attention to detail in every scene. The acting and writing are so good that you really come to care about what happens to these characters. This is by far the best series I've ever seen about pirates and definitely a show that is for adults. I was hooked from the very first episode through to the very last. Every season is fantastic.

Black Sails is a great series throughout, each season kept a level of intrigue and this made it series one of those rare shows where you count down the days until the new season.

The show was full of sex, violence, power struggles and everything you would expect for a show about pirates. The ending did a great service to the show and provided a meaningful exit to the characters.

I did feel the show warranted more seasons or a spin off series but it appears neither have come to fruition.

I would recommend watching this show as it is offering something different, will leave you desperate for more and despite the historical inaccuracies the characters are based on real historic figures which adds some authenticity to the show.

What happened in season 3... what happened to the scars?? There were 6 scars... then there were none....like...did they heal? Or did the production crew forget.... did they get lazy and have to go with it or what?? What the f happened?? It was going so well until this.... I mean three scars on each cheek... down to nothing... not even a hint of a scar.... nothing Nada nowt.... just... clear unscarred skin. Continuity level has not been completed... unfortunately there is no restart button and now it's there for the rest of eternity... you fools.... ruined a perfectly good series with laziness.

Black Sails is just a flat out awesome show that is so addicting that once you start watching it, you can't stop! It's the prequel to "Treasure Island." It didn't get nearly the attention that it deserved at the time and that's probably because it was on STARZ when they were just branching out into original tv shows. This was one of their first big budget tv shows and it's worth every second you put into watching it! People are finally starting to find out about it now that STARZ has become bigger and more well know with shows like Spartacus, the Power franchise, Outlander, etc and is on streaming sites like Hulu. We still got 4 amazing seasons out of it though.

"Black Sails" is a gritty and immersive pirate drama that dives deep into the dark underbelly of the Golden Age of Piracy. The series centers on Captain Flint and his ruthless pursuit of power, weaving a narrative filled with betrayal, complex loyalties, and moral ambiguity. With strong performances, intricate character development, and high production values, "Black Sails" offers a refreshing yet brutal look at pirate life. While it takes creative liberties with historical facts, its compelling storytelling and intense atmosphere make it a must-watch for fans of action-packed, character-driven dramas.
