Black Sails

"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.

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.

The story is very good; despite the annoyance of several characters whom one would wish to see them dead, but the continue to live throughout the season !

Nonetheless, it's all part of the act I suppose; and the cinematics and filming was beyond incredible.

When viewed on 720 or 1080p quality, the viewer actually feels they are in the Caribbean in the time where the filming took place. The Nassau island looked just as real as it did in the past centuries.

Other than that, I'm sure all viewers appreciated the fact that it took more than 300 people to build one of those ships used for filming the series.

Overall, I'm sure looking forward for another season.

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.

To tell the truth there were many times in the first season that I almost stopped watching this show. But I stuck with it and boy was it ever rewarding. Season 1 was pretty slow to me sometimes boarder line uneventful. I know a few people that stopped watching after season one because of this. But Season 2 has been explosive. Probably one of the best seasons of a TV show out there and it was all due to the character development from the first season.

During season 2 I found myself consistently updating my rating of this show. I initially had it scored a 6 out of 10. Now have it a solid 9. I can't wait for the next season.

If you are planing to watch this show. Stick with it through some of the long drawn out scenes in season 1 and you will be rewarded immensely.

This is defiantly another winner for starz
