Black Sails

I can't believe how low the score is on imdb for such a masterpiece. This show should be rated much higher.

All the actors were amazing in this show. You could really feel the passion for each individual character portrayed by each great actor.

The writing was top tier with the twists and turns in the entire story. Each and every writer involved in this series should give themselves a pat on the back, as they are all amazing and talented. You should be proud of your skills.

The camera and editing teams were amazing. You outdid yourselves in every way possible.

For the other team members such as costume, set and FX crews as well as the rest of the team, you all went above and beyond. Absolutely amazing!

This show should be above a 9 in my opinion and I personally rate this show a 10/10. I re-watch this show at least once a year, and as a writer myself, I don't think I could top such a plot with such skill involving the world of pirates.

This show is a 100% must watch! You won't regret it!

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.

Recently I was starting to have an interest in Shows that play in different historical periods.

After HBO's Deadwood and Rome I stumbled upon this show.

It is absolutely amazing. The actors are all great, the set design and overall world is beautiful and the action scenes are intense.

I want to also focus on Captain Flint and John Silver who have both incredibly great character arcs. Another highlight was Ray Stevenson as Edward Teach.

This show grips you and you want to continue watching and it's honestly hard to stop.

If there is a nitpick I have it's with Maxwell. Not her character or anything, but her fake accent was honestly painful to listen to at times. Everytime she spoke I cringed a little. She was also involved in a love triangle and I absolutely loathe those especially this one because it felt forced and the actors didn't have the greatest of chemistry.

But that aside Black Sails is an incredible show and criminally underrated!

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.

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.
