Black Sails

"Enjoyable. "

"This is one of the best shows ever created and I’m standing on that. I bet you wouldn’t believe you can get something this superb out of a pirate show but you would be wrong. Great writing complex world building phenomenal cast and a dialogue so powerful it’s like poetry. I’ve never hung onto words like I did in this show. It’s a shame more people don’t actually know about it and those that do understand everything I’m saying. EPIC✨"

"I love pirates! This one’s cool, blending famous fictional characters with famous historical ones. Recommend!"

"after finishing Vikings yesterday (was a sad day indeed) i was searching for another show somewhat similar to Vikings. came across this show and i’m glad i did! 5 episodes in and i cannot stop! definitely worth the binge! #vikings #blacksails "

"I’m so glad I watched this show. The acting and storyline drew me in. They did a good job playing it out. They don't quite write the order or how the pirates die but they still make it interesting. Captain Flint and Thomas Hamilton deserved better than what they got 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻"

"A more realistic take on pirates, blending real historical figures with Robert Louis Stevenson’s characters. NO characterized squinting pirates running around saying “AAARRRRR!!!” No Jack Sparrow-esque pirates here either! "

"3 1/2⭐️ I lost interest towards the end of season 1. Wished there were more “pirate hunting for treasure on the high seas” scenes but it seemed like they were always in port banging prostitutes. "

"If you can stomach the rape(season 2 and onward they seem to recognize their mistake and stopped ogling assaults) and overlook the worst writing of female characters I've ever seen in the first season there's a legitimately strong story here. In the second season the show really has the wind to its back and you start to see how these characters are doomed to become the desperate characters of Stevenson's 'Treasure Island'. Every character is motivated by their own conflicts and desires, and apart from the rare contrivance that's the result of being a 'Starz' show, it makes for excellent, compelling drama. - season 3 seems to be much weaker with a lot of characters feeling like filler. "

"Couldn't get past the 1st episode. "
