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.

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!

"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.

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.
