I enjoyed the show. I also like history and this documentary is a mix between drama and historical events. I think it's nicely filmed and acted.
My only complaint is that it's not historical correct. There are too much assumptions and 'artistical freedom' rather than facts. I don't say they're lying but it's halve the truth and you can get the wrong ideas about history. I also have my doubts about the 'Experts' who sound very dramatic and not neutral in my opinion.
I know some things are controversial these days but facts are facts and we all want to like pirates but it doesn't do right to history.
Edit: after watching more episodes its getting worse. Not only assumptions but also just wrong.
The list will be too long to write all the things wrong so I won't.
Pirates sailed mostly in small boats and some captured bigger ships. Most had a dozen cannons and 75 man. They needed fast ships not warships. You think they would attack British, Dutch or Spanish Navy with Galleons or Frigates with 80-100 cannons. And you also think they freed slaves. No, they sold them.
Probably 10% facts and 90% drama.

I don't understand why anybody is comparing this to a fictional show like Black Sails. The narration just contributes to the show as a historical story versus a non fiction story. Whether the whole story is completely accurate or not, it tells the story of how the pirates of the Caribbean legends were born. Besides the obvious gaps in great graphics that are available nowadays, I thought it was really really good
Enjoyed the show. Well done for a docu-drama except ..... every time someone said Nassau and pronounced it 'nassow' instead of 'nasaw', I wanted to slap them. Wikipedia even shows it correctly .....
An enjoyable documentary on the age of pirates. Re-enactments felt authentic and paired well with interviews and narration. The narrator had a fun tone that carried well throughout. Interesting information and the whole series had a good flow.
This documentary-series is slow, over acted, inconsistent and with a lot of filler time that personally bored me.
I thought I was going to see something similar to what Netflix did with the Samurai documentary, which I thought was an interesting and different approach to watching a documentary where the story was told in a very clear way and with novelistic elements that worked well to give it the feel of a TV series.
