I recently watched the series Black Sails again, and I just have to say is I can't wait for its next and final season in January. This show is a lot of fun, and I feel it shows a semi real depiction of what a life of a pirate really was. Now I realize it is fiction, but I do think they have some of it right.
If you liked the Pirates of Caribbean movies you will probably really enjoy this show since it is that just a lot bloodier. What I mean is that this show is on Starz, one of the movie channels, like HBO. Black Sails is not for a younger audience, and I think it makes better that way. For a show like this they could've went with a different channel, and it still might've been good, but since they have no boundaries I think it adds to the realism of the time.
The acting is top notch, and one character that it tells the origins of is Long John Silver, and if you don't know who that is watch the fun Disney film, Treasure Planet. In the end, I think most people would enjoy this series, and should give it a chance. I was hooked by the first five minutes of episode one, and if you aren't at least curious by the end then it isn't for you. I say most people should definitely try and see this show as soon as they can. It is a fun show that I can't wait to see how it ends.
