Black Sails: XXXI. (2017)
Season 4, Episode 3
This is where the show gets ruined
27 August 2022
The show was fine up until here but writers really destroyed the show with their clueless writing. Nothing in this episode makes ANY sense at all.

You have Blackbeard and Rackham ready to attack a British ship and they surrender as soon as fight begins even though they know that this means death for them. If they were going to surrender that easily, why bother coming to the fight at all? Then we watch 20 minutes of torture porn nonsense because writers ran out of ideas and have nothing good to show and their storytelling came to an end.

Then you have the other pirates in land who are getting ready to attack Nassau. They are already lacking manpower and guns to take on British invaders and they desperately need more men. What do they do to accomplish that? They divide into two groups and war with each other and start hunting each other down. Yeah it makes perfect sense.

Then you have other characters acting like absolute idiots in a way that makes zero sense, making huge mistakes that even a kid wouldn't do and abandoning complete common sense just as writers of this show decided to do and ruined a perfectly good show.
