Black Sails is just a flat out awesome show that is addicting once you start watching it! It's the prequel to "Treasure Island." It didn't get nearly the attention that it deserved at the time and that's probably because it was on STARZ when they were just branching out into original tv shows. This was one of their first big budget tv shows and it's worth every second you put into watching it! People are finally starting to find out about it now that STARZ has become bigger with shows like Spartacus, Power, Outlander, etc and is on streaming sites like Hulu. We still got 4 amazing seasons out of it though!
