Black Sails

Black sails was such a great show. The first two seasons were some legendary tv, and captain Flint is a character for the history books. There are some other amazing characters as well, and the show is riveting and adventurous.

But then in season 3, some plot and character developments start to detract from the show. But they truly manifest in season 4, altogether ruining the show's conclusion. Silver becomes the most annoying character, unbefitting the status given to him. Billy does a complete 180, no longer the character we grew to respect and understand. And Flint is given a terrible ending that is truly unjust; this legendary captain deserved so much better.... Unforgivable.

Not to mention that the motivations and drivers behind the 4th season were so convoluted and ridiculous that none of it really had any stakes at all. If you asked me to tell you what the whole thing was about, I'd be hard pressed. I could make characters and key words but I truly believe the writers just wanted it to end.

All that said, overall a great show. 8/10, but could've really been an all time show.

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.

To tell the truth there were many times in the first season that I almost stopped watching this show. But I stuck with it and boy was it ever rewarding. Season 1 was pretty slow to me sometimes boarder line uneventful. I know a few people that stopped watching after season one because of this. But Season 2 has been explosive. Probably one of the best seasons of a TV show out there and it was all due to the character development from the first season.

During season 2 I found myself consistently updating my rating of this show. I initially had it scored a 6 out of 10. Now have it a solid 9. I can't wait for the next season.

If you are planing to watch this show. Stick with it through some of the long drawn out scenes in season 1 and you will be rewarded immensely.

This is defiantly another winner for starz

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.
