Featured review
Recently I was starting to have an interest in Shows that play in different historical periods.
After HBO's Deadwood and Rome I stumbled upon this show.
It is absolutely amazing. The actors are all great, the set design and overall world is beautiful and the action scenes are intense.
I want to also focus on Captain Flint and John Silver who have both incredibly great character arcs. Another highlight was Ray Stevenson as Edward Teach.
This show grips you and you want to continue watching and it's honestly hard to stop.
If there is a nitpick I have it's with Maxwell. Not her character or anything, but her fake accent was honestly painful to listen to at times. Everytime she spoke I cringed a little. She was also involved in a love triangle and I absolutely loathe those especially this one because it felt forced and the actors didn't have the greatest of chemistry.
But that aside Black Sails is an incredible show and criminally underrated!

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaChris Larkin (Berringer) and Toby Stephens (Flint) are brothers. Their parents are Dame Maggie Smith and Sir Robert Stephens. Anna-Louise Plowman (Mrs Hudson) is Toby Stephens's wife.
- GoofsThe language spoken is questionable throughout the series. There is no agreement on when the F word came into being as a swear word; the educated classes are constantly saying "you and I" when it should be "you and me"; and there is regular use of "excuse me", which is a more modern Americanism, instead of "I beg your pardon".
- Crazy creditsThe opening titles are a montage of white statues depicting the lives of pirates, incorporating black skeletons and dark oceans.
