Yes. I'd probably put Black Sails in my top 5 favorite shows

Very well done show, has to be the highest budget show ever put on Starz and you can tell. Production quality is on par with Game of Thrones

Just did a rewatch. One of my favorite series. It starts off a tad cheesy, but give it a good 4-5 episodes before passing judgment.

Yes.

First half of season 1 the show had no clue what it wanted to be. Get past that and you'll be hooked.

I didn't want it to end. Top 3 show for me.

Absolutely. Had the series been on HBO or Netflix it would be mention as one of the best on tv when it was on, Starz just didn't promote it the way it should have been. A little sad it was only 4 seasons and that it's already over.

Absolutely. Middle to end of the series had incredible writing and should've gotten more love than it did.

I started it 2 years ago and bailed after 3 episodes. Someone told me to stick with it so i did and watched all 3 seasons.

It ended up being one of my all time favorite shows.

Reminds me a lot of the Leftovers in the sense that season 1 was good, not great. Season 2 was great, and then it was on another level.


Highly recommend

As already stated it's an excellent show.

Each season gets progressively better. The production quality is top notch. The only thing that bothered me in the 1st season was the ridiculous amount of softcore porn that added very little, if anything, to the plot. I know that is just how the shows are now, but I honestly found it detracted from the show. There's less and less as the show goes on though.

The final season is incredible.

I had made a thread about this (and got dogged for it). Years ago, the wife and I had watched the high-budget porn flick "Pirates," so when we started watching Black Sails it just seemed too cheesy with all the sex and nudity. Just couldn't take it seriously. Also, Vane was so douchey he was just begging for an Affliction shirt in his early appearances. And Jack was too cheesy as well. We gave up after 2-3 episodes.
But thanks to this board, I gave it another shot recently and loved it. Binged it quickly. Then I watched again with my wife and kid - just wrapped it up last week.

**** SPOILER ****















That may have been the happiest ending I've ever had to a show. And it involved two gay lovers reuniting. Never thought those words could come off my keyboard.
