Haven’t seen it but will check it out. Is it about pirates?

tGOAT show that no one talks about Anyone here who has not seen it fire it up immediately.
I watched a season or two then moved and my cable switched back when it was first on air. Never ended up watching it again,

There’s not a lot of series that I’d highly recommend finishing but Black Sails is on that list.
Imperfect but flawless.

Watched it during Covid in 2020 or 2021, but looks like I need to do a rewatch. Great great show.

Season 2 was some peak tv for me. Great writing that fleshes out Flint, Vane, Rackham, and Silver, the music and sets, the acting etc. thought 3 and 4 dropped off a little once they hit the island but that was more due to season 2 just being so good.

The whole series is great, season 2 is near perfection.

I agree Season 2 is by far the best one.

Watched two or three episodes when it came out and I felt like I was watching SciFi channel garbage. I guess it gets better?

The first couple episodes are lower quality compared to the rest of the series, but you appreciate them more after the story picks up

Yes. And it is awesome
It’s about Pirates, but there’s a lot of gay characters? WTF???

When we talk about character arcs in TV, Silver’s arc from twatty thief to THAT Silver is pretty badass

Our Flag Means Death and this show really push gay Pirates.
The leads of both shows are gay.
I just don’t want to see that - not that there is anything wrong with it. It’s just not my thing.

I said something similar when I first started it. The first few episodes kind of drag and I was underwhelmed considering I had heard nothing but good things about it. They weren’t bad really, just was expecting more I guess. But it picks up and by the time you’re finished with the series it’ll most likely be ranked as one of your favorites. That’s how it was for me at least.
It’s that good.
ETA: as for the gay stuff, it’s not overwhelming and isn’t a main focus of the show. Just one of the characters happens to be gay. It wasn’t really a big deal from what I remember.

If it were made today, it would get crucified by this board for one storyline in particular.

Never thought it was cheesy or shoe horned in. It was the motivation of why this man does the things he does. You already knew he had blind rage and unwavering determination to his goal, this just told more of why instead of being the characters only trait.
