The world building was second to none, IMO. And the sets were gorgeous.

It was just a fun series overall. No one else I know has watched it because no one else I know has Starz, but it is certainly up there in terms of great shows recently.

Jack Rackham was one of my favorite characters in some time as well.

One of my favorites. I was highly anticipating its debut, then watched the first couple episodes when it aired and thought it was kind of over the top and cheesy. Gave up after 2 or 3 episodes. Then years later I read the praise for it around here and gave it another try. Once the story got rolling, it was an amazing ride. Watched it twice already and thoroughly enjoyed it.



So did i. Thought it was kinda lame. Maybe ill give it another try.

My god that was seriously cringe worthy. I think if I rewatched the series I'd go ahead and fast forward through that part.

One of the main creative/historical consultants for the series was my fencing coach in college, Benerson (Ben) Little. He's published several non-fiction/historical books on Piracy for folks who are interested in the subject.

Great series though.

Black sails was great and there was originally talk of a spin off of Long John Silver. I really wish they would go ahead with this.


i think some of that had to do with how Silver was presented. To me he was one of the worst parts. other than hwo dumb Rackhom was.

ETA: looks like im the only one what didnt like those 2
