PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

jarihietala The film is skilfully made. Like a book would read but see the picture. It is difficult to find the same. Thanks for the great work

Mayank Agarwal Black Sails is a historical adventure television series set on New Providence Island (present-day Bahamas) and a prequel to the novel Treasure Island. The plot revolves around the pirates of the 18th Century. The show uses real names of pirates, historical figures, and events from the time although in fictional plots, still overall it sticks to the truth when portraying the life and working of those times. The visuals are stunning, with great details going into building the ships and costumes of the time period. The cast and their performances are perfect. The storytelling is interesting, with lots of dramatic events and twist n turns happening but nothing is rushed. Every plot is developed and matured and then only comes to a crazy conclusion, at times this approach does give the series a feel for being too slow and getting dragged. This is an intelligent show with more talking, plotting, intrigue and less action. I for one found it to be one of the most underrated series, the direction and pacing to me felt like Rome meets Breaking Bad.Season One (8/10) - The plot revolves around Captain Flint's hunt for Spanish treasure galleon Urca de Lima. Add to it the politics of Nassau town and rivalry between different crews we get to see how a pirate's life looked at the time. I did take time to develop a sense of belonging for the characters and their wellbeing, also the initial time taken in developing the plot didn't help the matter either as the mysterious past fuelling Flint's action was kept in dark till the season's end. Season Two (10/10) - This is the season the show really comes on its own, besides Flint and his crew I started enjoying the other Pirate characters. Also, we finally get to know about Flint's past and what fuels him. Most of the episodes were like a boat in thunderstorms, dark, full of turmoils, nothing is sure and spectacular to watch. The crazy start and finale are mind-blowing. Season Three (10/10) - The show continues its great roll, it brings in a new plot, theme, and characters which only increases the stakes in an appropriate manner. This is the season where the pirates come together to fight against the British Empire and legends are made. Black Beard & Governor Woodes Rogers are introduced and the turning of Silver into Long John Silver was truly a marvel.Season Four (9/10) - The masterpiece ends, an appropriate and perfect ending, maybe too perfect. Ultimately the season ends with the bells ringing to the closer of the Golden Age of Piracy.

lisak-113-832403 Rather over American- ridiculous white teeth, constant "sked-ules" instead of the English "Shed-lies" but it seems from the first ep like good fun, if rather brain dead good fun. Perhaps I'll get into it more as it goes on but it's rather empty for me at present

tranat71 I've watched so many TV series. And Black Sails is among th best when compared to Gane of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Westworld, Outlander, etc.The acting is top notch.The directing is top notch.The character development, especially of Captain Flint and Long John Silver, is top notch.The only negative thing I could say about Black Sails is that there are only 4 seasons, and I wish there are 30 seasons of it. That is how awesome this series is. Black Sails makes the Pirates of the Caribbean movies look like preschool cartoons. Black Sails is unequivocally among the best TV series.
