This is a binge-righteous series. I for one appreciate intrigue, violence, swearing, and nudity in a series to make it somewhat believable for me to watch. This review is for the entire four seasons. After a couple episodes, the players fall into place. I feel good acting good scenery, good sound and now comes the PLOT. It takes a few episodes to get into it. Once you are hooked, there is no turning back. FABULOUS STUFF. But then later in the series you wonder how this guy can turn from a wimp to a hard-guy after a season. Or this joker turned into a legend after an episode. Or this nice guy turns into an acehole after an episode. It's too fast like that. But, it's great and I loved every minute of it up until the last episode where what you might imagine, happens. It's like: OK We Gotta Wrap This Up. TOTALLY BINGE-WORTHY. 8 POINTS

Black Sails had all the ingredients for greatness. Please note that I haven't read 'Treasure Island' nor am very knowledgable when it comes to the real pirates' history. However, when I think of pirates I think of men like Blackbeard, Vane and Flint (for the most part). I like the depth the writers give to each character. The problem however lies in the credibility of it all. Just like in Westworld all leading female characters are strong, independent women (and nearly all have lesbian tendencies). Both Eleanor and Max irritated me since the first episode, but unfortunately had way to much screen time. Unbelievable considering the era in which the series take place. I could go on and on about how the political corectness of present day regarding say the LGBT, black people, independent women, black women, black lesbian women and so on, are forced into this show which just isn't credible in that era. The finale was dreadful. The earlier episodes this season were full of plot holes and eventually lead to... nothing.

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

This show changed the way I see television and series as a medium. Masterful story-telling, character-driven, deep and complex, full of details and fascinating characters. The acting performances were mind-blowing. It's the first time a show made me cry out in anguish, and even sob at one point. It is so intense I had to take breaks from it from time to time. Wonderful series.
