About this show

BLACK SAILS tells the story of Captain Flint, the most brilliant and feared pirate of his day, who takes on a fast-talking addition to his crew who goes by the name John Silver.  Threatened with extinction on all sides, they fight for the survival of New Providence Island, a debauched paradise teeming with pirates, prostitutes, thieves and fortune seekers, a place defined by both its enlightened ideals and its stunning brutality.

If you just want to relax and watch something that isn't too complex in story line you will enjoy this. Boobs, blood and epic ships, what else do you need?

I think the acting is really what makes this show, at least for me. They make a script, that was already above par, glow. My favourite character (and its hard to chose from the plethora of great ones!) is Luke Arnold's John Silver. It has less ham and more intrigue then Pirates of the Caribbean, which I like. The set pieces and period costumes are stunningly executed. But its also not a show for the faint of heart.

Black Sails is wonderful in every way a show can be: peerless cast (especially Toby Stephens, Zach McGowan, Toby Schmitz, Louise Barnes) who deliver amazingly nuanced performances; astonishing special effects for a TV series (especially 3.02, certainly at the level of production of Game of Thrones); masterful score by the always impressive Bear McCreary; a complex, well paced, rewarding story with arcs that leave you satisfied. Better than anything else on TV, gets even better after S1
