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.

Makes Game of Thrones look positively Shakespearean. Cheap sets, cgi filler, woeful script, bad acting and attempts to grab on the coat tails of the recent upturn in public desire for escapist action drama but fails. In a word... Stank.

Try going legit and Google Play just mess you around, episode 9 has been online illegally for over a week, on Tv and Amazon the final episode has even aired and yet here on Google Play nothing... Cant even find a way of asking about when it will be available.

A story of pirates, cutthroats, rogues and rascals. This is for the adults, one of blood, guts, sex and ultimate betrayal. There is no honour or loyalty amongst thieves. Watch as you get a glimpse of The Golden Age of Piracy.
