Does anyone on here watch this? I've been getting through it recently and just finished the second season. I liked season one for what it was but it really came into it's own during season two. One of my favourite seasons of TV I've seen and the finale was absolutely brilliant (and that battle sequence was phenomenal, cinematic as ****)
This show definitely deserves more attention. Gonna get season three watched in time for the final season next month. It's basically a Treasure Island prequel that brings together characters from the novel, actual historical figures and original characters, it's really interesting how it weaves them together.

I keep getting told to watch it but I don't think it'd my cup of tea. What do you think?

I suppose it depends on what you're into but it became one of my favourite shows during its second season. I know the general response to the show wasn't much to write home about during season one but became really positive from the second onwards and after watching it I can see why. As I say, I did like season one but I wasn't really hooked, whereas during the second I was completely.
If anyone does start watching and isn't feeling it at first, stick around for season two and you'll be rewarded |

Yeah, it's so good! I've been meaning to finish S2 but it's been so long I've forgot what's happened

The single tracking shot in episode 8 of season 3 as Vane and Anne are ambushing Woodes' carriage was amazing That and the Charlestown battle from season 2 are some of the most impressive scenes I've seen on a TV show, the production of this show is ridiculously good.
Just two episodes left until I'm caught up. Looking forward to being up to date for the final season but I'll miss binging it too |

Got caught up on the current season last night (well, save for last night's newest episode which I'll watch later). It's top notch as usual Part of me is sad about it being the final season but the other part is glad it's getting a proper ending and I've no doubt it'll go out brilliantly.
I always go on about the stunning visuals in this show so I'm glad season 4 is continuing to deliver. The underwater scenes in the premiere, especially the pan up to the shipwreck above Spoiler: Spoiler: Last edited by Lostie!; 20-02-2017 at 11:17 AM. |

Episode 6 Wish I didn't have the big scene spoiled beforehand but it didn't lessen the impact. Can't believe there's only 4 episodes left until it's all over.
Spoiler: Don't think I really need to use tags since nobody else here is watching (bloody heathens ) but just in case any lucky soul who discovers the show in the future happens across this thread Last edited by Lostie!; 07-03-2017 at 10:42 PM. |

Watched a few (3-6?) episodes of this (Season 2, i think) and thought it was good. Forgot about it later after i lost the stream where the channel that aired the show was showing.

Hopefully you get to see it in full at some point, one of the well-crafted shows I've ever seen.

Just watched 4x08. They're setting up the endgame and lead in to Treasure Island nicely now. Even though I haven't read Treasure Island, I know the gist and one of the (many) aspects I've enjoyed about the show is seeing Flint, Silver and Billy gradually move towards their roles in the book. Silver and Billy in particular seemed nothing like what I understood their book counterparts to be back at the start of the show but four seasons later, they're now nothing like they were in season 1 and much more in-keeping with their literary reputations. It's brilliant pay-off for the writers taking the time to craft a proper origin story over four whole seasons as opposed to trying to cram stuff in earlier seasons.
Idelle mentioning Charlotte is another little thing I love about Black Sails, it doesn't just toss aside and forget about the side characters (like how many of them have continued to play important roles in the story rather than show up for an episode or 2 and then vanish). Also found out today that Mrs Hudson is married to Toby Stephens in real life (and that she was in the "Dalek" episode of Doctor Who!) As surprising as finding out Berringer is his brother in real life If only his mother could have made an appearance too, Maggie Smith appearing for even one scene would have been too good Last edited by Lostie!; 27-03-2017 at 10:19 PM. |

Finally someone else! One of the most criminally overlooked shows there's been tbh.
Watched the penultimate episode earlier, one more and it's all over Spoiler: Last edited by Lostie!; 27-03-2017 at 10:27 PM. |

We have loved watching it....sometimes found it hard to keep up with with the storyline but hasn't stopped us watching. Watched episode 6 tonight...sad it's coming to an end.

And I love how the Urca gold that kicked off the plot way back at the beginning has remained in play throughout the four seasons. It took me a little while to realise it was the show's version of the titular treasure from Treasure Island Last edited by Lostie!; 27-03-2017 at 10:57 PM. |

Shamefully never read treasure Island...guess I thought of it as 'boys' reading as it was about pirates etc. However Long John Silver always was a great childhood memory for me and when we started watching it I said to my husband that Silver was obviously that character. Then along came Blackbeard and so the penny started to drop. I love the characters..and the whole demise makes you realise all this stuff really went on.
We have watched a bit of 'Mutiny' and its given my boys the incentive to watch The Bounty...all fascinating stuff. |

I really like how the show mixes in real historical figures with the fictional characters too, when I first started watching it was interesting to read up and find out how many characters were based on real people from the era that I'd never heard of. |
