Where do I even start?
If you want a show about pirates, you dont have many options. Luckily, you are able to check out Black Sails! Its not only a show about piracy, it explores war, trauma, identities, themes like freedom and what it truly means to be free, among many other things. It may seem like a lot to get through, but once you get started, the show does its best to guide you. It has very few flaws, but the main one is pacing in the first and last season. Season 1 is very slow, some people may give even up, I assure you that you should push through because Season 2 and 3 are almost perfect. Season 4 feels rushed, however, its very eventful and exciting, and pacing aside, its probably my favorite.
The entire cast is wonderful, but as I usually single out someone in my reviews, in Black Sails thats gotta be Toby Schmitz in his role as Jack Rackham. An extremely convincing and witty performance.
In Black Sails you will see very few cliches and the show utilizes its characters and their motivations very well. Almost all of them are complete scumbags who would steal your dog to make a few coins, but its very hard not to sympathize when they feel sad or enraged. However, none of them have pet parrots so you would be right to hate all of them. Despite that, I definitely recommend this show. Very bingeable and enjoyable.
