- falter024. maj 2025Much to like. I mean romanticized of course but if I wanted to see the really real world Id look out the window .. Or ya know read a history book or something. Not as entertaining.
- The Gutter Monkey24. marts 2025A surprisingly well-written show that weaves in bits of real-life history to tell a fictional origin story of a Treasure Island character.
- Hakihiko16. december 2024An Adventurous Masterclass in Pirate Drama Black Sails is a thrilling and well-crafted series that elevates the pirate genre to new heights. Set in the golden age of piracy, this gritty and intense prequel to Treasure Island masterfully blends historical events with fictionalized accounts of legendary pirates like Captain Flint, Charles Vane, and Blackbeard. The show excels in its character development, weaving complex and morally ambiguous arcs that keep viewers invested throughout. Toby Stephens as Captain Flint delivers a powerhouse performance, portraying a leader torn between his ideals and darker instincts. Each major character, from the fiery Eleanor Guthrie to the cunning John Silver, is layered, making their alliances and betrayals all the more impactful. The writing is sharp, with intelligent dialogue that goes beyond the typical action-adventure fare, touching on themes of power, freedom, and loyalty. The show also doesn't shy away from exploring difficult social issues adding depth to the storytelling. Visually, Black Sails is stunning. The high production value shines through in the meticulously detailed sets, breathtaking naval battles, and sweeping cinematography. Every sea battle is choreographed with precision, offering a visceral, edge-of-your-seat experience. While the pace may be slow at times, especially in the earlier episodes as it sets the stage for larger conflicts, the payoffs are consistently worth the build-up. As the show progresses, the stakes only grow higher, leading to a finale that ties the narrative threads together in a satisfying and thought-provoking way. In short, Black Sails is more than just a pirate show; it's a complex drama filled with political intrigue, intense action, and richly developed characters. It stands out as one of the best series in the adventure genre, blending history and fiction into a swashbuckling epic with real emotional weight.
