Black Sails plot

The year is 1715, piracy in the Caribbean is entering a golden age. New Providence Island, a former British colony, is now a free haven without God or command, where notorious pirates hold sway. The most feared among them is Captain Flint. But the British Navy is about to strike back, and under those circumstances, we're getting to know other facets of the hard-hitting pirate. Driven by deep, complex and even romantic motives, Flint joins forces with the impressive Eleanor Guthrie, daughter of the local smuggling king. Together they forge a plan to win the ultimate prize and ensure the survival of their way of life. However, their opponents are not the least. There are the rival captains who envy Flint for his power. There is Eleanor's father, who has other plans for the island. And there's John Silver, a young sailor recently mustered and constantly trying to secretly take the wind out of his captain's sails.

Black Sails season 1

Beautiful series, which at the moment mainly relies on the exotic locations and beautifully portrayed action. The characters don't fully captivate me yet, but I can see that happening. 8 episodes were just too few to start the story well. Looking forward to the next seasons after this final episode.

Black Sails season 2

Better than last season in every way. More explosive shifts in loyalty and blood feuds. More bittersweet romances and friendships between lost souls. More psychopathic captains who don't care about one innocent life more or less. More flashbacks to the man James McGraw once was and the monster Captain Flint has become. More scheming and backroom dealings in the tavern. 'Black Sails' can be a bit long-winded at times, but the sparse action scenes never disappoint. Although I hope future seasons will feature more sea battles. Ironically, most of the action in 'Black Sails' takes place on land or in harbors.
