Trailer looked decent and it has good ratings. Never even heard of it before you posted it though.

I was interested as I'd read Treasure Island (which it's all based on) and first series was alright.

But it seems to be descending into typical "OMG NOZZZZ EVERYBODY IS GUNNA DIE!!"

Kinda hard to take serious when you effectively know who lives and the ultimate outcome. TBH I just get bored of tv shows when the lead characters are always in danger, but you know they'll be back next week. Fair enough a cliff hanger at the end of a series, but the end of every episode? It just ends up losing its appeal.

I've seen like one episode of series 3, not sure how much more I'll bother watching.

From someone who hasn't read the book, would you think they would like it?

Tbh it doesn't matter if you've read the book or not. Which is basically about recovering long lost pirate treasure of Captin Flint. But there's only a handful of characters from the book, including Flint (who isn't directly in the book, but obviously mentioned) and Silver, the main antagonist of the book.

The first series started off well and you could see how events are established for the book. But it quickly drifts off the book and series 3's connection to the book is a few people have the same name as those in a book also about pirates.


I don't want to include to much as it might be spoilers, but at this point I'd say it's better if you don't read the book.

But I can't say if you'd enjoy it or not, but if you like pirates and full frontal nudity (both varieties), you may well like this.

It followed the trend from my previous post.

Having read the book, it made no sense. But forgetting the book (like the script writers clearly did), the last series was good.

Forget all of these people, black sails was fucking dope. I liked that show a lot. I watched up until I caught up to live tv then fell off simply because I hate watching shit 1once a week. I've actually thought about catching up since there is a whole new season available on Netflix or Hulu that I haven't seen. I thought it was dope. I'm also not english, so their "bad" accents seemed fine to me
