Black Sails boasts visual appeal, but the show's bland characters aren't strong enough to keep the show from being dragged down into its murky depths of aimless exposition. Read critic reviews

é uma serie que me surpreendeu. sendo esta series é o prologo do livro "A Ilha do Tesouro", ela se ambienta bem a seu período histórico, apresentando personagens históricos bem interessantes.

It starts slowly but quickly becomes spectacular and epic, great performances, battle scenes and script, this is easily one of the best shows ever made, anyone who likes Game of Thrones should see it !!!

History is full of real legendary pirates that this show could have been a great main character anti-hero but what do we get a bad retelling of "Treasure Island", I say bad because it's just a rehash of that famous novel. A bold pirate looking for a trove of loot. I wonder if the makers of the show even read "Treasure Island" or saw any of the adaptations. Flint didn't find the treasure from the book, he took it. The legend of Captain Flint is his island had the loot of a thousand plundered ships. Hence, treasure island. This devaluing Flint as a legend and a threat. Lastly, what is with this Spanish "dollar" bullshit. It's Spanish doubloon. Even kindergarten kids knows that. If they weren't going to do Captain Flint right they had a chance to pick historical pirates which considering they have series about real queens in history I don't see why they went this dumb direction.

Top fantasy tv series of all time! Written like a novel, chapters and characters unfold over time. Master class in arcs and slow reveals and how to lean into themes as well as great acting and action. The writing is at times poetry. This is how you do a prequel and give life and incredible depth to thinly sketched borrowed characters. Be patient with the first few episodes of season 1, it took a bit of time to throw off Micheal Bay shackles, but it still holds up as part of the entire fabric of the show.

Excellent writing, acting, sets - overall top notch only surpassed by seasons 2-4
-
Forget the critics! This show is a hidden treasure! Very well produced, great characters and great acting. Toby Stephens is riveting in one of the best television performances of all time. I put off watching this for years but I'm so glad I eventually gave it a try. It's now one of my favorite shows. I was sorry to see it end but I plan on watching it again and again.

I thought I was going to watch a pirate show not a recreation of the wolf of wall street. These are the nicest most thoughtful pirates ever. This show can walk the plank (except this show is too refined to have a plank).
-
Slow start but very glad I stuck with it watched all four season and kept me very entertained lots of treachery never knowing who to trust , plenty of surprises till the very end .
-
Despite a weak start in the first three episodes, season one of Black Sails sets the groundwork for complex and rich character arcs, especially for Captain Flint, played perfectly by Toby Stephens. None of what worked in later seasons would've been possible without the seeds planted here.

Black Sails is a fantastic show which boasts an achievement that few others can, it knew when to end. So many TV shows are dragged out or rushed until they are ruined. Black Sails however, gets better every season until it reaches its wholly satisfying conclusion. Season 1 can be slow at parts, but battle through to the second installment and you will not be able to turn away.
