More Critic Reviews for Black Sails Season 2 All Critics (8) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (8) | Rotten (0) The stories are intricate enough to hold attention, but not too intricate. The action, which always supersedes the chatter, is the thing, and here it's something to see indeed. Jan 22, 2015 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic It's worth watching just to see this expertly constructed story build towards a bombshell that, for once, really does change everything. Jan 29, 2019 | Full Review… Phelim O'Neill Guardian Top Critic Black Sails may be full of pirates and prostitutes, but it's really about striving for respect, whether from an unruly crew or from polite society. Jan 26, 2015 | Full Review… Neil Genzlinger New York Times Top Critic Essentially this is pirate drama quite unlike any other. As one of the more willing ladies says to a conquest: "You're so full of surprises." Jan 29, 2019 | Full Review… David Stephenson Daily Express (UK) The cinematography is a beautiful as ever, the costumes - already good - have improved, and the real history of pirates isn't being entirely ignored. And now we love these characters and can hardly wait to see what trouble they'll get into next. Jan 29, 2019 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review… TS Rhodes Den of Geek Overall, this was a very strong episode to start the second season. Some wonderful performances all around and the writing was as wonderful as ever. Jan 26, 2015 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review… Henry A. Otero TV Fanatic Black Sails gave us quite a hearty premiere. There were no real signs or seeds of, perhaps, the full scope of Season 2 that I could tell but perhaps this year's run is best spent simply expanding upon the themes that were already previously set. Jan 26, 2015 | Rating: 8.5/10 | Full Review… Matt Fowler IGN Movies The drama is bolder and sharper than ever, and it's become the crowd pleaser it has always meant to be. Jan 23, 2015 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review… Jessica Rawden CinemaBlend View All Critic Reviews (8) Audience Reviews for Black Sails: Season 2 May 30, 2019 After a somewhat slower season 1 season 2 is where things get really good. If you're not hooked so far give up. If you like it so far - prepare for season 3! Samir A May 07, 2019 Great storytelling and adventure with fictional characters sharing the space with the legends of the golden age of pirates. The overarching doom inching closer every minute whilst our antagonists and protagonists squabble and switch sides and roles with every throw of the dice. Quite compelling to watch. Akshay B Jul 10, 2018 Like "game of thrones" with pirates - i love it!!! Michael S Apr 28, 2018 Fortunes continue to shift in Season 2 of Black Sails like the tides themselves. The conflict continues to develop towards something more ambitious than salty-sea dogs. Criminal philosophy so rarely inspires such greatness as themes of revolution are foreshadowed. Unfortunately for justice, so many evil deeds continued to go unpunished while good deeds earn sudden, harsh fury. Flints quest for revenge is doubly intensified and enabled by careful adherence to what could be called a code. Silver becomes a blood-in member. Jack Rackham strikes vein to baptize his captaincy and a vane to baptize Annes, making Max the de facto pirate queen. Black Sails continues to deliver authentic entertainment while challenging the norms of the genre. I cant help but see these broader implications influencing the show Outlander specifically a show that boldly crosses historical fiction genre boundaries. If the future of Nassau were not already known, I would eagerly anticipate the inevitable conflict with the crown. That said, the show will have done right if they deliver on the heart-wrenching, profoundly personal tragedy Flint has lived, for only a war can put us out of his misery. Like his crew, I hate Flint but know that once you join the team that he's your best chance at survival. Only the ruthlessness of personal tragedy and great injustice can motivate such a single-minded monster, a monster with a taste for the destruction of England. Brian B Apr 19, 2018 This is the season the show really comes on its own, besides Flint and his crew I started enjoying the other Pirate characters. Also, we finally get to know about Flints past and what fuels him. Most of the episodes were like a boat in thunderstorms, dark, full of turmoils, nothing is sure and spectacular to watch. The crazy start and finale are mind-blowing. Mayank A Nov 10, 2017 one of my favourite shows ever if not the very favourite Lachlan M May 13, 2017 I liked so mucho how the concept of greys is showed. Any person is a good or bad person, just take their own decisions Juani T Aug 01, 2016 Fantastic season full of unexpected twists and fantastic storytelling. A massive step-up from season 1 makes this one of my favourite series. James B May 10, 2016 The second season really surprised me. She has a very strong script, with creative and well crafted twists, besides giving more weight and responsibility to all characters in the plot. It was very well written and presents special and practical purposes quite convincing. For me, the best season of any historical series I've ever seen. It deserves 100% Translated with Google Translate Arthur M Apr 12, 2016 An exciting , great quality and amazing storyline show, happy it's continuing!! jasmin c See all Audience reviews News & Features 150 Erotic Movies Ranked worst to best! 2019's Most Anticipated 63 movies coming up this year 200 Essential Movies Chosen by RT staff!
