A prequel to the classic Robert Louis Stevenson novel "Treasure Island," "Black Sails" is a pirate adventure that centers on the tales of Captain Flint, who has a reputation throughout the West Indies as being the most brilliant, most feared of all the Golden Age pirates. It's 1715, and as Flint fights for the survival of New Providence Island -- a debauched paradise teeming with pirates, prostitutes, thieves and fortune seekers -- in the wake of threats from British and Spanish forces, he aligns himself with Eleanor Guthrie, daughter of the local kingpin, to hunt the ultimate prize and ensure his people's survival. But standing in the way are rival captains, Eleanor's intrusive father, and perhaps the bigger obstacle of all: John Silver, a young, fast-talking, authority-flouting sailor recently added to Flint's crew.

At the last, we are left with the beginnings of the Brethren Courty, pirates around the table. Before them is war. And the Legend of Long John Silver. Go to Full Review Ryan Sandoval TV.com 01/25/2016
I like when a show knows what it is and works to amplify its themes while working within the constraints of its originally established world. Go to Full Review David Griffin Screen Rant 01/25/2016
Black Sails is quickly evolving from a series that was just something fun to watch on a Saturday night, to one of the better dramas on television. Go to Full Review Matt Fowler IGN Movies 01/25/2016

Black Sails kicked off its third season with a darkened, changed Flint, a peg-legged Silver, an incarcerated Eleanor, and -- as this year's grand pirate entry -- Blackbeard. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

See more Robert F @RT60364693 05/14/2024 Criminally underrated show. See more Buck W @RT72524299 07/29/2023 Season 3 went full throttle. Outstanding acting by Luke Arnold most notably. Hannah New a close second. See more Jose R @RT66084319 10/31/2022 Each season is getting better and better in everything, we see the fall and rise of characters, more violence and realism ... impressive. See more Morgan D @RT17062655 04/28/2022 In its third season, Black Sails continued to grow stronger and committed to its themes of how storytelling and our perceptions influence history. Flint, despite sympathetic motives, struggles with the idea that everyone sees him as a monster. And Black Sails offers some of the most engaging LGBT and polyamorous representation in TV.
