Black Sails, Season 1 English Subtitles

I like pirates so I thought I'd enjoy this but it's just so bad.

It's got Pirates, a great story, great characters that you'll care about, great sets, and beautiful women with full bush. What more can you ask for?

I am hooked! This is an awesome show, I've never been moved to review a show, but this...this is really good. The sets are so well done, the characters are so well done, and the banter/dialogue is perfectly gripping. My wife says it's too violent, there too much dong, but the show is incredible and I look forward to binge watching season II.

This show starts out well enough, but the action and storyline quickly digresses into an intricate soap opera centered about a brothel and interpersonal feelings. When that tack finally runs its course, season 2 digresses even further to endless flashbacks, wherein it finally jumps the shark and we learn that Flint is gay. If I could permanently delete this from my iTunes account I certainly would.

I stopped watching this show when it became painfully obvious that the writers and producers have no clue as to the early 18th century Americas. No one used the “dollar” in 1715; it hadn’t been invented yet. The specie used throughout the Americas was the Spanish ducat or for the British - the pound. And the phrase “Spanish dollar” makes no sense; the word “ducat” was well understood. Everyone in this show seems to speak English which never happened. Spanish was the lingua franca along with a lot of French. Furthermore, no woman in her right mind would ever punch a pirate in his jaw - here we see 21st century values veneered onto a 18th century context - which is absurd. The Royal Navy would never land one boat from one ship at Nassau. They always arrived in overwhelming force at any port not directly under their control. Furthermore, the pirates would have scattered at the first sign of the Royal Navy. No pirate would ever take on the Royal Navy; you did and you were exterminated; no ifs, ands or buts. In short, a silly story punctuated by lurid sex scenes that have no relevance to the story.

Dialogue smooth as silk, gorgeous sets and cinematography, a gripping plot, and action so real you can taste the blood. Highly underrated show right now.

Ok so I picked up season one and two and I know season 3 is in progress... so what gives... where is my season 3?

I think the plot and acting is great, but overall the show was quite boring. The lesbian scenes were kinda hot though

Such a great show, refreshing to watch a pirate series instead of the boring old zombie and vampire shows. A++
