Black sail is the show just like name suggests. If I say the director have read more novels about pirates than the pirates itself it will not be exaggerated. The true mindsets of pirates, civilians, companies, merchants, brothels are shown in perfect manner. The show is not about very big sea voyage or covering whole world and telling stories about different cultures. It simply tells us stories about west indian pirates and their day to day life and struggles betrayal they have while surviving. A small island of Nassau ruled by Guthries. Everything was fine until England sets its eyes on the island.
The best part of the show is its not about just sex life murders betrayal but its all about survival. The so called civilization how it affects the centuries and life of people living in that century.
Acting is superb. Local artists played very well role. Every character has its due presence. Costume designing is remarkable. Graphics are awesome. Action sequences are tremendous.
Do not compare this show with pirates of Caribbean. Poc was more about adventures of pirates while this show is more of insight of pirates and colonial effect of modern days on pirates. Its a good show. Give it a chance. First fes episodes seem like boring but be patient and you will be happy to see how this show takes turns. 10/10
