1715. The Golden Age of Piracy in the Caribbean is at its apex. The former British colony of New Providence Island is now lawless territory, controlled by the most notorious pirate captains in history. The most feared among them is Captain Flint. But as the British Navy returns to these waters, threatening to exterminate Flint and his crew, another side of him emerges. Driven by deep, complicated, even romantic motives, Flint allies himself with the formidable Eleanor Guthrie, daughter of the local smuggling kingpin who turns the pirates’ loot into profits. Together, they forge a plan to hunt the ultimate prize, and by winning it, stave off reclamation of their home to ensure their survival. Arrayed against them are a series of opponents: rival captains, jealous of Flint's power; Eleanor's father, whose ambitions for the island conflict with his daughter’s; and a young sailor, John Silver, recently recruited onto Flint’s crew, who will somehow manage to constantly undermine his captain’s agenda.

Black Sails (2014)
Very mixed feelings. I'm only reviewing after the first season. The look of the pirates is only average and I'm not too keen on the plot itself, which is a bit of a bummer for a series. The action scenes are okay and pleasantly R-rated, although there were only two major action scenes in the first season, and the sex is also somewhat lacking. We'll see if I'll eventually give the second season a go, but the first one left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth.
