I finished all four seasons of STARZ's "Black Sails". There are a few things I would have done differently if I were a pirate, but then again, I'm not a pirate back in the 1700s.
After watching all 4 seasons, I think "Black Sails" makes the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies look like Bugs Bunny cartoons.
In terms of SQ and PQ, there is a good reason "Black Sails" has won TV awards for best sound effects and visual effects. The 1080p BD looks awesome and sounds awesome in DTS 5.1. This is a high budget production series.
The character development here is top notch, especially of Long John Silver, Captain Flint, and Jack Rackham. I also love the female characters of Anne Bonny and Max.

When I first watched the 1st episode, I wasn't totally hooked because I didn't know enough of the background. I should have looked up the pirate characters of Long John Silver, Captain Flint, Blackbeard, Jack Rackham, Anne Bonny, Billy Bones, Charles Vane, and Israel Hands.
