Show Title: Black Sails Audience Rating: Mature Warnings: Strong violence, nudity, scenes of rape Length of Episodes: 1 hour Length of Series: 4 seasons (38 episodes) Why you recommend it: I remember blowing through this series during a free viewing period for Starz, as I was immediately hooked. If you enjoy historical action-adventure this definitely fits the bill. It's a story with multiple characters with complex motivations and shifting loyalties and alliances. Various historical pirates appear in the series.
The story takes place primarily in Nassau, Bahamas but events take place in various locations and the story evolves continuously. My biggest hook for the show was Captain Flint, who is one of those strategic planners always thinking several steps ahead. In many ways a tragedy, the show does well at being unpredictable.
