Threatened with extinction on all sides, they fight for the survival of New Providence Island, the most notorious criminal haven of its day – a debauched paradise teeming with pirates, prostitutes, thieves and fortune seekers, a place defined by both its enlightened ideals and its stunning brutality.

Not nearly enough people have seen this. Great story with brilliant character development. Production value is of the charts.

Fantastic series that takes the tried-and-true Treasure Island adventure and pumps it up to 100. Absolutely entertaining and great to watch.

Absolutely amazing writing, script, and performances.

Une série vraiment bonne sur la piraterie, ce qui n'est pas un sujet déjà très abordé. Mérite d'être vu

It's impossible to over-rate this series. Black Sails is pirates done right, at last, putting to shame all other video renditions.

They made 4 seasons of this engrossing drama, & I have 2 say Pirates of the Caribbean certainly helped get them all made! Still good though!

Stopped watching around season two. I liked it but needed a break. I want to start again, but I'm just not up for it yet. That kind of show.

Game of thrones level story, but not nearly the recognition. Hope people soon realize how good this show is.

I hoped for more of a pirates of the Caribbean like show which it was not but still enjoyed the got version of it

Very good. It's kinda slow at times but this show deserves to be known as much as a Vikings, or a Spartacus.
