The pirate adventures of Captain Flint and his men twenty years prior to Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic “Treasure Island.” Flint, the most brilliant and most feared pirate captain of his day, takes on a fast-talking young addition to his crew who goes by the name John Silver. 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.

User Reviews

One of the best series on TV. Phenomenal period piece based on Treasure Island. Gritty with lore and a share of myth. Satisfying finale.

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

Absolutely amazing writing, script, and performances.

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

Black Sails had awesome pirate vibes and huge sets. Season 1 was the peak; after that the storytelling kinda set sail.

Simply put, one of my absolute favourite shows, and I've watched A LOT of shows. It's easily in my top 3.

Great time period Show that worth a watch for Pirate lovers. But series true villain for all this trouble is hilarious and personified evil.

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

Rick Anthony McArthur

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!

One of the best pieces of pirate media since Pirates of the Caribbean. All the real-life pirates are awesome
