I'm so excited to see another reaction to this fantastic show! It's so wonderfully and masterfully written, directed and acted. I hope you enjoyed it and continue to watch as this show deserves all the attention it receives.
Probably one of my favourite TV shows ever. And that chap at the end with the sideburns, will transform into the best pirate you've ever seen in 300 years time 😉
OH MY GOD YESSSSS MORE BLACK SAILS REACTIONS THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS EVER AND EACH SEASON ONLY GETS MORE INTENSE you guys are in for SUCH an experience you have no idea!
Absolutely ♥ this show. 5 of my top 10 shows were all on round the same time! BTW - some of the characters are based on real people &/or characters from Treasure Island book
Yay! Thrilled for new reactors to find this amazing show. Captain Flint is my favorite character of all time. As others have mentioned, the show is a loose prequel to the classic novel "Treasure Island". It takes characters from that book -- like John Silver & Captain Flint -- puts them in a historical era known as the Golden Age Of Piracy and adds in some real pirate figures of the day, like Captain Vane and his two companions Jack & Anne Bonny. I look forward to seeing more of your reactions!
Honestly my favorite show of all time. Even above Breaking Bad for me. I love Breaking Bad too its my #2 but Black Sails is just truly special. I dont even know how to put it in words really. The writing, the acting, the set design, just literally everything. Its fantastic.
As others have noted, the cast is a combination of literary, historical and original characters. The Republic of Pirates in Nassau actually existed. Urca di Lima was a real Spanish Treasure galleon. (Don't look it up, though, as it might spoil a particular plot point.)
I love how this show mixes the fictional (both Treasure Island backstory and original) with the historical. My 3 favourite characters epitomize that: John Silver (Treasure Island), Max (original), and Anne Bonny (real pirate). The port city of Nassau on New Providence Island is today the capital of the Bahamas but back then was indeed a floundering colony with a pirate problem (or a pirate base with an empire problem, depending on your perspective), with famous pirates like Charles Vane, Jack Rackham, and Anne Bonny being based out of there, while obviously the fictional ones like John Silver and Captain Flint weren't.
I've watched a lot of things, but to this day I still think Captain Flint is the best character ever writen for television, only losing this spot, maybe, by another character that is also on this show, that I prefer that you guys discover for yourselves. This show is fantastic.
This show was done as prequel to the book Treasure Island, while also featuring real pirates from history. The writing staff did their research well. Enjoy the series.
Back when it aired someone was arguing that they ripped off Assassin's Greed Black Flag. That's because Most of these characters are historical figures.
Some historical events also happen in each. But other than that the story really isnt close. They both have different routes to lead them to the real events even if it has some of the same historical people.
Thank you! I like having closed captions on. When we started watching the first 2 episodes with them turned on, they were incredibly out of sync. It ended up being more distracting. Maybe we'll try it again with the 4th episode and see if it's better. - Amber
@@TimberReels Thank you for the reply, Amber. Maybe just have a pen and paper handy when the names come up? Regardless, there are really only about a dozen main characters on Black Sails versus Game of Thrones that gave us 52 we had to try and remember.
this is one of the best shows ever created ... the writing, dialogue,acting, character development it's a legit hidden gem and sooo underrated
Hard agree
I'm so here for this! Black Sails is a gem with infinite rewarch value. By far my favorite show.
Yay!!!! Extremely underrated show!!! The writing, the characters, and the action is phenomenal!!!

I wish this TV series was popular back in day when it was a new series. But, it came and went though this is a HIDDEN GEM 💎.
Fresh sub for Black Sails
Welcome aboard!
What a fantastic choice you have made to watch this show, it ranks amongst the best.
We are loving it so far! - Amber

I'm strapped in! I was kinda the same when I first watched (knew almost nothing about the show). Best way to start off IMO.
Yay!!! That's how I usually like to enjoy content. The less I know, the better. 😄 - Amber

This show is fantastic.
John Silver is by far my favourite character arc.

Ahhh yeah. Love this show. Subscribed!
I will follow to the end. This show is so fantastic.

assassin's greed is a killer song title
Taking notes or using closed captions is very helpful for learning names. At least in the beginning.
