Best show on TV.  It's Game of Thrones without all the magic and ice zombie mumbo jumbo and too many characters and plot lines to track.

That season 3 finale was the best hour of TV I think I've ever seen.  Great battles, excellent dialogue between characters, and the birth of Long John Silver.  

And the Bear McCreary score is just phenomenal.  That guy is a genius of cranking up intensity.

If you liked the first season you will LOVE the next two.  It really took off after the first season of building up the characters.  It really might be one of the best on and if you like GoT, you'd love Black Sails.  I'm not saying they are the same, but the epic characters, good action (not overdone), and a gritty show fit that bill.   It's really one of the most underrated shows ever, if it was on HBO or somewhere other than Starz it would be a massive hit.

lol gtfo

I have been wanting to try the show out again. I started watching season one episode one (it was an edited version IIRC) when it first aired and I couldn't stay awake.

But, I am a fan of nautical stuff, especially pirates...

Speaking of which, you'll get to meet some more pirates on GoT this season...

IMO season 2 wasn't good. season 3 is much better though.

Is this a pirate show? I could dig that.

Yeah. Mostly fictional but does use some history.  

Has most of the famous Pirates in fictional and non fictional

 

Flint

Hornago

Silver

Vain

Calico Jack

Anne Bonny

Blackbeard

Silver

 

Uses the historical context of pirates as the background.  Could have done a better job with Blackbeard.  But the rest of the characters are great.  Only Pirates I wish they would have had was Kidd and Morgan.

It is great haven't seen the last episode yet. 

Watch it asap!  Epic, cinema quality stuff.  And the Flint-Silver interaction and how it ties everything together is fantastic.  Let alone the bridge it creates moving into next season

      Trevin Wallace - PFF Breakout Nominee

      You're not understanding what I'm saying. I'm saying that truly elite players will always have a market because they're elite difference makers and that at the "devalued positions" the NFL has discovered that those are spots where unless you have an elite talent there you have an opportunity to get similar results out of run of the mill talent for run of the mill money compared to good talent for good money. The drop off in overall unit performance isn't dramatic dropping down from "good" to "JAG" and it saves money to invest in the premium positions. It's about skill sets and what is hardest to find, simple supply and demand. There's just more serviceable LBs and RBs and safeties out there than their are CBs and pass rushers and QBs. And honestly, a big part of our historic lack of consistent success has been investing too many premium draft and cap resources into those devalued positions. Yeah, we've had a lot of great off the ball LBs and RBs on our way to be a franchise with an overall losing record. Pointing to our success at those positions is proving my point because I just point to our W-L record and overall lack of historical quality at premium positions like QB, WR, CB, etc. We've sucked in large part because we've valued the wrong position groups. In a vacuum it doesn't matter. But in actuality every high pick or big chunk of cap you spend on an off the ball LB or RB or IOL is a high pick or big chunk of cap you couldn't spend on a QB or CB or WR or OT.

      Right before Kuechly retired, we had some of the worst D line play that year.  We were ranked 29th against the run in 2019.   I remember even Kuechly struggled to get off the blocks at times because the linemen were on second level so quickly due to our porous line made up of Kyle Love, Vernon Butler and a washed up Gerald McCoy.
