its cool, something to watch on Saturday since nothing else comes on. I'm still not sure what the overall story arch is about in regards to getting guns, the 2 captains, etc. It should follow the "Spartacus" blue print a little. One thing about Spartacus was you knew you were going to get some cool battle and sex scenes every episode. The pirates are spending too much time on the island, should be more battles like in AC - Black Flag but I'm sure they don't have to budget for that and CGI would probably look terrible so they probably saving all their budget for one or two big ship battles. Not sure if any of these characters actually existed but they do need to add at least one famous pirate like Black Beard and there was a real pirate named Black Caesar who was an escaped slave turned pirate who ending up working with Black Beard. They should implement them 2 at some point...
The show starts in 1715, a year before Blackbeard gets to New Providence. He joins Hornigold crew in 1716. Betcha they introduce Blackbeard at the end of this season as Edward Teach, which will make season 2
I like it so far, episode 5 saved this show for me. The slaves in the cargo hold scene had me like. Hope that black biter pirate fukks up the British captain Bryson
