Really great if you're having trouble sleeping. Not as disappointing as the Camelot series, but only because I cared about the subject matter more. ::)

I have only seen the first half of the pilot. Looked OK even though pirates, in the romantiziced way,  is not really my thing. HBO *always* deliverers as far as I am concerned. All shows do not reach the stellar heights of The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Rome, GoT...,  but they are almost always watchable.

My only problem is that the lead Toby Stephens is a horrendous over actor. That's what spoils it a bit for me. Still, I've only seen the clips so I may yet be surprised.

Apparently Guy Ritchie is making a Treasure Island which could be good.

Haven't seen it, but have just finished watching Season 1 of Vikings on DVD, which I thought was pretty damn good - not HBO, but quite HBO-like.

I'm watching it when I happen to see it in the listings.  Not very impressed overall.  Much too talky for my taste, just isn't "Piraty" enough.  Lovely ladies though. :)
