Black Sails TV Series

[El Frantico]

I'm enjoying this show... The first few epsidopes in I thought i was going to be giving up on it, but it gets much better. I'm more excited about the show each time I watch.

  They actually get a bit of history stuff right. For example,  merchants go to closed quarters instead of attempting to fight the pirates head on as they often did historically.

 They way they dress is absolutely ridiculous though. Charles Vane looks like a South American pop star and in one episode Jack Rackham is wearing sunglasses! Definitely my least favorite part of the show.

60s sunglasses though!

ahah, that said, the last one was a little better. Seems that they don't mind spending some money for a big show, its just... as they really WANTED To write about feelings and politics. But we want blood!

But we want blood!

this and the next one seems to be plenty :-) I really enjoyed tonight's one

Im upto the EP3 now and im quite enjoying it. Not great for the histortical aspect but i don't think they are selling it as that either.

[Captain Blood]

Just got access to this with a free trial of Amazon Prime.

Only watched the first episode, but I think it's pretty damned good. It looks fabulous, and is suitably brutal in it's protrayal of pirate violence.

Yes, there are a few too many people who look like male models, but Toby Stephens, who I agree can be a bit of a ham, is extremely good as Captain Flint from what I've seen so far.

Fantastic series. Watched the whole series over two nights. Stephens makes a brilliantly Flint, completely ruthless yet likeable. Can't wait for next season. Though we will have Crossbones to watch in the mean time, though I'm a bit wary of that from what I've read and seen so far.

Just watched episode one after reading Captain Blood's post; I'm hooked.

[Captain Blood]

Aaaarrr!

Just got to work out how I can cram in watching ten episodes of this and ten episodes of Vikings season 2, before my Amazon Prime free trial runs out in 27 days time...

Whilst painting several more teams for the LPL... 

Bloody hell... I might actually have to subscribe...

That could be tricky, they release Vikings S2 episodes each Friday after the US screening on Thursdays, S2E6 was last Friday, so with 4 more episodes to go I think you may miss the last episode by a day or two

Game of Thrones S4 starts tomorrow night too, so that may also add to your schedule.

Bloody hell - is that on Amazon Prime as well?
Thought Sky kept their HBO goodies firmly to themselves... 

Well, that's it... Guess I'm going to have to subscribe...

No, not on Amazon Prime, on Sky - sorry if I got your hopes up.

I think I pay 10€/month here for HBO Nordic. I think that is quite reasonable. I get to see a lot of great stuff for that money. Girls; Fleming, the Man Who Would Be Bond, Vikings, True Blood, Big Love...

Just watched the last episode of season 1 - very enjoyable romp.

[Captain Blood]

Bloody hell Mark. You don't hang around do you?! 
I'm just about to watch episode three!

He's got far too much time on his hands. We shall have to occupy his time more effectively.
