    Didn't expect that now in fairness. I was waiting and waiting for some arrow to sever the rope, and when Billy said "Now" i thought the lads were going in to start the rescue. Was wrong on that too! Talk about making sure!

    Yeah, I was just thinking of Prince of Thieves.

    Billy will have to explain that now, though he may wait for a rebellion to start before he goes anywhere.

    I only realized after it ended that it's the finale :(
    Amazing season though! Probably my favorite show only behind GOT.

    I'm living in hope that because Jerry Bruckheimer is a producer that as long as they keep making Pirate of the Caribbean movies that they'll keep making Black Sails, even though it all ends in Treasure Island there's loads of possibility in it.

    Love this series!! My favourite at the moment. The long wait begins now for the next season.

    Can't understand why its not more popular and that the viewer numbers are so low compared to other series.

    I was looking for something new to watch after finishing another tv series and didn't want to start GOT just yet, caught this out of the blue and being a massive pirate fan immediately LOVED it. I got through every episode in less than 2 weeks. desperate for more now! if anyone is wanting to feed their pirate fix till the next series starts I highly recommend playing assassins creed 4 or assassins creed rogue and the movie master and commander.

    Definitely. A lot better than Vikings. The first season is a bit slow but it kicks off in the later episodes. Season 2 and 3 have been fantastic television. Great characters.

    Oh how I love this show, the way the fight/battle scenes are shot is amazing, gives a great feel of just how bloody it must have been. Amazing characters too, they did some brilliant casting when selecting the roles.

    The battle at the end of season 2 with the aerial bombardment was nuts, felt like the D-Day landing from Saving Private Ryan in terms of sheer effectiveness.

    Only started watching this after Game of Thrones ended as I was looking for something that ticks all the boxes - first season is slow enough and being honest, far too soap-like for me in spots, but it improves massively towards the end and throughout season 2. Looks gorgeous as well, very convincing naval battle scenes.

    I found the first series had more direction , Ive about 3 to go on the second but found a few episodes a bit meandering. Hopefully it finishes strong

    Only realized there that the actor who plays Woods Rogers played Ser Arthur Dane in Game of Thrones.

    Keep with it lad. The third series is the best imo. The ending of the second is rather good too.

    One of the strongest aspects of the show is that every series ends well. One of the reasons you put up with some of the cheap mid-season episodes is that you know the money is being saved for the big finish.

    True. Also it allows the show to build over a season. Simple tv, but they do it very well.

    Starz just announced that the fourth season of its original series Black Sails will be its last. The 10-episode Season 4 of the Treasure Island prequel returns in 2017 with its pirates at war in the West Indies.
