Post Black Sails
Anyone else love this show? I tuned into season 1 just on the pirate premise alone and while it had its ups and downs I was interested enough to continue into season 2. This season really kicked it up a notch plot wise though and how satisfying was that finale? Now that's a finale, unlike the poorly written Walking Dead! Hope season 3 gets even better with Blackbeard.

It's quite addictive Moog. I was iffy for a little bit during Season 1 but just stick with it. Season 1 kind of introduces you to the world and there is a lot of action (oh and sex lol). The payoffs become very shocking moments in Season 2 are well worth the wait. So many subplots going on as you find real motivations for many of the characters and they are not what you expected.

I'm terrible at sticking with shows if there's something I find not quite right initially... even if I can't put my finger on it. Think the main character put me off. I'd seen him relatively recently in a heavily advertised docudrama about Michael Hutchence and I couldn't stop thinking about that. I really like the premise though

Big fan of the show. It's refreshing to see a show about pirates (and the period) that doesn't have an eye rolling Johnny Depp staggering around. Season 2 really kicked it up a notch. Really looking forward to season 3.
