TV show description:
This adventure series takes place in 1715 in the Caribbean. Pirates have been declared enemies of all civilization. Ruthless Captain Flint (Toby Stevens) is feared amongst pirates and is facing threats on all sides.
A former British colony, New Providence Island has become a notorious haven for pirates, prostitutes, and criminals. Richard Guthrie (Sean Cameron Mitchell) and his daughter Eleanor (Hannah New) run a smuggling operation on the island, turning the pirate’s ill-gotten gains into profits.
Captain Flint is so obsessed with finding gold-laden galleon, the Urca de Lima, he almost drives his crew to mutiny. On his side, he has the tough talking Eleanor, his quartermaster Mister Gates (Mark Ryan), and boatswain William “Billy Bones” Manderly (Tom Hoppe).
Arrayed against him are various opponents including Richard Guthrie and rival captain, Vane (Zach McGowen), with his right hand, Rockham (Toby Schmitz). Vane and Eleanor have a sexual history but now, she’s with Max (Jessica Parker Kennedy), a savvy prostitute.
Smooth talker John Silver (Luke Arnold) is a new member of Flint’s crew. He’s hiding an important secret and he uses it to undermine his captain’s agenda at every turn.

What do you think? Do you like the Black Sails TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for another season?
Please continue with Black Sails – really enjoying the series and do not want this to end. If you keep cancelling shows people will eventually become reluctant to invest their time (and money) in shows that do not come to a natural conclusion.
I have to say i am reluctant to even start watching a show from FOX as all the ones I have liked get cancelled after 1 or 2nd series, and it is so frustrating.
Absolutely the best pirate series of all time!!
My only disappointment was killing off Charles Vane and (Blackbeard aka Teach) they made it even more interesting, they really portrayed ruthless swashbucklers pretty good! And of course Charles being hot had a lot to do with it on top of it! js.
I don’t think anyone could finally give us such a series on pirate’s. An adult version of Treasure Island. So much more history to touch base to. We the viewing public want more. Thank you.
Keep it, this show is one of the best on TV. There is much more to see and talk about with Pirate history during that period.
Renew.. this show is the best
I love this show! Please continue, there is so much more to the pirate story!
Please keep it going. Great show
Awesome show,
I love black sails please keep it on
Great series, I hope they continue it.
I really like Black Sail and have been patiently waiting for it to return to the Direct TV schedule. The acting and effects are top notch.Please bring the exciting series back. I have a real “jones” for it.
PS: Poor Zack. He tried to do the right thing but loved one to many beautiful sea chicks!
This is story telling at it’s best! I heard it was just cancelled. Starz puts out quality shows. Now what can you do to top this. I love the actors and the action. Seriously I am so sad this is coming to an end.
I love black salts at least I did before they hung ZACK MCGOWAN. He was the reason I watched the show. What a sexy guy. Please do not cancel BLACK SAILS and bring ZACK back.
Uhhhhh can you say, “SPOILER ALERT”?????
Black Sails is a classic in its on right nothing better on TV at the moment.
Keep the seasons comming.
really great show completely different concept
Boring
This is definitely worth the watch!
