Product ReviewsBlack Sails: the Complete Second Season (DVD, 2015)

Pirates Pirates and the even more evil government officials.

In this series you get to examine brutality, murder, theft, torture, and then you also get to meet the pirates. Who also steal and kill, but who are not nearly as brutal and ruthless and amoral as the government officials who seek to prevent the pirates from stealing the goods the crown has stolen.

The show is entertaining, with well written and developed characters, and an engaging story arc. I would recommend it for anyone with an interest in history who also does not mind a little violence in the mix. Read full review...

A bit short on elegance and period feel

Didn't like it. There is something about the modern hand-held drifty-camera and "on the nose" sort of formula British (well Australian) sort of acting/shooting that lacks the right atmosphere and "class" that I need to be convinced by something like this. The "F" word all over the place doesn't fit for me either, it plasters "modern" all over what is supposed to pass for a period piece. The costumes (of course) and settings are right, and the pirates are duly evil and filthy looking, but it doesn't fly for me. They should keep the cameras on the tripods, watch "Mutiny on the Bounty" with Hopkins/Gibson as a model, and do it again. But then I'm a picky highbrow-watching sucker so never mind.Read full review...

Black sails is the best period series based off pirates ever made.

This series is for real and shows how it really was back then in the day. I have read many books written by historians of that period. The people behind the camera have done there home work on this one. You won't be disappointed by Black Sails unless your a girly man. Read full review...

Well worth watching

I bought this for my sister for Christmas and she kindly let me watch it as well. It's a lot of fun even if it does use a lot of pirate clichés as one would expect. Still, if you enjoy action and historical drama, I'd definitely recommend it to you.Read full review...

Zach McGowan is BEAST!!!

Zach McGowan is one of my all-time favorite actors right up there with Dominic Monaghan and Jason Momoa, his portrayal of Charles Vane in this show is amazing and I was defiantly not happy with the death of his character on this season of the show. But overall black sails is an amazing show thus far.

P.S. I am extremely excited that Zach McGowan has been casted for season 9 of The Walking Dead to play a new character named Justin.Read full review...

Excellent 3rd Season

This is an excellent follow-on to seasons 1 & 2. Let's hope season 4 comes out soon. There's a lot more to tell in this saga.

Good sequel to Season 1

A lot of fun. A good idea to begin with Season 1, but in my opinion Season 2 is even better.
