I feel like this show had the misfortune of being on Starz and coming out like 5 years too early. It's really good. A lot of the politics would probably be more popular now post-Bernie. I just want to be a pirate and wage war against the colonial powers and get drunk and sing song with the fellas now.

    I spent the first season trying to figure out what the writers were going for, and then realized, especially once I'd finished the series, that the writers were too.

      I didn't even realize it was a Treasure Island prequel until like Season 4.

        That probably explains our differing perceptions. The show was heavily promoted as a Treasure Island prequel, so I came in expecting that, and it didn't deliver.

              I recognized all of the historical pirates and thought that was cool and that they were just doing fictionalized history, and when they gave him the name Long John Silver I slapped my forehead.
