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 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.
