The Good Stuff: Black Sails

I wanted to hate this. It's produced by Michael Bay! Then I ended up binge watching the entire first series in a day and half. This is bodice ripping entertainment at its best, and the high production values make the sea battles as epic as they deserve to be.  Nothing really deep here, just a fun adventure yarn like a thick summer paperback.

Blending reality (Charles Vane, Calico Jack and Anne Bonny among others) with fiction (John Silver, Billy Bones) the show is a fast moving epic about betrayal, unchecked ambition and of course, lots and lots of booty.
