Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaChris Larkin (Berringer) and Toby Stephens (Flint) are brothers. Their parents are Dame Maggie Smith and Sir Robert Stephens. Anna-Louise Plowman (Mrs Hudson) is Toby Stephens's wife.
- GoofsThe language spoken is questionable throughout the series. There is no agreement on when the F word came into being as a swear word; the educated classes are constantly saying "you and I" when it should be "you and me"; and there is regular use of "excuse me", which is a more modern Americanism, instead of "I beg your pardon".
- Crazy creditsThe opening titles are a montage of white statues depicting the lives of pirates, incorporating black skeletons and dark oceans.

Featured review
Fantastic series....if you can't watch for free its worth buying and I normally would never say that but I loved this form start to finish and every minute in between. It is pleasing on the eye regarding location as well as some of the cast but before forming an image in your mind of beautiful well over groomed characters that just don't look right then I am pleased to say that for once this is not the case....(OK slightly groomed here and there is more accurate) Acting is spot on,characters are mostly very likable, the action scenes are great, the story is for the most part simple with a main objective and doesn't have 50 twists along the way to try and out twist every thing else that gets made these days. I must point out that there are quite a lot of adult scenes and foul language which although I have no problem with it ,I definitely would not want any of my kids to be sat in the same room regardless of age, so don't let your kids watch it, no matter how much they love pirates. So if you fancy something a bit different with great actors and some proper filth, you must watch Black Sails.
