Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I don't rank it as one of the best of all time (I reserve that for shows with more artful writing which say deeper things about society or the human condition) but it is one of the most consistently 'very good' shows from start to finish.
  • I'm really enjoying Black Sails now. Fits into the adventure genre.
  • I was deeply sad when it was over as I had gotten incredibly attached to the characters. So yeah, Black Sails is amazing.
  • Its great and gets better along the way.
  • Black Sails when it isn't trying to be edgy and game of thrones-esque has brilliant character development.

Cons

  • Btw someone recommended to me Black Sails and I couldn’t make it through the first episode.
  • Black Sails, although that is also a bit of a spoiler for the show.
  • I don't know any pirate books but watch this
  • It started off good to me, then quickly went downhill.

Both Black Sails and Vikings had slow starts but got extremely good later on.
