Okay so, seeing as so many people were asking for it, here's my thoughts on 1x01. I would've left it earlier but I'm working mad hours with it being the run-up to Christmas. I thought our introductory episode was a good bit denser than I thought it was going to be, I'm glad I had the ability to re-watch with the girls. I'm not that thrown off by not knowing every single character yet, but I definitely did think that the second watch alongside the girls with the subtitles on helped me pick up on details I otherwise would've missed. There's one or two things I'm still a little bit unclear on, but I'm sure that by the second and third episode I'll have it figured out. Anyways, as to the episode itself: I think I'm going to enjoy this show, even though it's quite different from what I usually consume. It does remind me of Game Of Thrones for its fantasy premise, but it seems as though it will be less gritty overall, which honestly I think I'd appreciate. I know Game Of Thrones comparisons can often be a bit inappropriate but in this case I think it's justified given that it's an adventure-fantasy genre and that the show does tend to be a bit more explicit than other shows. On my first viewing of 1x01, I kind of rolled my eyes at Eleanor's character as it seemed to come across as the "female character who says fuck and emasculated the men" stereotype which is just so corny and lazy, but upon my second watch it came across as a lot more natural. From the beginning the show seems to indicate that it will have a balanced ratio of boys to girls, which is interesting to see. I'm not necessarily one of those people who demands representation of a show, nor would I seek out a show purely on the basis that it has female/LGBT/POC characters etc., I'm moreso concerned that when it *is* there that it's done respectfully and that it feels natural to the story. Hence my initial anxiety with a character like Eleanor, that she was going to be the lazy "not like the other girls, i used to wrestle my brothers" cliche, but the inclusion of the other female characters as well as further development of Eleanor by the episode's end put my mind at east. Similar to Mr. Robot, I think the gender ratio will be done in a way where it isn't shoe-horned in and will feel organic to the story, which is great! The strongest aspect of the show so far for me is that from the first episode we establish that the pirates aren't just cartooon knuckleheads, but they are realised people with their own rules and subsequent politics. I was very interested to hear the girls say that there are only 38 episodes, which means that if the show is establishing this level of tension from the beginning, then the overall story will have lot of twists and turns. Again, given the genre, it does remind me of what I did and didn't miss from Game Of Thrones, even though I absolutely loved those first four seasons when they came out. The world is just so compelling, it's pirates afterall. A show about pirates is akin to a time-travel movie, it's such a compelling premise that it hooks the audience in when it's well made. I just hope that they don't rely too much on the shock value that Game Of Thrones did even in the earlier seasons. Like, I'm an adult, I don't need constant swearing and sex scenes to mantain my attention, at a certain point it really takes me out of the show. That being said, the 'blackbeard' joke got a genuine chuckle out of me. I could write more but I might just leave it at that for now. I don't think I'm going to watch the show in advance this time around, I'll probably just stay one or two episodes ahead of the girls. I'll probably be a bit warier of the comments than I usually am because of that. But if I end up really getting into the show and feel like watching one episode a day or even binging it, then I'll do that. So yeah, that's it :)

I know that when someone hears about pirates, they usually associate them with fantasy works such as 'Pirates of the Caribbean' or 'One Piece'. However, the show 'Black Sails' does not fall into the fantasy genre. It is more historical than fantasy, providing a fairly accurate description of that historical period. It's an awesome way to learn about real history. Maybe shows like Vikings, The Tudors, The Last Kingdom or Rome are the most similar to this show.
