What’s the most underrated show you seen? This has been asked a couple times and time and time again Black Sails was among the top choices.

People told me the first season was tough; I felt myself quickly losing interest as the first few episodes went on. And then I made it to the last episode and thought why not finish the season?

It was like a lightbulb went on about 10minutes through. It got better. I feel like it took 7 episodes to find its footing and I’m at episode one of the second season on the edge of my seat.

The characters felt understood. The pacing sped up, thank goodness. Pirates were suddenly acting like pirates.

I can’t wait to see what happens next!
