Many have said that we're living in the Golden Age of television, thanks to the influx of so many quality series over so many different platforms (network, cable, premium, and now – increasingly – via streaming). That's great if you're a lover of quality material, but also presents a problem of really good work being ignored. 'Black Sails' is one of those ignored series. It's every bit as good (and in many areas even better) than shows like Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead, but perhaps because its TV home is on Starz (where it's actually less popular with viewers than the inferior Outlander series), it's never gotten either the acclaim or attention it deserves. That's a shame, because 'Black Sails' is easily the best show on TV that virtually no one is watching or talking about.
...If there's a series that deserves more kudos from both fans and critics alike, it's 'Black Sails', which continues its impressive journey during this third season. With top-notch video and reference-quality audio for each episode, as well as the entertaining drama of the shows themselves, this release is highly recommended.
