How about earning your sea legs? As a prequel to Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, Black Sails is the definition of a swashbuckling adventure. The plot follows an unlikely pair: the formidable pirate Captain Flint (Toby Stephens) and Eleanor Guthrie (Hannah New), heiress to the Bahamas black market. Together, Flint and Guthrie claim their authority in the Golden Age of Piracy and fight the British Empire for ownership over New Providence Island–the main trading center in the West Indies. With 38 episodes of plunder and intrigue, Black Sails will have you sitting at the edge of your plank!
