Anyone of you guys watching the new Starz TV series 'Black Sails'?
If you're not, here's a brief synopsis:
"Black Sails, centers on the tales of Captain Flint during the Golden Age of Piracy. It takes place twenty years prior to Robert Louis Stevenson's classic "Treasure Island." Flint, the most brilliant and most feared pirate captain of his day, takes on a fast-talking young addition to his crew who goes by the name John Silver. Threatened with extinction on all sides, they fight for the survival of New Providence Island, the most notorious criminal haven of its day - a debauched paradise teeming with pirates, prostitutes, thieves and fortune seekers, a place defined by both its enlightened ideals and its stunning brutality."
While It does seem to act as prequel to Treasure Island, It's made even more entertaining when they throw real life pirates into mix, such as Ben Hornigold, 'Calico' Jack Rackham and my personal favorite, Charles Vane. And It's definitely growing to be one of my favorite TV shows.

It's on HBO I think. If not It's definitely on "the internet".

Sounds interesting. Definitely going to check it out since pretty much all the other series I'm currently following (and there aren't many of those...) are on a break.
