    All they do is talk, and talk, and talk. Lot's of plotting, or scheming, or maneuvering and very little action. What kind of a pirate show isAll they do is talk, and talk, and talk. Lot's of plotting, or scheming, or maneuvering and very little action. What kind of a pirate show is this? Where's the plundering and attacking and stealing? Where are the cannons and the sea battles? Where are the fights and the gratuitous, merkined sex scenes?

    This show has become incredibly watered down so far this season. All the male characters are tucking tail and running, or constantly second guessing themselves, leaving the females as the only ones with any balls, so to speak. Even previous bad asses like Vane have been neutered this season. And Blackbeard has been a total disappointment. If there's any pirate who you'd expect would be all about the brutal force and action, it's that guy. They did a fine job of introducing him, but then later he became just as pensive and chatty as the rest of them.

    I'm getting to the point where I'm not even watching it now until I hear a gun shot or something other than endless conversation threatening to put me to sleep.    … Full Review »

    I almost couldn't tolerate this show after its slow start. I understand you're only a low budget TV show but geez give me some energy. ItI almost couldn't tolerate this show after its slow start. I understand you're only a low budget TV show but geez give me some energy. It comes off as a soft-core porn period drama. I'm one season in and I just cannot see the purpose of this show. So far they have used sex to shock and that is pretty much it.

    There's too much realness to this show. It's exactly what I imagine living in that time would be like...boring. There's no real action or drama and it's lacking a smart interesting script. Their concept just doesn't seem to work for a television show and it takes itself too seriously. If it doesn't get interesting soon then I'm done.    … Full Review »

    1. Big buildup and ultimate letdown with Blackbeard

    2. Unfocused story arc for flint. (He's supposed to be like Odysseus on some kind of Odyssey or something, according to the producers)

    3. Uninteresting romance for Eleanor. An excuse to keep her, literally, in the background.

    4. Woodes Rogers being the nicest antagonist ever. (So far, at least).

    Things that make this season EXCITING:

    1. Any fight scene with Vane

    2. Silver's descent
