May 31, 2014A little hard to follow, but otherwise an okay show. It had a nice plot, and some good pirate action scenes. I would recommend watching it, at least the pilot is worth watching.

Jul 20, 2014So-So show with John Malkovich as Blackbeard. It is funny how two shows, with essentially the same premise, show up on two networks. Think about how many Pirate television shows have you seen in the last 10 years? Anyway, this show is a little better than Black Sails, and Black Sails is pretty darn BAD! This show can at least hold your attention for more than 5 minutes.
Awards & Rankings
-
Crossbones rises and falls on Malkovich’s inspired delivery and is undercut by the show’s joyless, convoluted plotting, especially in next week’s episode.
-
Everything around Malkovich is workmanlike and rather predictable, if competent.

You might not want to sign on for a summerlong journey right away, but Malkovich's theatrical pirate probably deserves an hour or two hosting this after-dinner cruise before you decide if NBC's gone completely overboard.
