"A Lot Of Historical Accuracy": Acclaimed Fantasy Show’s Battle Scene Gets Praise From Pirate Expert

A battle sequence from Black Sails gets put under the microscope by a pirate expert, and she finds that it’s fairly accurate. First airing in 2014, Black Sails was a Starz series that serves as a prequel to Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island

. The show, which concluded in 2017 after four seasons, followed Toby Stephens’ Captain Flint as he and his crew clash against the British Navy and other notorious pirates.
