Since "Game of Thrones" ended, fans have found themselves in search of another massive fantasy drama capable of filling the void it left. But as it turns out, the best substitute for the show was airing at the same time. Balancing the same character-driven plotting with all of the political maneuvering of the early seasons of “Thrones,” “Black Sails” is a gritty, blood-soaked prequel to “Treasure Island” that almost nobody watched while it was airing. And that’s a shame, because it’s an intelligent, exciting highlight of fantasy Peak TV. If you’re looking for a high-seas adventure story that doesn’t overstay its welcome, this is the right choice. All four seasons are currently available for streaming.

The 10 Greatest Pirates In Movie/Television History

There have been dozens of pirate movies and TV shows over the years, but some pirate characters are more memorable than others.

Captain Flint (Black Sails)

Black Sails is one of the greatest pirate based television shows of all time. It is very much a Game of Thrones on the water with heavy violence, sex, and colorful language, and that's what made it so compelling. It provided a more honest and less glorified version of piracy.

This harrowing play portrays the world of pain experienced by Nichols himself who raised a brain-damaged child. Stephens handles Bri’s varied registers with perfect fluency. He can be funny, moving, tender, and impishly amorous as well. Some of the script’s attitudes and language have dated badly. The couple’s best friends, Freddie and Pam, have never met the disabled girl whom they refer to as ‘a vegetable’. The clinicians use that term for her as well. When Stephens impersonates a German doctor he struts up and down like a neo-Nazi shouting ‘Gott im Himmel!’ and clicking his heels. That looks rather problematic nowadays.

the spectator: THEATRE

Circus routine rather than theatre: Noises Off reviewed Plus: a harrowing play by Peter Nichols at Trafalgar Studios that's aged badly
