Episode 10 of Series 4 came to conclusion on Sunday April 2nd 2017, the last ever Black Sails episode of the last ever series and I for one am absolutely gutted.

One of the absolute greats, up there with The Spranos, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Lost, 24.

The best tv series to not be shown on major channels here in the UK only available on Amazon Prime (unless you count the History channel which is a whole series behind) has finished and the millions of people who have missed out need to wake up and go watch.

I am no literary hero, as you can tell you bastards, but the writing, acting, sets are incredible, the locations perfect.

Having invested over four years into this series, witnessing the character development, wanting villains to die and heroes to win, then the very same villains win and the heroes bleed to death, it is truly remarkable that for once a series is actually ending.

No mid series fluff as the pay masters try to drag it out for more money, no taking the story into directions just so unbelievable or indeed unremarkable. Just good old fashioned swash bucking, whore shagging, rum drinking pirate-a-thon with a cracking story told so well.

I implore you to watch this and I dare you not to fucking love it.

I for one shall miss Captain Flint going batshit, Long John Silver waxing lyrical, Captain Vane being psyco, Eleanor being devious, Rackham being wise (!?!) Anne being just so beautifully violent. The list goes on and on, the characters and stella performances surely must put the show on the awards map.

I hope there is a follow on series about Long John Silver, as this is the prelude to the Treasure Island legend but it seems this may not be the case.

So, stop fucking about, get your cutlass ready, go get Amazon Prime or nick someones log in and watch this incredible series.

I congratulate Toby Stephens Tom Hopper Luke Arnold Toby Schmitz Hannah Law, the creators John Steinberg, Dan Shotz and Robert Levine. Fantastic series and high level acting/writing/production. Best thing since the first series of Lost for me.

Goodbye for now me hearties its been a fucking fantastic ride don’t be strangers and beware the black spot…………
