Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While the Pirates of the Caribbean series has meandered through several unnecessary sequels, the pirate TV show Black Sails is better than Disney's franchise in many ways. Black Sails, a prequel series to Robert Louis Stevenson's classic adventure novel Treasure Island, offers a gritty depiction of the Golden Age of Piracy that is far more realistic than Disney's fantastical version.

Related 10 Reasons Why You Should Revisit Black Sails It's been a few years since Black Sails ended, but the pirate series is definitely worth re-watching. Here's why. 9 Black Sails Is More Consistent Than The Pirates Of The Caribbean Movies Pirates of the Caribbean's inconsistent quality pales in comparison to the four strong seasons of Black Sails. Close The Curse of the Black Pearl was undeniably a success and is generally regarded as a quality action-adventure movie.

On the other hand, Pirates of the Caribbean's cast comprises many admittedly popular characters whose strengths are more in flair than overly complicated psychology. Jack's number one goal is to survive at all costs, but is sometimes guilted into heroism. Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann's characters are primarily driven by their romance, and occasionally the desire to protect a family member or friend.

Some people might find Black Sails' strictly realistic plot lacking after Pirates of the Caribbean. The presence of curses and ghosts brings an element of mystery to the vast ocean setting that can be beneficial to the story. However, in the long run, Black Sails' lack of supernatural elements worked out better than Pirates of the Caribbean's magic-based storylines.

The most significant one is between Flint and Thomas Hamilton , who are reunited at the end of the series. Max is in a relationship with Eleanor Guthrie at the beginning of the series, which ends relatively quickly. Max later has a polyamorous relationship with Jack Rackham and Anne Bonny . The inclusion of queer characters is a given in any pirate story, making the lack of that a major flaw in Pirates of the Caribbean.

It is a popular conception of rebellion and rule-breaking being romantic. This is something Black Sails cast member Jessica Parker Kennedy commented upon :
