Really Surprised!

Am I Missing Something?

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

I used to love it. Stopped watching in mid season 3. The character Max ruined the show for me. Im not racist or anything, but that character is annoying, frustrating, and doesn't make sense whatsoever. How can a prostitute suddenly become a wise fancy lady?? Plus her acting is horrible.

This is a binge-righteous series. I for one appreciate intrigue, violence, swearing, and nudity in a series to make it somewhat believable for me to watch. This review is for the entire four seasons. After a couple episodes, the players fall into place. I feel good acting good scenery, good sound and now comes the PLOT. It takes a few episodes to get into it. Once you are hooked, there is no turning back. FABULOUS STUFF. But then later in the series you wonder how this guy can turn from a wimp to a hard-guy after a season. Or this joker turned into a legend after an episode. Or this nice guy turns into an acehole after an episode. It's too fast like that. But, it's great and I loved every minute of it up until the last episode where what you might imagine, happens. It's like: OK We Gotta Wrap This Up. TOTALLY BINGE-WORTHY. 8 POINTS

Rather over American- ridiculous white teeth, constant "sked-ules" instead of the English "Shed-lies" but it seems from the first ep like good fun, if rather brain dead good fun. Perhaps I'll get into it more as it goes on but it's rather empty for me at present

I will start with what's most important to me: the show isn't cancelled or one of those "It was good when it started...but..." creations we often see. Not only it has an ending, it has, in my opinion a pretty good one, trying up all lose ends. Nothing seems rushed, forced or out of nowhere. Every death in the series (As far as I remember) seems planned out and is treated with respect, so much so, it's hard to e mad someone is dying. The characters, being quite a lot of them, are well developed and their actions are explained and understandable - there are no villains, just people who want different things and change sides constantly to get them. It's pretty much everything one would want from a pirate story. Needless to say the show looks beautiful - one look at the trailer can tell you this much. The actors are great, it has a surprisingly realistic tone and a very interesting story, although it takes about half a season for the plot to kick in, as the beginning of the series is more about who is who, who they hate and what they want. It's rare to see a series so well executed from start to finish, without any behind the scenes problems becoming apparent in it's quality. It's definitely worth a watch even if you are not into pirate stories in particular.
