I think they went way over budget getting Derek Jacobi to do the voiceover and had no cash to get anyone else decent to act in it. I can forgive the dodgy CGI as that costs a fortune but the “dramatic recreations” and script are poor. I’ll watch it all though as I love pirate history stuff.

Pirates were flamboyant and OTT, it was always going to be overly dramatic and fanciful. Also the head pirate geezer Hornblower or whatever he was called reminded me of Rik Mayell for some reason.

After that though I liked it less and less to the point I hated it. I mean really ****ing hated it. There's no character development, no dialogue of note it is just plot twist after contrived plot twist after random new character throwing a spanner in the works, followed by someone showing miraculous insight, followed by a ridiculous coincidence followed by more bullshit plot twist. Thought Bryan Cranston was more Hal from Malcolm in the Middle than Walter White from Breaking Bad in it. 0/10 .... up to you though 😉 I would agree with this. Had high expectations and first couple of episodes were good but then the rest could have been covered in a couple of episodes rather than stretching it out over 8, this combined with the increasingly unlikely plot line was frustrating because it could have been so much better. Law and Order would have done it in an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that in itself was a crime but they were shit scared of him. Spoiler below on the outcome if anyone is wanting to watch.
