Black Sails
(2014–2017)
Interpretation of pirate's golden age
2 December 2021
The series begins and ends in the Bahamas with a war against the British empire, it's premise is about heisting a Spanish merchant fleet. The filming took place in south Africa but also features some episodes away from what is meant to be the Caribbean.
What is described as the golden age follows the most famous pirates of the era working together to make a better place for themselves. The insight and knowledge is huge to better understand the trade, and also the costumes and the settings are to a fantastically high standard.

A timeless classic movie which has proved doubters for decades has been digitally remastered.
The movie show the real life story of a British military officer who rose the ranks due specially to his ambition in fighting for the cause of the Bedouin tribes against the Ottoman Empire.

The film is long at nearing 4 hours, with an intermission halfway in the style of the era the film is based on. Unfortunately the voices are a bit quiet at time during the film, but it doesn't back off the surreal story of the formation of the countries in the region specifically Jordan and Syria.
