One of my favorite shows of the past few years has been Black Sails on Starz. It’s an amazing prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island and has been, in my view, one of the best shows on television. A rival, perhaps, to even Game of Thrones. The final season premiers on September 29, and one has to expect it will end right about where Treasure Island begins. Also, the trailer looks amazing!
I’ve written a lot about this show, but if you want to catch up before the final season begins, here are a few posts to start with: “On ‘Black Sails’ the Seeds of ‘Treasure Island’ are Beginning to Grow”; “Where Things Stand on Season 3 of ‘Black Sails'”; “Eleanor is Making Cersei-like Decisions on ‘Black Sails'”; and “It’s All About Silver in the ‘Black Sails’ Season Finale!” You can also read my review of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island here.
Until then, I’ll be counting the days until we can sail again on the high seas with Captain Flint, Long John Silver, Anne Bonny, and all the crew!
