Did you know
- TriviaChris Larkin (Berringer) and Toby Stephens (Flint) are brothers. Their parents are Dame Maggie Smith and Sir Robert Stephens. Anna-Louise Plowman (Mrs Hudson) is Toby Stephens's wife.
- GoofsThe language spoken is questionable throughout the series. There is no agreement on when the F word came into being as a swear word; the educated classes are constantly saying "you and I" when it should be "you and me"; and there is regular use of "excuse me", which is a more modern Americanism, instead of "I beg your pardon".
- Crazy creditsThe opening titles are a montage of white statues depicting the lives of pirates, incorporating black skeletons and dark oceans.

Featured review
Pleasant Surprise After Slow Start!
I started this series a few years ago but lost interest in Season 1. However, I decided to give it another go due to the positive reviews... man I am glad I did!
I really enjoyed the building of characters and how surprisingly clever they could be. There was a sense of maturity to it in terms of it being based on pirates which I really liked.
This is a real hidden gem and all I can say is if you start watching this, stick with it!
I thought they ended it well in Season 4 as you can get quite poor endings in other series.
