with the odyssey by nolan releasing I've been thinking a lot about black sails, and one of the main thoughts is... it's a miracle it got made at all

I mean obviously it would have never even got greenlit post pandemic, what, a show that lasts 4 seasons with a complete story, so full of symbolism and long speeches it requires you to actually pay attention to what's going on? A show with no set morality with all its characters being some kind of Grey? In the age that all shows are made to be watchable while you are on your phone and that has the moral depth suitable for a toddler? Yeah it wouldn't have prospered at all.

But the thing is, it shouldnt have been greenlit back in 2014 either. That is something I've wondered a lot about and still wonder about today. Yeah ok the first season they could get away with, funky dark pirate show here to rival game of thrones yay! But then the second season rolled up with all its gayness and anti imperialism and long ass monologues. And as far as I know, no one was watching it. How did season 3 and 4 got greenlit? Especially with so many viewers dropping it after the flinthamilton reveal. I'm guessing it gave the network SOME money, money that probably wouldn't have happened if Starz was a streaming service. It flew so under the radar there is barely any official criticism of it, the rating in rating sites like rotten tomatoes is done by appraisal of like two people, the actors did the best performances of their lives and never got noticed.

I don't really have a point to make here. I mean yeah streaming is killing art but I don't think black sails is an example of that. It having been made at all is a miracle

#no fr as someone who discovered it in 2015 #the renewal announcements for s3 and s4 felt miraculous at the time #black sails
