Running from 2011 to 2019, GoT stands as Netflix's most-watched series, weaving a narrative of power struggles across the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.
In contrast, Black Sails, a prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, unfolds the tale of Captain Flint (Toby Stephens), celebrated as the most brilliant of all Golden Age pirates in the West Indies. Airing from 2013 to 2017, the series spans four seasons, half the length of Game of Thrones.
Fans, taking to X (formerly Twitter), shared their enthusiasm for the show in tweets compiled by LADbible. One user declared, "Black Sails is finally on Netflix, and if you haven't seen it, it's better than Game of Thrones, a proper 10/10 show." Another chimed in, "I'll never stop recommending Black Sails. It's basically Game of Thrones but with pirates."
Starting January 1, Black Sails will be available for streaming on Netflix UK, promising a thrilling alternative for fans seeking a captivating series.
