I'm not one of those not-yet-published writers looking for an excuse to slam someone successful like Michael Bay or anything. I'm sincerely asking this:
Can any of you get into Black Sails?
I wanted to. Last night, my wife and I watched the first episode. It started with an epic battle, then I found myself being jostled awake by my wife. She actually said, "Oh! Quick! Wake up! There's lots of naked women!" I thanked my wife, then stuff happened onscreen for the next twenty minutes. I remained conscious, but the next thing I remember is my wife asking why two women are kissing and one is removing her shirt. Twenty more minutes passed and there was a sword fight that was bloody and brutal. The guy I was supposed to root for won.
So, was I just tired and unable to get into something that's almost on par with Game of Thrones? Or was it all action and naked ladies and not so much emphasis on characterization and plot?
