Black Sails gets Anne Bonny right.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A battle sequence from Black Sails gets put under the microscope by a pirate expert, and she finds that it's fairly accurate. First airing in 2014, Black Sails was a Starz series that serves as a prequel to Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. The show, which concluded in 2017 after four seasons, followed Toby Stephens' Captain Flint as he and his crew clash against the British Navy and other notorious pirates.
According to Simon, the show actually gets a lot right, including in its depiction of real-world pirate figures who were active during the Golden Age of Piracy. Check out select portions of Simon's analysis and her grade for the show out of 10 below: “We see Anne Bonny and several other pirates go with her into one of these navy ships to kind of start their attack. You kind of did divvy up pirate crews, so those who would stay on their own ship and fight, and then those who would go onto the ship that they were trying to capture in order to fight.
