I recently finished watching both of these shows and holy shit they are amazing. Epic, sweeping storylines, amazing characters and writing, and perfectly cast and acted. Both shows had 10/10 endings as well.
But the problem is...they're kinda shitty when they start out. It's crazy how both shows are kinda poor for the first 3-4 episodes, with wonky pacing, cheesy writing and sex and violence for no reason other than being gratuitous. But then they find their footing and it's just one high after another until the end. Some of SPartacus and Black Sails are legitimately some of the best TV I've ever seen. So many unforgettable characters - Batiatus, Gannicus, Flint, Charles Vane etc. and some truly fantastic writing and dialogue. That unique diction and way of speaking the characters have in Spartacus and the ornate, baroque speech in Black Sails - just wonderful.
I wish more people stuck it out a bit longer with these shows because they're top tier.
