A bit of tv series watching..
As I've mentioned in my archives, television viewing is oftentimes a moment of disunity where no two parties can logically decide what to watch. The same problems also persist during selection of Tv series and ones that thus get picked are usually neutral themed to both parties. Often action and or mystery.
The newest television series that was unanimously decided was 'Black sails'. a sort of prequel to Treasure island if you will, with the same set of popular pirate names thrown into the mix.
What can I say about this series except that the main theme is absolutely wonderful. It was in fact what enticed me to watch it in the first place. It's so well composed with an array of bass tones and overlying music that you only feel short of a glass of rum and a talking parakeet.
This being said the series is pretty meh. It doesn't exude that piraty feel. The characters inspire no awe, the story line isn't as good and the plot is average at best.
There's a good amount of nudity even at times when you didn't think there was any need for it, but tits gets TRPs I guess, considering this is in its third season and I'm on its second season.
Each episode is 45 minutes long and can feel a lot when binge watched.. considering binge watching anything is the weekend mantra.
All I really wait for is the main theme during casting.
Also it's produced by Michael Bay and Black Sails is as masala as it gets and that too not in a very fun way.
two stars at most but five stars for main theme
