Synopsis
Black Sails (2014), Season 1 — Starz historical drama, eight episodes to watch online on iFILM. New Providence Island, 1715: no royal navy, no enforceable law, and Captain Flint is the main reason other captains give the port a wide berth.
John Silver boards Flint's ship with almost nothing in his favor — except a page from a Spanish shipping schedule that marks the course of the Urca de Lima, a galleon hauling enough gold to rewrite who controls the Caribbean. Silver wants to profit from the information; Flint wants the prize itself. Eleanor Guthrie, whose father converts the island's stolen goods into money, helps finance the operation. The crew of the Walrus starts showing cracks before they've even left port: factions forming, loyalties quietly shifting, a former ally drifting toward mutiny. Rival captain Vane runs his own calculations across the dock.
The show is a prequel to Treasure Island, and Season 1 earns that connection by making Flint frightening through intelligence rather than spectacle. Stream Black Sails Season 1 online on iFILM.
