Crossbones S01E00 Sneak Peek WEB-DL x264-RED



Quote:
It’s 1715 on the Bahamian island of New Providence, the first functioning democracy in the Americas, where the diabolical pirate Edward Teach, a.k.a. Blackbeard, reigns over a rogue nation of thieves, outlaws and miscreant sailors. Part shantytown, part marauder’s paradise, this is a place like no other on earth – and a mounting threat to international commerce. To gain control of this fearsome society, Tom Lowe, a highly skilled undercover assassin, is sent to the buccaneers’ haven to take down the brilliant and charismatic Blackbeard.

But the closer Lowe gets, the more he finds that his quest is not so simple. Lowe can’t help but admire the political ideals of Blackbeard, whose thirst for knowledge knows no bounds – and no law. But Lowe is not the only danger to Blackbeard’s rule. He is a man with many villainous rivals and one great weakness – a passionately driven woman whom he cannot deny. From the award-winning creator of “Luther,” Neil Cross, and award-winning producers Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald, comes an extraordinary action adventure with an unexpected moral center where one can’t be sure whether the pirates or the British crown are the villains.


TL;DR John Malkovich as Blackbeard

Looks average judging by the trailer, but eh.

Watched this today. Kept thinking I was watching Black Sails lol. Its a much tamer version I guess with less violence and no sex!?. There is something I didnt like about it but Im not sure what. Having said that I found it pretty entertaining! Will keep watching!

Blackbeard's beard is also rather grey/white in the pilot lol



This promo shows a better look to him I think with a more black looking beard Smile

The plot is like the same as teh one from Black Sails, maybe because the setting is the same Laughing and the main actors look alike.

Yeah it wasnt too bad. Glad the show is over with now. It was just too tame. Its comparable to Black Sails without an MA rating.
