I like Black Sails.

Good characters good production. Realistic historical set up. Some of the characters were real people. Charles Vane, Calico Jack Rackhem, Anne Bonny, Blackbeard. And Long John Silver, Billy Bones, Captain Flint - fictional characters.

Very clever. Kind of a minor Game of Thrones.

And as noted some good t&a. That Jessica Parker Kennedy oh geez she is gorgeous.

Following the real arc of history, the Golden Age of the pirates ended as soon as the Royal Navy appeared even in small force. Once the Brits settled their internal issues with the Civil War, the interegnum and all that, the pirates went away pretty quick.

The pirates favored sloops with maybe 50 guys and a few small guns. The Royal Navy had frigates with 300 guys and 40 guns. So there was no fighting the Royal Navy.
