An interesting docu-drama that covers the rise and fall of the Pirate Republic in Nassau. This is pretty well done and the talking heads aren't too annoying. The acting in the drama sections is fair but not outstanding. To be honest though, the main interest is the actual historical story it tells.

If you have an interest in pirates then you probably already know a lot (if not all) of what is told here but it's put together well. Some of the musical cues seem to be inspired by _Black Sails_ (which isn't a bad thing). There's also a fair amount of nudity and swearing but, in the main, it is in context and only a few times is the nudity gratuitous.

Overall, a good series and worth a watch if you like pirates and the truth of their history as opposed to the romantic Hollywood version.
