6/10
Looks good but does not develop into much

First of all, for the good bits. It's a pirate themed TV show with the nicest production I've seen so far. It looks great, cast is decent, nothing to complain at in that regard.

Problem with the show is, after a season or two, you realize that the show has a way of chasing it's own tail, not moving a bit from the premise it has started at. Things do change, characters do evolve, but only on a superficial level, while most of them actually seek something just to have that something taken away at the last minute and being forced to seek it some more.

Probably the most disappointing part is the ending, which basically makes everything characters did for the last few seasons totally irrelevant.

Don't take me wrong, I've watched the show all the way through. It has moments when it really shines, but don't get your expectations very high.
