Missed last Friday night’s check in - was watching Black Sails. Kid was out Friday and Saturday nights, so we got a bunch of eps in. Snuck in another couple when she was safely out of the way the last few days (showering etc), then pushed our luck too far last night. Her boyfriend was over (V Day) and they were hanging out in the next room with the

I watched 2-3 eps of season 1 of BS and really didn't like it. But I know so many people who think it's great. I just don't watch enough tv to make it worthwhile sitting through crap. Can I just skip to season 2 and read the wiki for season 1 do you think?!

I guess you could. I would have been tempted if I didn't have my bff reassuring me that the characters get character growth.

I've thought about this a bit since you asked though, and my advice would be, if you can, to watch first season (it's only 8 eps) but maybe with something else to do so you don't have to give it your full attention?

Like, the reason I didn't watch more than a couple of eps the first time I started watching is cos I didn't like the characters, now, having seen how much they've grown and the bonds and alliances they form I am really invested in some of them.

1st season I didn't like Anne Bonny at all, but watching her evolve has been an amazing journey, I'm half way through s3 now and she's my fave character. And I've been spoiled for some of the ending, and I like what I know - all my faves survive.
