On Starz. Anybody else watch this show? It just wrapped its 3rd season last night.

For those unfamiliar, it starts off in 1715 in Nassau, Bahamas and combines some characters from real life (pirate Captains Charles Vane, Jack Rackham w/ his partner Anne Bonny and Blackbeard), a couple of characters from Treasure Island (John Silver before he was "Long" and Billy Bones) and other people just made up. The British are trying to re-take the port so lots of ship battles. Good show!

I just started watching this season and have really been enjoying it.  When I have some spare time, I plan to watch the earlier seasons so that I can better understand some of the characters motivations.
