Warning: Full spoilers for Black Sails: Season 2 follow...
Black Sails' first season may have kept viewers at arm's length emotionally, but there was also indication that the series held promise. Season 2, in fact, is when the show's characters more vividly came to life and an entire backstory was revealed that helped shed light on the first eight episodes' opaqueness.
In fact, looking back, the cloud of mystery that shrouded both Flint and Miranda in Season 1 was a big gamble. It's not often that show plays things so coy now that hooking people instantly has become the name of the game in TV. But given all that we learned in Season 2, we can now look back and know that the frustration we felt over the lack of clear answers was intentional. And necessary in order for the payoff to work as well as it did here, later on down the line.
