Could use more swashbuckling and sea battles, but otherwise adequate entertainment...

Cool Show

I like John Malkovich and he doesn&apos;t disappoint in this series...his first time doing television. The production quality is excellent and it is filmed on location. The storyline is interesting and intriguing. I will continue watching this series. It is on Hulu+ . I&apos;ve read some negative reviews here and they mostly centered on the issue of historical accuracy and authenticity. This show is based on a historical figure but the storyline is fictional. As for authenticity, I am not an expert on pirates, nor do I watch or have I watched much in the pirate genre. Perhaps for me ignorance is bliss because this is not an issue for me. Or perhaps the other reviewers were nitpicking. This does not seem to be a huge issue to me at least. It seemed authentic enough for me. The production is high quality. If the story is unbelievable to some it is not to me. This show is highly entertaining and there are any twists and turns in the plot. John Malkovich&apos;s portrayal of Blackbeard leaves me hanging on his every word and action. Good show.

John Malkovich stars in &quot;Crossbones&quot; as Edward Teach, a man better known to the world as the legendary pirate Blackbeard.  Hidden on their secret island of Santa Compana, Blackbeard and his band of pirates must outmaneuver undercover English spy Tom Lowe (Richard Coyle).
