30 Shows Like Game of Thrones That Will Make You Want to Bend the Knee

If Pirates of the Caribbean and Game of Thrones had a baby, that baby would be Black Sails, the high-seas adventure series that promises to tell the backstory of legendary characters from Treasure Island (plus some real-life pirates with larger-than-life histories). Pirate captain Flint brings on a new crew member with a destiny of his own as various groups of pirates battle each other and imperial forces in search of treasure, power, and freedom. Like the world of GOT, it's a tough, often deadly world where only the strong survive, but there's definitely a hint more optimism to this particular tale.
