Not sure if Black Sails is not well known. The fact that Patriot ended after 2 seasons makes me think it's not well known since it was a truly great show.

EDIT: Patriot ends fine. You can see where it could have continued but where it stops isn't an issue

The two exact shows I was going to mention.

Patriot's depressing humour and quirkiness seems to turn a lot of people off, unfortunately.

For Black Sails, I don't get it. Comparable to HBO quality yet overlooked.

I don't get Black Sails either. Maybe people didn't actually want a realistic depiction of pirates for some reason? What you say makes sense about Patriot. I sometimes forget my type of sense of humor is a niche thing.

Is that the folk singer one? That was fun.

Yeah, that's the one. Might be time for my 5th rewatch now that I think about it
