Black Sails

Show was trashy low-quality entertainment with lots of action, sex and gore (the type you would expect from 'Starz') but with a decent enough budget to make it all seem much larger than it truly was. All the pirate characters talked like sophisticated gentry, even the uneducated and barely literate whores. It already suffered from feminist overreach in its portrayal, but in season 2 they turned one of the main character into a gay guy.

This happens a lot on Starz shows, apparently. Come to think of it, all these 'male demographic' shows on Starz (and Cinemax) had a conspicuous amount of homosexuality and feminism. It's almost like they were trying to push an agenda of some sort. But they would never!
