Just started the first episode last night and to be honest, I didn't like it very much at all. It felt like a light story with forced sex/violence for no real reason other than to try to be edgy. In other words, my first impression of the show is not good. Does it get better?

It gets A LOT better! Stick with it, things really start to pick up by the end of season 1. And season 2 is one of my favourite seasons of TV ever.
The pace quickens and becomes a lot less talky and more action. I prefer it to Game of Thrones but obviously in the minority on that opinion.

No it doesn't. You pretty much summed up the series.

The 8.2 imdb rating is pretty accurate.

I liked the first episode but yea it throws a lot at you with the plot, sex, and violence. It picks up though and gets more interesting once you hear everyone's backstory and watch the characters play off each other.

Thanks, I'll give it 3 episodes and see if I get into the story more.

The first season is actually the worst season. It gets very good.

That scene where Long John said to bring Billy to the Plantation,.....
Nothing could prepare, even knowing. That was such an emotional scene. I think I stopped breathing for a few seconds.
This is beautifully filmed, wonderfully acted. I've enjoyed it straight out of the gate.
But I'll never ever forget,....."Stop. Bring him to the Plantation!"

I posted some analysis of the latest episode (S04E05) on Hashed here: hashed.io/c324/black-sails/t80/s04e05-discussionSo far in the current season, I think Episode 3 was best. You should stick with it, it gets good! Probably the best historical show on tv right now.
