Bristol, England, 1717. Lieutenant Robert Maynard of the Royal Navy scouts the seas in order to restore safe passage to the sea lanes. He meets his match when he's taken by a fearsome hulk of a menace in the West Indies—a pirate sailing off the Island of St. Vincent. Edward Teach has no plans for retirement. In fact, his goal-to find and lay claim to the fabled treasures of Captain Kidd.

I'm watching this mainly because it is one of Jessica Chastain's earliest screen appearances. This TV mini-series pre-dates her film debut at age 31 in the movie Jolene (2008). It's a decent TV mini-series, based on the exploits of the pirate Black Beard. There are a few TV greats such as Angus Macfadyen and Richard Chamberlain in this show. The former playing the title character. Jessica Chastain plays a character that would eventually become her signature character archetype, The Strong-willed Woman who doesn't fit the traditional Mold in the time and place a story unfolds.
