‘Black Sails’ Season 1, Episode 6: ‘VI’

Black Sails Season 1, Episode 6 VI

“Black Sails” season 1, episode 6: “VI” airs Saturday on Starz.

Coming up on the next episode, chasing the Andromache is a pricey endeavor; Eleanor needs help from Silver; Billy believes Gates should confront Flint; Bonny takes a stand.

Starz describes the show as follows:

“Set up as a 20-year prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic book Treasure Island, “Black Sails” will follow the adventures of cutthroat corsair Captain Flint and his crew of brutal buccaneers, whose plundering ways have led them to the brink of extinction. Flint’s fight for survival forces him to seek sanctuary on the debauched pirate paradise New Providence Island, a place defined by both its enlightened ideals and stunning brutality. On the journey, Flint will take on a young, fast-talking addition to his crew — one, John Silver.”

“Black Sails” season 1, episode 6 airs Mar. 1 at 9 p.m. EST on Starz.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
