That's another thing: you can tell the quality of the TV show writers by the amount of sex in it (obviously other things too but its a good measure): Writer has good ideas, solid characters and is a capable writer: he advances the story and puts character filler and exposition neatly slotted into the ongoing events; Writer has too few ideas or lacks the creative ability to create strong leads and a gripping story... oh well we put tits and ass in, or does crappy "3 years earlier" episodes to try to close the holes he has written himself into. BTW, him or herself, bad writing is universal, I just write He by default because I have a penis and that has shaped my use of language over the decades, especially since I grew up speaking a latin language where everything from car to pencil is gendered.
Also stop being so racist you guys, Brazilian dramas are quite staid and down-to-earth for the most part when compared with their surrounding neighbors' dramas. Telenovelas are so fucking retarded I cannot even think when they are on, and TBH if someone I cared about at all watched them I would mount an intervention to try to save whatever grey matter they still have functioning, the poor misguided fuck.
But I watched episode 1 of Black sails and didnt watch any more for a LONG time, it was so obviously going to become one more telenovela, with every bit of action interspersed with jarring angled shots, unclear shots of the dark, bad puns, characters who seem to fluctuate nonstop in their outlook, morality and actions, poor writing, poor acting, and just another STARZ exclusive softporn romcom with the occasional shot of a boat. Watched all of season 1, was proved right, stop following that trash.
But then maybe I'm preaching to the 7th circle of hell here cause I know a lot of you guys enjoyed GoT, and I personally found the books to be such absolute drivel I gave up after number 2.
