This is a pretty great attempt at making a documentary in a grittier, fun way while still remaining true (ish) to the history. I love pirates, this folklore is awesome, and it was really brutal BUT.........I never thought the first time I'd see a syringe stuck in a penis would be in a documentary about pirates. That isn't a joke, that's actually something you see in episode 5. I couldn't believe it. There's only like a little nudity before then, it isn't like that show Spartacus and it's a fake penis but, still. And in hindsight, of course an authentic, gritty pirate documentary is where i'd see that for the first time.
