I can honestly say every time I rewatch the show I have to listen to these again after each episode. Goes together like Walking Dead and Talking Dead. Once in a blue moon they accidentally throw a spoiler out by accident but they even say in the very first episode that this is more for rewatches....Read full review »

Love this podcast because I’m currently obsessed with black sails and everything related to it. It just drives me nuts that the 2 hosts pick and choose what they determine to be “spoiler-y” or not. I wish they’d just accept that they’re going to let spoilers slip and not try and pretend like...Read full review »

I really enjoy this podcast because it is so insightful, organized, and a great companion to watching the show. Every time I rewatched an episode, I would come back to listen to the correlating episode. I also am very pleased with the amount of actor and crew interviews they got (still sad they...Read full review »

Not only is this a great Black Sails podcast but one of the best and most in-depth pods I’ve ever listened to for any tv show. Daphne and Liz break down every moment of each ep and provide such deep character and thematic analysis, it’s breathtaking. Some incredible interviews with the cast and...Read full review »

I wish they’d come back and review every episode.

I LOVE this podcast!! It’s amazing enough to listen to as I’m rewatching the show, which is saying something since the show is so good it just makes you want to plow through without stopping, even when you’re rewatching. I love how much Daphne and Liz adore the show, and they pick up nuances I’ve...Read full review »

Wow! I can't believe I haven't left a review for this podcast yet. Fathoms Deep is the best podcast on the internet for the amazing Starz series "Black Sails". Daphne & Liz discuss the show with depth, intelligence, humor and love. Listening to this pod has made me notice...Read full review »

These women just make me happy (so smart and genuine). I’m bummed that I JUST found Black Sails now, long after the show has ended... but Daphne and Liz make it feel like I was there during the prime of it all! This is a show and a podcast for people who enjoy more than just the surface of...Read full review »

There are other Black Sails podcasts, but they can’t do what Fathoms Deep do. They aren’t built for it. Fathoms Deep is the ultimate Black Sails podcast, looking at this intelligent and beautifully crafted show with an equally brilliant thoughtfulness that always does the source material...Read full review »

LOVE Black Sails. LOVE Fathoms Deep. Black Sails deserves a huge audience and ongoing smart discussion; Fathoms Deep delivers and acts as the PERFECT companion. This podcast more than makes up for the lack of people in my real world to discuss pirate politics, symbolism, mythology. Listen to...Read full review »

First I listened to TSATs who talked about Fathoms Deep so I listened and discovered watch Black Sails is even better when you have Liz and Daphne to "talk with" about the show after. 😁 Very insightful. Fun. Smart and they talk to the cast and crew. Common Room Radio is a favorite.Read full review »

I love listing to these podcasts. Their intelligence and insights add so much more to the awesomeness that is Black Sails. Well done Daphne and Liz, you guys rock! My only regret is that I am too far behind to engege in discussions with you.
Shazelsa via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/06/17
Thank god I found Fathoms Deep! I had tried twice and failed to get interested in Black Sails; only watching 2 episodes before giving up. Two things made me persist: I'm a long time fan of Toby Stephens and felt if he was involved for 4 seasons it had to have some merit. Secondly and likely...Read full review »

Black Sails is an amazing show and Daphne and Liz do it justice. They delve deep into every episode, analyzing what happened, but also sharing what they loved. The analysis makes watching the show so much more satisfying. They catch the little moments that make the show so great. Their passion...Read full review »

Love the show and love the pod
bossofbam via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/17/17
This is THE Black Sails podcast. I found it the moment after finishing episode one and I dare say these ladies' conversation is practically as good as the show itself - that is to say, PHENOMENAL. If you're a Black Sails fan you owe it to yourself to be listening to Fathoms Deep. When...Read full review »

I am almost caught up to season 4 and this podcast is making the rewatching and catching up even more enjoyable. Daphne and Liz draw my attention to parts of the story that I would have missed on my own. Love their insights. Thank you both and keep up the good work! Please support this...Read full review »

The perfect Black Sails recap show. Daphne and Liz are great at taking the listener on a deep dive into this fantastic, underrated pirate show. I got into the show about this time last year and found this podcast not long afterwards as a way to tide me over until season 4. Definately worth a...Read full review »

When I decided to rewatch Black Sails ahead of season 4 (to forestall the inevitable moment of "What? Who are these people? Do I even watch this show?" that these serialized cable dramas lead to), I went looking for a podcast to listen to with it. I had a few I'd followed in the past,...Read full review »

What a delightful podcast. Very thoughtful analysis of the episodes. Keep up the good work!
Kellykation via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/15/16
Liz and Daphne walk you through this amazing show, episode by episode. Watch first, then listen for in depth analysis of character, story, themes, historic, artistic & literary references. This is a deep dive into a show that is so much more than you first expect. That said, it's also a...Read full review »
Sooroux via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/02/16
I'm only watching Black Sails because of this podcast. I saw Michael Bay's name on the show when it was still being promoted and gave up before I even started. But Daphne's passion swept me up and as soon as I started the show, I could not stop. The show I thought would be pirate...Read full review »

Black Sails is storytelling at its finest, and the analysis by Liz and Daphne is superb. They have given me a much deeper understanding and affection for a show I already loved. Can't wait to join them on our journey to the finale!Read full review »

This show was begging for a good analytical podcast and I revel in all that Fathoms Deep uncovers. I love all the connections between characters and themes, and the hosts are great about facilitating discussions. Great job, ladies!!!
GreatChemistry via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/29/16
I don't even watch Black Sails but decided to listen because I'm a fan of Liz at Odd Man Out, and the in-depth analysis of both hosts is intelligent, compassionate and fascinating. I don't like TV shows that are too dark overall and too violent, but after listening to a few episodes...Read full review »
LVprosewriter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/18/16
You might be forgiven for thinking that Black Sails on Starz was just another swashbuckling and unbuckling pirate tale with not much more to offer beyond the spectacle. Lizz and Daphne take it to another level and revel in the storytelling and character development that the show is truly built...Read full review »

Liz and Daphne take Nassau by storm! Fantastic critical analysis (and a whole lot of fun)! I can't wait to hear more from the insightful ladies of Fathoms Deep as they dive into each episode of Black Sails!Read full review »
Amanda313 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/05/16
Take a TV show with a rich, compelling, complex structure and two intelligent and passionate women who love it and love to discuss it. The result is a thought-provoking podcast where Liz and Daphne analyse the show and unveil the storytelling and the mix of history and fiction behind Black Sails.

Well, it's about time. Black Sails is a show full of meaning and depth and character, and we finally have the lovely Daphne and Liz to help navigate these rich and complex waters.

This is exactly what I needed to get inspired to catch up on Black Sails and really dig deep into the story. Like many, I missed the boat when this series first started because I heard Michael Bay's name attached to it. Then I started hearing chatter that it was actually good. Season 1...Read full review »
