Just checked black sails ratings and they kinda dropped hard. Is it because of that Gay story yall talking about? I think it was there from the start and I don't think many cis males watched this show to start with. Either way, it was a good show from what I've seen.

It was there right from the start hiding in the plain sight
I.e. everybody was led to believe that the back story of the main character was about his affair with a wife of his best friend from the past. Cis males watched it and loved it, because pirates! Violence! A&Ts!
And then BOOM, The Big Reveal happened in 2x05 and everyone was losing their s**t, because how can you do that to their precious alpha male fantasy!
And even though Flint's lover was mentioned one way or another throughout the rest of the show, they still pretended they were shocked when his gayness was addressed again in the finale.
It's a great show and everybody should watch it.
