Anyone who has been following the ratings lately likely saw this one coming: “Crossbones” will be walking its own plank soon enough. NBC announced this week in the midst of Comic-Con that their pirate drama starring John Malkovich will air its final two episodes, following the new installment Friday night, on Saturday, August 2. This […]
“Crossbones” has become one of the sole entries in our Friday TV catalog this summer, with one of the only reasons for that being that it is literally one of the only things on. This is not a night that is known for having a huge percentage of viewers home, ready to watch something big. […]
“Crossbones” is a show that likes to play around with mystery, and it is also one apparently that likes to play around with costumes. Who else cringed at the sight of Blackbeard in a powder wig? It was definitely something that threw us for a minute or two, but that was not even the biggest […]
Friday night’s “Crossbones” was the strongest of the entire series so far, and mostly because there was an increase in pirate action, but also at the same time a decrease when it comes to some of the standing around and waiting. What’s also interesting going into next week’s “Antoinette” is that the lines of allegiances […]
After a few weeks of “Crossbones” seemingly struggling to figure out what sort of show it was, we got a little bit of a better sense of it Friday night. There was a little less when it came to politics, and a little more swashbuckling, action, and romance geared towards a TV14+ audience. Basically, this […]
Friday nights this summer have become a destination for NBC’s new pirate series “Crossbones,” but for those of you hoping to see another one of the adventures for Blackbeard and Thomas Lowe tonight on the high seas, you are probably feeling a little disappointed right now. A few days ago, it was looking almost like […]
We have to be honest here when saying that we expected “Crossbones” for its second week to be around a 0.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic, which in turn did not bode particularly well for its future. However, perhaps we did not give this particular pirate enough credit for now. The John Malkovich series actually […]
Tonight, we feel like “Crossbones” probably did not make enough of a leap forward with its second episode of the series. While there were a few exciting moments, there was also a story that struggled to find its identity, and characters who made choices that did not always make sense. However, we are genuinely feeling […]
The second episode of “Crossbones” aired on NBC Friday night, but we have a hard time being able to sit here and say that we were particularly stunned or in love with anything. There were some nice moments throughout the hour, and we will at least give John Malkovich credit for being awesome. The problem? […]
On Friday night, NBC is going to unveil the latest episode of “Crossbones,” but why not take a minute first to dive into how the show makes this swashbuckling action happen in the first place? Not only does the video below feature John Malkovich (Blackbeard) and Richard Coyle (Thomas Lowe) on set in Puerto Rico, […]
