The show “The Lost Pirate Kingdom” on Netflix is pretty interesting. It is mostly a movie (series) with historians injecting some commentary every so often. Maybe 10 minutes of action, 1 minute of commentary, etc.
I knew from reading about pirates years ago that they were one of the first truly democratic societies where decisions were based on voting. Who the captain of the ship would be, what ships to take, etc. The show talks about that quite a bit.
