Admitting it could be better, but then it had to be at least an hour longer. Then they could show more of the tech they used. But the human story they show here is captivating. The way the city grew, the pirates, merchants, artisans, people in search for wealth etc, is brought to life without romanticizing it too much. The well deserved reputation of being the wickedest city on earth has been recorded centuries ago. No wonder if you read the reports of visitors from before the earthquake. A part of British and Caribbean history that doesn't have the "American Hollywood sauce" dripping from it. Simply a joy to watch.

This should be a really cool documentary but they basically just go over the same small set of statements over and over, stretching what is realistically only about 15-20 minutes of content. Could've been done so much better.

Aside there being only scientific facts on what happened in Port Royal. This documentary seemed to be fueled by the hatred for pirates by Europeans and thus, fueled the story of Port Royal being the 'wickedest city of all time'. This propaganda could be smelled from a substantial amount of narration. From this documentary, Port Royal became 'wicked' because they were finding it hard to be colonized and stole from other thieves (European empires). Very biased 'documentary'.
