Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Crossbones is an NBC historical adventure series created by Neil Cross (Luther, Doctor Who). It stars John Malkovich as the legendary pirate Edward Teach, a.k.a. Blackbeard and is set in 1715 on the island of Santa Campana, where he has set up rule as leader of the New World's first functioning democracy. As the series opens, Blackbeard's crew launches a fierce raid on an English vessel in an attempt to capture a valuable navigation device: a longitudinal chronometer. When the ship's physician, Tom Lowe (Richard Coyle), destroys the device, he is taken prisoner and brought to Blackbeard so he can be convinced to reassemble it. What Blackbeard doesn't know, however, is that Lowe is secretly an English spy and assassin assigned to kill the Pirate ruler.The show is loosely based on the book The Republic of Pirates by Colin Woodard. It premiered May 30th, 2014. The trailer can be seen here.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The show was cancelled on July 24, 2014 after one season.Compare Black Sails. | |

Cold-Blooded Torture: Based on the trailer, Blackbeard and company seem to have a knack for it. | |

Captain Colorbeard: Blackbeard, obviously, but as you can see in the poster, by this time he has aged a bit and prefers to wear a white goatee. | |

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: From Fletch: "I don't want to get my neck stretched, or stabbed through the vitals, neither. Or have my eyes torn out with hot pokers. Or called a monkey." | |

Alternate History | |
| Crossbones / int_a86069f | comment |
Alternate History: This show tells a story where Blackbeard never died, but instead secretly lived out a life in semi-retirement as the ruler of the Pirate Republic. As far as this trope goes, it is Truth in Television to an extent, as Blackbeard intended to do just that before his death. | |
