I watched both series one and series two.
If you remember it is a prequel to Treasure Island and absolute fantasy adventure romp, you should enjoy it. I was worried that they had 'jumped the shark' at the end of season 1, but it came back really strong in season 2. The ship bits were great.
I also re-watched Master and Commander, after going through all of Patrick O'Brian's books (Audio book). Only then did I appreciate the level of detail in the movie, as so much of the series of books was included in the one film.
