Our Flag Means Death / Taika Waititi / HBO Max

“Our Flag Means Death” is loosely based on the true adventures of Stede Bonnet (Darby), a pampered aristocrat who abandoned his life of privilege to become a pirate.

Bonnet was apparently an actual-datcual fop, supposedly driven to the sea to escape his nagging wife, whom Blackbeard took under his wing almost just for the sheer entertainment the man brought him.
 
They'll need to fictionalize alot if they're going to make a multi season series about Bonnet. He was only active for 2 years and part of that time he did nothing because he didn't wont to lose his pardon.
 
I took a Warner Bros studio tour the other day and they were getting ready for this show. I saw some props by the stage set. Pretty cool.
 
If this thing is at the same level as What We Do in the Shadows, I’ll be in from start to finish.
 
Though it just look like WWDITS with pirates (instead of vampires), I’ll probably watch
 
I still have to watch What We Do in the Shadows, but the trailer is giving off R-rated Muppet Treasure Island vibes, minus the Muppets. That doesn't sound like a compliment but it is to me. :o
 
It kind of reminds me of a live-action Aardman The Pirates!
 
Not a super funny trailer, but based on pedigree alone, I’m going to assume they’re saving their best for the show itself.
 
Looks good. When he talked about he wants to be a gentleman pirate captain made me think of Boba Fett and how he wants to be a crime lord without actually committing any crime lol.
 
Ha, this looks super fun. Kind of a ‘what we do in the shadows’ meets ‘sea of thieves’. Can’t wait to check it out
 
I don’t even know what to say about this.
It’s not what I expected I guess.
 
Premieres tomorrow. Didn’t realize this was so close.
 
Not too shabby, it started with 94% on RT with an average rating of 7.3/10.

 
This show is fantastic. Don't go in expecting What We Do in the Shadows, because it's definitely not the same kind of shot.

I'd say go in expecting a funny, sometimes dark, but mostly wholesome and interesting character driven comedy.
 
I'm sure all the fans asking for this can now breathe a sigh of relief.
 
wish I could see this somewhere…but like Peacemaker no streaming service in Germany has it
