These Reactions Prove That "Our Flag Means Death" Is The Next Comedy Jackpot From HBO
If you were feeling maudlin because Peacemaker has ended, then HBO Max's new show Our Flag Means Death has got you covered. It's a period comedy set in the 18th century that melds The Office and Pirates of the Caribbean.
Inspired by the life of a real person and produced by the prolific Taika Waititi, this buccaneer comedy revolves around the "adventures" of an aristocrat who wants to become a pirate but with all the mannerisms of a gentleman. During his seafaring, he meets the legendary pirate Blackbeard (Waititi), and the brotherhood of buccaneer evolves into something else.
Supporting the gentleman pirate is a motley crew of oddballs and misfits played by some popular actors, including Kristian Nairn, famous for his role as Hodor in Game of Thrones.
