Our Flag Means Death

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Our Flag Means Death

A Taika Waititi joint.

This is "What We Do in Shadows" except pirates. The setting is the 1700s, the language is present day. "Sweet!"

There's a British fancy lad who decides to leave his gentle, cultured life in which he was afforded no respect, and try to find himself in the Caribbean as a pirate. I like that aspect of it. I like the idea of taking a plunge like that, into the unknown.

Three episodes in so far.... and it's ok. I'm hoping it finds its footing. I haven't disliked anything Taika has done, yet. Production values seem to be decent.

By episode 8, this show is trying to be something more than silly, but in a silly setting.

It's interesting.

This show took a big ol' left turn the last couple episodes, almost completely shedding the vibe of the first episodes. Waititi made something poignant, yet again.

Is it a gay love story?
