Our Flag Means Death is an American fantasy series which aired on HBO Max. The series premiered on March 3, 2022.
The HBO Max platform has commissioned a series of pirates that will be directed by Oscar-winning director Taika Waititi for "Jojo Rabbit."
Titled "Our Flag Means Death", the series will be based on the adventures of pirate Stede Bonnet, an aristocrat who left out life full of money to become a pirate alongside the infamous Blackbeard. For his refined upbringing, he was known as "The Gentleman Pirate
The first few episodes of this new series from Taika Waititi were not very strong. The humor was quite lame and lame. Only after Blackbeard (played by Waititi) made his entrance in the third episode did the series go to the next level and now it actually gets more fun every episode. Funny fact is that the series is based on a pirate who actually existed (Stede Bonnet, The Gentleman Pirate: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stede_Bonnet) and that many of the events in the series are based on things that really happened. Probably slightly different and less funny than in the series, but I was surprised that the fact that Bonnet and Blackbeard were on a ship together for a while actually happened. I still have to watch the last episodes, so I'm curious whether the story still offers opportunities for a second season. Not according to Wikipedia ;-)
