Nice. I'll finish season 1 at some point. Got distracted a few episodes in and haven't had the time to continue.
Things that make you say "Let's f***ing go"
Like a spectacular play in a sporting event, or just some random, positive happenstance. What makes you say "Let's fucking go" out loud?

Hell, fucking yes. This show turned out to be a true delight, and I absolutely need more Stede in my life.
First few episodes aren't great, but around episode 4 it becomes legitimately amazing. Funny and heartfelt and extremely gay
I was watching along with the premier and each episode drop with no expectations, just something genre-silly to fill the gap of WWDitS, and before a fandom developed after it became obvious that the show was queer and earnest, no baiting. Any general audience reactions to the 3-episode premiere have no bearing on what the season would be by the end (rom-com/dramedy) and why a fandom would ultimately assemble.
Yup, everyone should at least watch up until episode 4 to see the rapport between Stede and Blackbeard.
And those initial pre-Blackbeard episodes are perfect upon a rewatch, being able to pick up on the foreshadowing and themes in the phenomenal writing by David Jenkins. First 3 episodes really build up Stede's yearning that we now understand is romantic too, not just the fantasy of a life at sea as a particular type of man, which is cute if you were invested in the relationship-aspect of the show. I think the whole ensemble shines in those initial episodes upon a rewatch knowing how they'll be fleshed out later.
The Izzy actor, Con O'Neill, is the number 1 champion of the show and the fandom of socials - check him out. I can't help but love his abrasive character after being charmed by the actor's engagement with the fandom.
The show was good from the first episode, then becomes great once a certain character is properly introduced
Absolutely wonderful hopeful show, and very very LGBT
Also if you like Monkey Island style humor this show is chockful

The first 3 episodes are not good, we actually stopped watching after episode 2 and only after a few friends told us to stick with it, we kept going. It gets better. I still don't think the show is that great, the production values are really abysmally bad compared to what I consider the "gold standard" of pirate shows, Black Sails, but this is a comedy so you have to make some allowances I guess. Most of the time the show feels like its on a theatrical stage.
It definitely ramps up the humor and "character stories" after episodes 3 or 4. In many ways it reminds me of The Office or P&R, the first few episodes of those shows were not good but once they hit their stride they got a lot better, this show feels a bit similar and I'm curious to see if season 2 will improve dramatically.
Fucking finally! easily one of the best shows in recent memory. Bet they specifically waited for Pride month to announce it lmao
