Show is great so far!
Another 3 episodes next week 3/10, but unsure how many in total.

I just watched the first three and I'm digging it. There wasn't anything that made me laugh-out-loud like in Righteous Gemstones but the humor is still enough for me. I read a really great book about pirates last year after watching Black Sails and have had a pirate itch that hasn't been getting scratched, so I'm eagerly awaiting the next episodes.
Why have HBO Max been so quiet on this? I'm looking forward to checking it out at some point soon.
I believe it only is 6 episodes similar to the 'traditional' British comedy series order.

Just watched the 2nd episode.... Jesus Christ, as a kid who grew up playing Monkey Island in the 90s and loving films like Nate and Hayes, this is the kind of show I always wanted.
This shit is AWESOME! (^____^)

According to wikipedia, there's 4 more episodes to go. Binged the first 6 on my flights today and really like how ridiculous it is.
never heard of this show before, but i do love monkey island, will check it out, thanks!
I hadn't heard anything about this show's existence and just flipped it on when the first 3 episodes dropped, I am absolutely loving it
This show doesn't reach the heights of other Waititi/Darby projects, but I'm enjoying well enough. Hope it gets enough reception to do another season if that's the plan. I could definitely see this improving as it figures things out.
I didn't realize this show was based on a real person until last night and now my enjoyment of the show has increased even further.
i think the weird releasing format is affecting things
people needs to watch this show
We watched like 3 episodes but there really isn't anything funny in the show so far, just sorta setups with not much humor other than "aren't these people ridiculous?"
The visuals are really terrible too, I'm not expecting Black Sails level of ship realism but this looks like a stage play.
Oh well, hope it gets better.

This builds into something really nice. It needs a good four episodes however, because Waititi's character is a key element to what ends up forming the core of the show.
My understanding, from being around industry folks, is that a second season is indeed being planned. Don't know if everything's officially committed on that, but things are happening on that front.

Same for me, glad folks are enjoying it, though. For me I got bored very quickly and also found the look distracting in a way I can't quite put my finger on.

For me this will never be topped.
It's very hit and miss with me and my wife. It was hard to get through the last 3 episodes, but the passive aggressive episode was good. We will continue to watch, just wish it had more funny moments.
I watched the first 3 or 4 episodes, next one looks like Nick Kroll is in, and I think I'm done with it. Just not enough laughs for me. Only reason I might watch another episode is because Taika finally showed up and see if it gets any better.
Stick with the show. It absolutley gets better when taika shows up. Also eat some oranges if you have scurvy
A decent watch but makes me want more Miracle Workers. Now that show had a killer fucking cast to carry failed jokes and gags.
I was so so on this show at the start. It really clicked with me after Blackbeard became part of the main cast. I was really not expecting a gay romance going into this as the center of the show. Fleetwood Mac at the end of the last episode was great. Having it timed to the British drummer was a nice touch.
Show starts rough like many TV comedies but I'm enjoying it more and more with each episode. Hoping to see these characters fleshed out in the future!

'Our Flag Means Death' finally portrays historical queerness correctly
The HBO Max series delivers a shocking twist with more historical merit than you may think.
For anyone who needs more Rhys, Wrecked is on HBO Max as well. 3 glorious seasons. Criminally underrated comedy.
