Enter Stede Bonnett, the self-proclaimed Gentleman Pirate. Unsatisfied with his wealthy, land-owning life at home, he sets sail on his ship The Revenge. Aboard, he wears fancy outfits, lounges in his library, and has a people-positive management style that leaves his crew itching for adventure. Enter Blackbeard, terrifying by name alone. He’s leather-clad, black-bearded (well, okay gray-bearded), and bored. So bored. Fascinated by this Gentleman Pirate’s original take on piracy, the pair team up to learn a thing or two from each other. As they swordfight, story tell, and scare alike, the two find a deeper connection than either of them expected. The crew around them is equally delightful with an on-screen non-binary character, a gay couple, and lots of hijinks. With all of the comedy you’d expect from a David Jenkins series and the pure joy of watching actors Rhys Darby and Taika Waititi in the lead roles, this show is a must watch! Now, if you’ve finished episode ten and are itching for something to fill the void while we wait for confirmation of a season two, here are ten books like Our Flag Means Death to pick up to help you through it.
