Our Flag Means Death

“Oh, Taika Waititi’s doing a pirate comedy? That should be wacky and fun!” That’s what we told ourselves as we sat down to watch Our Flag Means Death. And indeed, it was wacky and fun—and then it started infusing all that wacky, fun stuff with wonderfully emotional layers we didn’t see coming. It’s a hilarious, bawdy pirate comedy that’s somehow also an earnest queer romance that practically became its own cultural movement, and we cannot wait for season two.
