Movie #2121 ""Our Flag Means Death" (HBO) Season 1 ---- Overall, I found this show quite amusing, but it does have a lot of silliness. But look at the topic! and the cast --- with Waititi playing Blackbeard who wants to learn "class" from Stede Bonnet who is a "classy" pirate who doesn't want to kill anyone. Hiss crew spends their days knitting or making flags or whatever..... the secondary group of pirates are very funny and work well together. And just when you think there are no women on the ship, you are wrong, because one is in disguise. It has 10 episodes, but they are short (about 30 mins each) and full of lots of laughs, but a lot of silliness, too. With all the heaviness of the other shows we have been watching, it's nice to sit back and just giggle with this one --- I give it a 4 out of 5.
