Update: RIP in Peace, HBO's "Our Flag Means Death"


Recommended Posts

Hoping a Canadian station picks this up for viewing and not go directly to our paid channels (Raised by Wolves is on our cable Sci-Fi  channel) Too bad this wasn’t the Werewolf series that had been talking about from the What We Do in the Shadows movie. Still this looks like a bunch of fun and sort of has that Pirate crew feeling from Stardust (maybe a few brain cells lower)

I will give it a go. Don't know the lead guy's name, but I've liked him in the few things I have seen him in. 

 

Rhys Darby, he's great. He's best known as Murray from Flight of the Conchords, but he's one of those guys who shows up all over the place.

Just binged through the 3 episodes and so far it's been great. The cliff hanger at the end of episode 3 made me upset that I have to wait until next Thursday for the next episode :cry:

3 new episodes today! Let’s gooooooo

I've completed the season and I gotta say that there just wasn't enough material here for 10 episodes.

 

Shaving off two to three episodes would've definitely served this series quite well and made it far more enjoyable as the wind really came out of its sails towards the end (see what I did there?)

 

I can't help but compare this to What We Do in the Shadows and unfortunately, in that comparison this show comes up pretty short.

  • Commissar SFLUFAN changed the title to Our Flag Means Death (HBO Max) - a pirate comedy series from Taika Waititi, Season 2 debuts on 05 October 2023

Tonight was the season finale and I can honestly say that I have absolutely zero clue about what this entire season was supposed to be about despite having a (welcomingly!) shorter season than the first.

 

The season was moderately entertaining, but overall I just really don't think the creators really have a sense of where it's supposed to be going.

This turn of events isn't particularly surprising, but at least the series ended in a good place for the two lead characters.

The pirate comedy starring Rhys Darby and exec producer Taika Waititi ran for two seasons on the streamer.

Max is lowering its Flag.

 

The Warner Bros. Discovery-backed streamer has canceled its comedy series Our Flag Means Death after a two-season run. David Jenkins created the pirate comedy that starred Rhys Darby and exec producer Taika Waititi.

 

“While Max will not be moving forward with a third season of Our Flag Means Death, we are so proud of the joyous, hilarious, and heartfelt stories that creator David Jenkins, Taika Waititi, Rhys Darby, Garrett Basch, Dan Halsted, Adam Stein, Antoine Douaihy, and the entire superb cast and crew brought to life. We also thank the dedicated fans who embraced these stories and built a gorgeous, inclusive community surrounding the show,” a spokesperson for Max said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.
