A creator known for taking the extraordinary and making it mundane has done it again in spectacular fashion in the HBO Max comedy"Our Flag Means Death."
Throughout the show we get to see the pirate crew develop and grow around Captain Bonnet while he grows, too. The brilliance of this show lies in the slow development of the characters, something Waititi's other popular TV show"What We Do in the Shadows" lacks. When things do turn overtly romantic it happens in a tender and realistic way. Watching two characters on this show is like watching people realize feelings for each other in real life. It happens naturally. It isn't rushed, and that makes it even sweeter.
"Our Flag Means Death" broaches topics of sexuality, romance, and feelings with gentle hands but a firm foundation of support.
