    So unfunny and bland, i feel bad for the actors who had to carry such a lazy and dumb writing.

    Our Flag Means Death might be too laid-back to actually be funny, but it drifts towards somewhere good.

    We recommend you stay for the voyage, because once the easy gags about a progressive pirate captain several fathoms out of his depth have all been used up, Our Flag Means Death charts a slightly different course. ... The relationship between Stede, the gentle man who wants to be a tough guy, and Blackbeard, the tough guy who wants to be a gentler man, is developed with surprising tenderness. There’s even an element of Mad Men’s fixation on how everyone wants something in their life.

    It is the chemistry between the two leads, who are old friends from New Zealand, that keeps this lark afloat.
