This article contains spoilers for "Our Flag Means Death" season 2.
"Our Flag Means Death" is not a show that can be accused of holding back. Like Spanish Jackie (Leslie Jones) meeting a new potential husband for her collection, David Jenkins' pirate comedy just loves to say "yes!" to its heart's desires. So, when the opportunity arose to create an underwater dream sequence in which Ed Teach, aka Blackbeard (Taika Waititi), has a vision of his lost love Stede Bonnet, aka the Gentleman Pirate (Rhys Darby), swimming towards him as a hunky merman, the "Our Flag Means Death" team was all-in.

This post contains spoilers for season 2 of "Our Flag Means Death."
The crew of the Revenge set sail again this week — with a lot more expectant eyes on them than last time. "Our Flag Means Death," the charming pirate rom-com whose fervent fanbase seemed to grow exponentially during the show's off-season, has finally returned to Max for its second season, and so far, it's delivering on all fronts. The first three episodes include multiple death fake-outs (Lucius is back! Izzy isn't dead!), a few well-executed romantic reshuffles and character introductions, and a whole lot of the show's signature zany, sweet humor.
They also feature a lot of angst. The season 1 finale made it clear that Ed Teach (Taika Waititi), aka Blackbeard, was in a bad headspace post-breakup with Stede Bonnet (Rhys Darby), but throwing Lucius overboard and feeding Izzy his own toes proved to be just the beginning of his reign of lonely terror.
