"When you come with Taika Waititi people want to buy your show, I’ve learned.” LOL

Hi! I liked the lack of editing in this video, i've watched a lot of interviews about this show and most of them were cut down to just a few minutes and it felt like nothing was even said, so thanks for not doing that! I also enjoyed the questions as well!

[@Andrea-tr1wm]

What a wonderful interviewer! asks great questions, doesn't interrupt, and has genuine interest in the answers. A lot of interviewers try so hard to be entertaining, but this kind of interview gives the greatest insight!

[@cfor8129]

Rhys is so funny

[@carbohydration9251]

Gotta be one of my fav OFMD interviews. Love that it goes on interrupted and uncut!

[@lnfreeman]

This was such a refreshing interview to find late in the game. Some fresh questions, all fresh responses.

Never less than a challenge forever.

This might be one of my favorite ofmd interviews :D

[@Jibberish55]

I had wondered if David Jenkins had ever seen Black Sails, which is another great pirate TV show with LGBT characters, but I guess not since he didn't correct Rhys that there had never been a pirate TV show before.

[@tracy1097]

He must have - the opening OFMD screen (1717. The Golden Age of piracy...) is an obvious reference to the opening of Black Sails. Absolutely identical format, font & everything

[@nyg2496]

i think there was also an interview where he (or maybe it was taika?) mentioned something something abt black sails

[@jsantiago9485]

I think they meant there had never been a pirate show like OFMD that sets lgbtq+ characters as upfront protagonists instead of token characters

[@Jibberish55]

@@jsantiago9485 Even by that standard Black Sails was first. Several main characters were LGBT and it was essential to the plot. I can't go into more detail without getting into spoilers. That being said I love both shows.

[@jsantiago9485]

@@Jibberish55 I never knew, so I appreciate it. I guess I should try and check out Black Sails while I await season 2 with everyone.
