i’m SO happy rhys is FINALLY getting the recognition he deserves. he is such an incredibly talented guy. i knew these two had great chemistry before the show, but their romantic chemistry was such a wonderful surprise that i was not expecting at all

[@gosiataszarek6715]

Their romantic chemistry is off the chart, but seeing this here I should not be surprised. They are so comfortable together.

[@AlmightyArceus]

So SO happy that Rhys finally had a major show to star in, and teaming up with his old friend Taika makes this show absolutely perfect.

Lmao they really just bounce off each other so well. Really adds to the chemistry of the characters, I think.

This definitely proves how many great lines were improvised. This whole video sounds like the restaurant debate when they’re eating the snake.

This show left me laughing and crying more than any other show has, which was NOT what I expected at all from a “dark pirate comedy” when it first started. PLEASE give us season 2!

[@mandipandi303]

This show made me laugh and cry. It's so funny, heartfelt, and occasionally heartbreaking. The LGBTQ and BIPOC representation was awesome. The joy I feel at Stede and Ed being canon is unparalleled. Thank you for not queerbaiting us. Our Flag Means Death is my favorite comedy in years. I hope it wins all the Emmy awards. I need season 2 now!

[@serpentinasnape]

Their chemistry is mindblowing! How could you cancel this gem of a show!?? Shame on you, really. I hope another streamer picks it up to conclude their story.

[@kula7465]

The first one cracks me up, tons of pirates wore eye patches. Had nothing to do with having one eye, old ships were really dark below deck. And they didn’t want candles burning in their wooden ship. So they wore an eye patch on one eye to preserve their night vision in at least one eye. You could go below deck and still see. Was especially useful when attacking other ships.

[@kittykat490]

Watching their interviews makes me appreciate the improvised banter and eccentricities of their characters on the show and how naturally they embody their characters... I watched a different interview where they discussed that that basically was the idea, they didn't want them to put on big piratey accents and stuff but just wanted to let them be themselves as the characters which I think is great and makes them so real

[@taliacheng5006]

Wasn't the eyepatch thing about making one eye more light sensitive for underdeck use, as opposed to being about missing one eye? I suppose that might be a myth as well, or a hypothesis.

[@misterhoeflak]

Awesome video. A bit of eye patch trivia: they actually *were* commonly worn in the course of working on a ship, but not to cover lost eyes. You wore it on deck over one eye, and switched it to the other eye when you went below deck so you didn't have to wait for your eyes to adjust to adjust to the darkness. Lighting was generally very poor below deck, with only a few oil lanterns to provide a little illumination. The eyepatch trick saved time and prevented accidents.

[@krim_The_Deciever]

pirates had eye patches for a reason. it was so when they go below deck their eyes didn't have to adjust to the darkness, they just took off the eye patch.

Their characters are literally their own personalities presented.

[@sunshineflicker6120]

Some pirates actually wore eyepatches, but not because they had gotten injured. If one eye is covered with a patch, that eye will not be acclimated to the brightness on deck, so when they get bellow deck (for example during a raid) they could really quickly be able to see by just removing the eye patch, giving them an advantage when looting and fighting. Cool right c-:

HBO has really done this show DIRTY. Absolutely NO promotion. Had no clue it even existed until Twitter went crazy near the end. And i have HBO MAX and I’m on there fairly frequently. But all i ever saw them push was that Victorian New York version of downton abbey. And now they’re refusing to renew it for a 2nd season?? After they left it on a major cliffhanger? They wouldn’t have done such things were it straight & everyone knows it. 🙄
