Couldn't see a thread about this.

Did anyone else watch this

I loved it. Several laugh out loud moments

I watched it and absolutely loved it.

How do you watch this in the UK? Not sure if I'm being silly, but seen lots of clips and it looks great!

iklboo · 05/01/2023 13:32

Is it on U.K. tv now? We've been looking for it for ages!

Was it shown in US before, or Aus/NZ?

Seems to already have loads of fans

I'm still laughing at them flag making

What station is it on please?

BitOutOfPractice · 05/01/2023 13:47

Watched it last year and absolutely bloody loved it.

Filming just finished on season 2 apparently.

I recommend it to everyone but noone has ever heard of it!

BookLover1990 · 05/01/2023 13:48

@Autumnnewname I believe it was the US before - maybe HBO? Took a while to come across but at least it's not behind another paywall!

That explains the "fandom"

I loved it. So clever and funny

It's a NZ production I believe.

iklboo · 05/01/2023 14:02

Thank you Autumn!

Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton · 05/01/2023 14:20

Really enjoyed it

TitsInAbsentia · 05/01/2023 16:43

Oooof Blackbeard...lush....am sure he'd be happy to leave Rita Ora for a fifty something who spends all day in tracky bottoms right?

TitsInAbsentia · 05/01/2023 16:57

also meant to say it's an HBO show so aired in the States, says online was March last year it went out.

vestanesta · 07/01/2023 11:34

Dd and I watched the first 6 of this over the last couple of days.

Firstly I didn't actually realise that Stead Bonnet was a real pirate or his association with Blackbeard. So everyday is a school day.

Secondly I can't quite decide how much I like it. Some bits very funny, some bits a bit crass. Laughed like a drain in some parts (the gentleman pirate white outfits, Lucius doing the 'sketch'). I also generally love Con O'Neill. But its a bit too aware of its own cleverness maybe.

Also as a West Country girl I struggle with a non Bristolian Blackbeard. But I'll get over it I think ;)

BillStickersIsInnocent · 10/01/2023 17:23

I loved it. Wasn’t too sure to start with but it grew on me (or got better) about half way through. The last few episodes were sublime. Watching it again now!

pointythings · 10/01/2023 19:58

I've got two episodes left and I absolutely love it.

vestanesta · 10/01/2023 20:53

Totally agree - we finished it yesterday and adored it by the end. Ed!

BillStickersIsInnocent · 16/01/2023 16:37

Oh goodness that Fleetwood Mac sequence is just gorgeous.

Peccary · 02/02/2023 11:58

Just binged my way through this on a sick day and absolutely loved it. Funny with just the right amount of pathos.

Can't wait for the next ones and have been down a Wikipedia rabbit hole about 18th century pirates.

I've also started on What we do in the Shadows too after finally seeing the film.

You'll enjoy that. I liked both the film and the series in their different ways

Although Matt Berry is my guilty pleasure. And he is filthy in this

Bloody loved it. Taika Waititi as Blackbeard ... 🔥😍🔥😍🔥😍🔥☠️

chaosmaker · 09/03/2023 01:13

Yes can stream it on iplayer. I found it got a lot better from about ep 3 and then I got obsessed. Finished watching it and watched it through from the start again. Just love all the relationships in it between all of the characters to each other and of course the other relationships. Love that it's not about the sexuality but about how feelings build between people. In short I adore it.
