Our Flag Means Death is an American two-season black comedy-drama television series based on the book by George Packer of the same name. It first premiered on HBO in 2021. The show follows the adventures of Captain David St. Clair, a British pirate who raids the ships of both England and France in the Caribbean Sea during the colonial period. As his success grows, St. Clair begins recruiting a loyal crew of criminals and criminals-in-training, who believe in his philosophy that the only way to survive and prosper in the Caribbean is to bend the law. This crew includes a female First Mate and a mysterious killer. St. Clair and his crew sail through the Caribbean, robbing and attacking ships from both sides of the conflict. Along the way, he deals with personal conflicts and grapples with his own morality, as his actions often leave innocent victims in their wake. The show takes inspiration from historical events, including the 1720 mutiny on the Whydah Gally, where St Clair’s crew mutinied and took charge of the ship. The show stars Zach McGowan as David St. Clair, Toby Schmitz as First Mate Jezebel, Jessica Parker Kennedy as female pirate Mary Read, and Bokeem Woodbine as mysterious assassin George. The series has received positive reviews from critics, with some praising its unique look at the Caribbean during the colonial period, and its exploration of morality and justice. It has also been nominated for multiple awards, including an Emmy and a Golden Globe for Best Comedy Series. Our Flag Means Death is available to stream on HBO Max.
