Kristy Puchko Mashable Amid heart-to-hearts about trauma and change, Jenkins and his crew make room for queer joy. Oct 7, 2023 Full Review Geordie Gray The Australian For those of us with a silly, swashbuckling side, this HBO comedy — which stars two of New Zealand’s biggest kooks, Rhys Darby and Taika Waititi — is dumb and occasionally glorious entertainment. Oct 6, 2023 Full Review Judy Berman TIME Magazine The show is still fun in this mode. It just doesn’t feel as daring, or as liberating, as it can at its best. Our Flag means freedom -- and freedom is the opposite of smooth sailing. Oct 6, 2023 Full Review Amelia Cameron Loud and Clear Reviews At its core, the series remains a story about change, reinvention and belonging, with some swashbuckling and sword fighting thrown in for good measure, which is bound to strike the hearts of viewers, old or new. Rated: 4/5 Feb 24, 2025 Full Review Alex Valencia Q+ Magazine Every aspect of the story is meticulously crafted, resulting in a show that can make you laugh heartily one moment, gasp in surprise the next, and then move you to tears in the following scene. Jul 16, 2024 Full Review Kate MacDonald That Shelf The series has upgraded in almost every way while remaining true to its thematic mockery of toxic masculinity.

Gareth v A solid final season. This motley crew of pirates continue with their silliness on the high seas, that despite a few flat spots has enough laughs to keep you coming back. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/21/25 Full Review Carola F Great second season of this swashbuckling, romantic romp! Taika and Rhys play their characters lovingly, and the supporting crew brings a lot of warmth. The end is very sweet, but sadly came way too soon for this show. I'd gone with them to the world's end. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/01/25 Full Review Vick B This is one of the best comedy series I've ever seen. Truly magnificent in every detail, inspired writing and characters who have depth and complexity, pathos and humour, all capable of both great love and horrible deeds. Brilliant acting, gorgeous sets and costumes, grisly historical details and a great soundtrack. Surely the greatest pirate love story ever told! Whoever was responsible for stopping the production of a third series deserves to walk the plank. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/25 Full Review Carly K Just finnished this season and it was great. Really loved the acting. This is the best show I have seen in a while. I would watch this season and this show again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/01/25 Full Review Julie C Still the brilliant pirate rom com that was season 1 but with added depth and gorgeous scenery! Perfect television Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/19/24 Full Review Megan H Where do I even start with this show? It's as close to a masterpiece as a show can get! It brings literally all the feels, and is one of the most inclusive shows ever created. The cast and crew did such a good job bringing these characters to life, and there's so much heart in this show, it literally means the world to me. Don't walk. RUN to watch this show!
