It’s hard not to feel like Season 2 is the Empire Strikes Back of Our Flag Means Death. It brings emotional, romantic, and comedic depth that never would have been possible without the foundation of Season 1, and it uses that advantage to reach heights both die-hard fans and skeptical viewers won’t see coming.
What makes the second season of “Our Flag Means Death” special is how much the writing leans into both a greater degree of representation and a consistent theme across all of its subplots about fighting back against societal expectations.
With this new installment, Jenkins and the rest of the writing team — Alyssa Lane, Alex Sherman, Adam Stein, Eliza Jiménez Cossio, John Mahone, Simone Nathan, Zayre Ferrer, Jes Tom, and Natalie Torres — still manage to strike the balance between lighter and darker elements, which all contribute to a perfect tenor that sings throughout every episode.
Sentimental yet satirical, with thoughtful hidden depths: a rare and welcome combination.
Fervent fans of the series will be majorly rewarded here; its sophomore season doesn't just bring a meaningful continuation of the story of the Revenge crew, but also some perfectly plotted-out season 1 parallels and sly fandom in-jokes.
Darby and Waititi remain the charming fulcrums around which their very funny ensemble rotate. Even with a less purposeful narrative this season, Flag’s characters and a clever remix of pirate tropes continue to make this a singular watch.
