Overall this show has very likable and fun characters with a wacky comedy style. The main relationship between Stede and Blackbeard is very well done and each crew member is excellent. This show explores such great themes and it was not at all what I expected from this show during the first 2 episodes.
Episode breakdown:
Episodes 1-2 are the black sheep of the show. It sets up the rest of the show very well but in the moment while watching it's just not as interesting as the rest of the show and it doesn't reveal exactly what the show is about right away. In hindsight the episodes make the show better overall but they are quite boring by themselves.
Episode 3 is very funny and is the exception to the first 2 episodes, it doesn't introduce Blackbeard yet but the episode Itself is a lot more fun and enjoyable.
Episodes 4-10 are all very high quality and on similar levels. The show shifts to the relationship between Stede and Blackbeard and all the crew members and it begins to tell the great story, it's funny and heartwarming and definitely worth watching.
The ending is a bit of a cliffhanger, a little bittersweet but a second season seems to be teased with it.
Overall a very good show that should definitely be watched!
