Our Flag Means Death has become an instant TV comedy hit. The HBO Max series features the internet’s favorite gay pirate boyfriends, Stede Bonnet (Rhys Darby) and Blackbeard (Taika Waititi). And its growing rise in popularity is comparable to Ted Lasso‘s. Could the pirate parody be the newest heartwarming streaming hit?
The signs are certainly there. Following the release of Our Flag Means Death Season 1 Episodes 9 and 10, the show became the most in-demand series in the U.S., Business Insider reports. Parrot Analytics measured audience demand, interest, and engagement, and found that Our Flag was the most sought after and talked about TV show released in the previous 100 days, following the Episode 10 finale.
And while it ranked at No. 11 domestically and globally in Parrot’s analysis, it still falls in the top 0.2 percent of all streaming services. What’s more, the data revealed that interest in the show tripled over the course of Season 1. The March 3 series premiere was 11.9 times more in demand than other titles after its debut, and it was 36.7 times more in demand by the finale.
