‘Our Flag Means Death’ more popular than ‘Moon Knight’ as HBO sits on renewal

15 April, 2022

Parrot Analytics is back to tell us what the streaming services won’t, which shows are popular compared to one another, and one standout is putting up numbers so good that they’re almost confusing.

That would be Our Flag Means Death, the HBO Max pirate comedy that Parrot lists as its most “in demand” series even two weeks after its finale. Even more impressive is that it has been able to hold off a new Marvel challenger, Moon Knight, even as Moon Knight demand itself has surged 64% week over week.

The way Parrot calculates things this does not necessarily mean that viewership for Our Flag is higher than Moon Knight, as other things are taken into account like social media chatter, where Our Flag is hugely dominant as fans scream to get it renewed for a second season and post fan art all over Twitter and TikTok.
