Just finished ‘Our Flag Means Death’ (HBO), loosely based on the life of Stede Bonnett, who, in 1717, abandoned his life as a wealthy aristocrat in Barbados to become a pirate. Very good, especially the story line about a sexually confused Blackbeard who is having a life crisis over his choice of career. Funny stuff.
