Vampires, werewolves, aliens, superheroes, pirates: There are some genres that never feel old. Taika Waititi has now had experience with all five through What We Do in the Shadows, his work with Star Wars and Marvel, and now HBO Max’s pirate comedy Our Flag Means Death. Waititi executive produced, and he directs and stars in a few episodes, but the spotlight is set on his fellow Kiwi comedy legend Rhys Darby, who brings a delightful Michael Scott energy to the real-life “gentleman pirate” Stede Bonnet.
