Our flag means death S1E1 Reaction | I love this captain! 

Pinocchio came out in 1883, so over 160 years after this show is set. But they're not really going for historical accuracy anyway XD

Please guys don't tell her ANY spoilers or info about the show & its characters We need her genuine reactions to what comes next Thanks, ur reaction is great!

Fun fact: Show creator David Jenkins has a cameo in this episode as officer Shaw, the one who has tea spilled in his lap and then gets tied to row the boat 🤣 I have absolutely adored this show since it came out in 2022 and it's been my favourite ever since 😊 I always love seeing people who enjoy it from ep 1, as the first 3 can be a little slow for some. Personally I knew I was going to keep watching from the ball room joke 😅 From the characters in this episode Stede is definitely my favourite, I've just always found him very relatable and I adore how enthusiastic he is, even if he has no idea what he's doing 😊 though the crew are all very loveable in their own ways, I can hardly pick a fave 😁

Young Stede Bonnet was played by adult Stedes actor Rhys Darbys actual son

This show is definitely worth watching. And I say that as someone who's not really interested in the romance. The comedy alone is that good. People who are really into the romantic aspects of the show tend to go nuts over it.

I'm a huge OFMD fan and I'm really glad you appreciated the first episode as much as I do! I can tell you're going to love this show so much

Yes! Oh my goodness you NEED to watch the rest of it. I adore this show!! It really picks up! Great reaction!

I'm always so excited to see new people finding this show and reacting to it. It's my absolute favorite. I really hope you will continue, there are so many more great things to come.

Moments I remember falling for them individually in the first episode: Jim x knives, especially through the English officer’s hand! Pete’s little ineffectual “Goddamit!” Olu’s “He reads us stories at night” Roach’s “I’m not asking you; I’m asking him.” Love his pragmatism. Wee John’s “And what if it were?” Frenchie’s goth sea shanties. Buttons seemingly random loyalty to Stede. The Swede “Talk… about… it?” Stede - reading to them at the end Nigel Badminton - never. But Rory had me at “EeeeEeyyyyYYYEEEeeee” David Jenkins - not just him rowing the boat, but his musical choices, his use of the cast, & his sweetness. Please, please continue with this series. It is amazing. (Also Jim & their actor Vico use they/them pronouns)

No idea if Pinocchio had been written by this point, but they play very fast and loose with the history so don't worry about it too much lol! I think they do it in a really fun and purposeful way to blend old and modern - for example, if you look, Olu is wearing crocs

I'm always excited to find someone new reacting to OFMD. It's my comfort show. I love all the characters so much. 💖Subscribed and would love to see you react to the rest. 😊

Absolutely continue! This is one of the best comedies I’ve ever seen, and also very romantic and adventurous! It is great from the start bust an absolute BLAST starting in episode 4. And the new season is even better!

Subscribing. OFMD is my absolute favorite. Can't wait to see what you think about the rest!

Your question made me curious, and turns out you're right, the first edition of Pinocchio was published as a serial in 1881. But as others have said, the timelines for the show are a bit loose anyway. (As an aside, I learned something. Honestly I was surprised it was so recent, I thought it was a much OLDER story, and I also didn't realise it had a single author. I thought Pinocchio was in the same camp as Little Red Riding Hood etc, with well known versions being an amalgamation of older folk tales. For fairytales, 1881 is pretty recent. So thanks for sending me down a fun little google rabbithole!) Definitely worth continuing! Though you may need to adjust your expectations as far as levels of violence, these are still pirates. For the most part it's offscreen or implied violence though (like how we didn't see the captain get stabbed, just the aftermath.) I look forward to seeing you fall in love with all of these ridiculous people, the whole cast is brilliant, and the writing is both funny and hearthfelt.

Oh god please watch this show, I love it sm and its so so good. You wont regret it, you should be ready for a good time and great comedy, character development and dynamics! Plus the romance is *chefs kiss* 💖 Plus: his wife is supposed to be two years younger than him!

Just subscribed! I hope you continue reacting to this show

id love to see you continue watching!

Please keep reacting. However, as you're doing so, avoid Tumblr, or looking up any information about the show or the actors, and especially no more trailers! Even be careful in the comments section! Particularly, around episodes 4 and 5. People seem to think that spoiling this show is okay, and you don't want that! It's always more fun to see a genuine reaction from someone who isn't already familiar with what's going to happen!

You should continue.

07:20 I get car sick whenever I'm on a road that's too curvy and I'm not the one driving, but the only time I got seasick, there was enough alcohol involved that I can't really blame it on the boat motion 😂. The motion made it worse, but it wasn't the main culprit. All the other times I've been in boats I was fine, so you should try, maybe cars are worse for you as well.
