I'm sure a series like this might grow on you like many others have before (especially during covid). We all need comedy to survive the horrors of the past few years of good friends dying of Covid and all that and now people dying by thousands now in Ukraine from bombs and tanks and missiles of all kinds.
So, maybe "The sillier the better" and what is more fun than "Silly Pirates?"
Taika Waititi is Blackbeard I guess but he doesn't seem to show up in the 1st episode. Imagine an evolved cultured person of today trying to be a Pirate captain while trying to get his men to "Talk out their problems" and you have some of the basis of Captain Stede Bonnet rich dude from England with actual pirates in the regular crew. I found out about it from an interview with Leslie Jones (SNL fame) on a late night show who is I guess a female pirate character with "19 husbands" in the series later on too I guess.
Upon discovering that his family has moved on in his absence, Stede vows to make things right with his wife, Mary; after a desperate attempt to stage a show for the crew, Izzy confronts a depressed Blackbeard about his former life.
At the mercy of Chauncy and the British, Stede and Blackbeard renounce their pirating ways in a desperate attempt to escape execution.
The arrival of Blackbeard's old buddy leaves Stede feeling like the odd man out; as Oluwande mourns a loss, Jim seeks answers from Spanish Jackie.
