From Izzy Hands to Stede Bonnet, these are the best characters on Our Flag Means Death ranked by how likable they are.
Loosely based on a true story, Our Flag Means Death is a period rom-com set during the Golden Age of Piracy in the 18th century and follows Stede Bonnet, called the Gentleman Pirate, an aristocrat who gives up his cushy lifestyle to be a pirate and is, unsurprisingly, not very good at it. The series premiered in March 2022 on streaming service Max and has run for two seasons so far, and although a third hasn't been announced, the show's success and critical praise makes it likely.
Izzy was a complex character who experienced a lot of growth over the course of the show’s two seasons—while he was more of an antagonist in Season 1, that wasn’t exactly the case in Season 2, which showed a different side to him. When left in charge of the Revenge, he proved to be a cruel captain, so much so that the crew staged a mutiny. But no matter what, he was always loyal to Ed and simply wanted the best for him.
7 Lucius Spriggs Played by Nathan Foad Lucius Spriggs is a crew member on the Revenge, in charge of keeping records and documenting the crew’s adventures, as he’s the only one—other than Stede himself—who’s able to read and write. He was presumed dead at the end of Season 1 after Ed pushed him from the ship into the ocean, but he was ultimately revealed to be alive in Season 2. He struck up a romance with Black Pete, and the two married at the end of Season 2.
He and Roach may think of themselves as “men of science,” but in reality, Frenchie is deeply superstitious—not surprising for a pirate. He’s also a bit of a grifter, known for hilarious schemes. All of this makes him fun to watch, but it also makes it hard to picture him as a captain, at least a functional one. Then again, that wouldn’t be a first for Our Flag Means Death.
4 Jim Jimenez Played by Vico Ortiz Revenge crew member Jim was born in St. Augustine, and as a child, their entire family was killed by a group of roving outlaws, leading them to be raised by nuns. Jim is non-binary. In order to avoid pirate Spanish Jackie, played by Leslie Jones, who has a bounty on their head after they killed her favorite husband, Jim initially dons the disguise of a fake beard and nose aboard the Revenge and pretends to be mute, with only Oluwande aware of the truth.
Buttons is by far the strangest character aboard the Revenge, as he’s very superstitious and has a number of interesting quirks—including basking nude in the moonlight—but that just makes him a hilarious part of the show, and his transformation into a seagull was a hilarious, over-the-top part of the series. But there’s more to him than that. He’s also loyal to Stede, who places immense trust in him, and is a crucial part of his crew.
