The pilot is pleasant and likeable. A bit like Captain Stede Bonnet (Rhys Darby) and aristocrat turned pirate ship captain.
He abhors violence and likes to give his crew decent working conditions and a regular wage.
Stede is not cut out to be a pirate and his crew are plotting to get rid off him as he shows no stomach for fight. The crew are not used to having a pirate captain treating them with compassion.
A sighting of another ship gives Stede an opportunity to prove himself. Only for it to be a much larger Royal Navy ship on the lookout for pirates.
Can Stede take advantage of a bullying old school friend to be a hero to his crew?
Although made in America. The humour of New Zealanders Taika Waititi and Rhys Darby is very much in tune with quirky British humour. At times Stede seemed to be channelling his flamboyant side just like Captain Shakespeare in Stardust without his bravery.
