Fans of Kiwi humor will jump right in with all the enthusiasm of Stede Bonnet deciding to be a pirate captain.
In this episode we meet our protagonist Stede as he leaves his family behind and begins his journey at sea. He pays his crew a salary to alleviate the "mental pressure" of needing to steal. His newly commissioned ship, the Revenge, features a library and other amenities, but some of the crew would rather be raiding ships.
As the pilot continues, we get to know some of the crew members and meet a cruel figure from Stede's past (guest star Rory Kinnear in a delightfully unhinged performance).
