Even better, this show is based on a true story. The main character was a real person of wealth who abandoned his family and sold everything to become a pirate. Blackbeard befriended him and they sailed together. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stede_Bonnet
He was a pirate for all of one year. That may sound short but Blackbeard, who we all know and likely think of as a successful pirate, was only a pirate captain for 2 years.
Surprisingly, season 2 airs in October. I would have though Zaslav had axed it. It is wonderfully bizarre and barely anyone has watched it.
