Hey @netflix.com please fix the massive error made by HBO Max! Clearly they were looking at the wrong set of numbers. There's a TON of us fans waiting for a third season. We want to spend money on merch! We want these artists to have another chance to win all the awards they deserve! #SAVEOFMD

Hi Michael @spiralling-doors.bsky.social, that you?
I went to the Heureka Science Center in Finland yesterday and there was a distorted 4 dimensional ball next to A Spiral and the ball's name was Michael. Made me feel quite uneasy...

This fan art bought us another season and put food on all of our tables. We will always be indebted to you.

Sometimes I remember worrying that I was embarrassing when I started sharing my fanart. I fell so hard & so fast for our pirates. Then a pro comic artist I really look up to just out of the blue told me my OFMD stuff was "beautiful work". It was like he knew I needed to hear it right at that moment.

Sure sounds like it! To add seven sugars would be overkill...though that's just how we like it.

Dark is not much like 1899. It is rooted in reality, has a great atmosphere, great cast and gives you a great mindfuck when you delve a little deeper into who is related to whom and the whole mystery behind it. But you will be rewarded with it all making sense in the end.

THE NUMBERS WERE ALWAYS THERE 😘
#SaveOFMD

“• Unlike most shows that end up hitting ‘Exceptional’ levels of demand, Our Flag Means Death had almost no pre-release demand, likely due to the fact it was based on totally original IP.

• Nonetheless, the series debuted to solid demand on March 3, pulling in 11.9x more demand than the average show in the US.

• As more episodes release were on a unique schedule, with two to three episodes launched every Thursday from March 3-24, demand for the show steadily grew week over week.

• Demand for Our Flag Means Death jumped to 36.7x on March 24 — meaning US demand for the show grew 208% between the March 3 series premiere and the March 24 season one finale.”

“How well is this TV series doing in the United States?

Last 30 days:
9.1x Difference from market average
OUTSTANDING

Parrot Analytics has found that the audience demand for Our Flag Means Death is 9.1 times the demand of the average TV series in the United States in the last 30 days. 2.7% of all shows in this market have this level of demand.”

Screenshot of the RottenTomatoes score for Our Flag Means Death season 2, with the Tomatometer at 96% and the Popcornmeter at 95%, and the summary below reading:
“Stede Bonnet, a pampered aristocrat, abandons his life of privilege to become a pirate in the early 18th century.”

“So far, the second season of "Our Flag Means Death" is exceeding the peak of demand for the show's first season and has averaged nearly 45 times the average series demand in its first 10 days.

To put this in context, this is about 50% higher demand than the third season of "The Righteous Gemstones" which premiered June 18th. It is also outpacing demand for the third season of "Succession" in 2021.

While demand for the fourth and final season of "Succession" this year eclipsed these other series, the fact that "Our Flag Means Death" is outperforming HBO staples that had an additional season to grow their audience underscores that this swashbuckling rom-com is no longer a scrappy sleeper hit but a flagship original for Max.”
