    Our Flag Means Death, season 2, give it up for the women

    Our Flag Means Death, season 2, added some more women characters to the pirate mix. Enough that I felt it was worth talking about the series this season.

    Happy Valley series 2, episode 1 aired on BBC One this week. The series is off to an exciting start. I can’t stop myself from writing about this series. I shall try to restrain myself from writing recaps with so many spoilers for season 2. I did that for season 1. Feel free to mention…
