I got through our flag means death in a day. It is a truly brilliant show with an amazing cast, really loveable characters, genuine diversity (both among the cast itself but also in the crew and amongst the writers.) I can see a fair few people saying they "didn't find it funny" and "got bored" and obviously all of this stuff is subjective but, for me, both of those statements couldn't be further from the truth. I laughed, I cried, and, when I reached the end, I underwent the seven stages of grief over the uncertainty of a second season. And I haven't stopped thinking about it since.

I'm not a massive television person myself, and I only ever really watch TV if I think there's something special there, and I'm so glad I bothered with this one. There is something about it that is truly so loveable - I think it's because of the amount of love that you can tell went into it? It feels like it was made with the best of intentions, and created by people who truly thought it would do good things - and it has.

Shows like this are so important. Shows like this would have changed my life when I was little. I'm so glad that media like Our Flag Means Death exists. Because it will change lives, even in little, almost unnoticeable ways.

I couldn't recommend it more - truly.

Where to begin. this is one of the best films i have seen all year, though admittedly i am a tad biased because of my undying love of kristen stewart, and the fact that i have been waiting five months for it. regardless, never have i felt so represented by a film before, many aspects of this film encapsulate my story. it's done beautifully - far better than anything i could have possibly imagined. it's a heartfelt, genuinely funny film that was exactly the kind of media that could have changed my life aged 13. i am so unequivocally grateful to Cléa DuVall for the creation of this movie. i'm not sure if i'll ever have the words to describe how important this movie is, but i can say that i recommend it to you, and would do so a million times over.

Okay, sure this film isn't a piece of art. It wasn't advertised as one and despite the opinions of these other reviews, I wasn't at all bored. I didn't 'fall asleep' or wish I was doing anything else. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Stewart plays her character incredibly well, and is definitely one of the best things about this movie. Contrary to other viewers, I thought the acting in this film was very solid, and the amount of action was perfect, and also a really consistent plot line. It's not oscar winning that is for sure, and if you're in a mood for a serious, emotional action / thriller that has the same tone as the previous charlie's angels this is not the film for you. However, for a causal viewing of a genuinely funny and exciting action film, this is a really good shot. I can't speak for all the other reviewers, but I would definitely recommend this film. Sure it's cheesy at times, but having women as the protagonists makes absolutely no difference to the plot line, and I thought it was just as good, if not better than the previous 'Charlie's Angels.'
