Greetings everyone!
It's been a while since I looked at a piece of media and discussed it's history, Having recently binge-watched 'Our Flag Means Death' I thought it was high time I did it again!
I state this in the video, but just in case you haven't gotten that far yet: ultimately whether this show is historically accurate (or not) is irrelevant as its just a solid piece of media with a great story. But it is still fun to discuss the work that went into adapting this period of history!
