OFMD Season 2 Finale Is About to Get Ruined by Its Too Short Runtime

Needless to say, Max's Our Flag Means Death is one of the most popular comedy shows on air, as the story of a ragtag crew of LGBTQ+ pirates got even better in its second season, raising the quality of the acting, writing and production design to unreachable heights. The second chapter of Stede Bonnet's story has already melted the hearts of thousands of fans, but some of them still have a big problem with the project.

While OFMD has always been marketed as a comedy, fandom felt that the show was much more complex than other projects in the genre and wondered if Max would give it a boost for the second season. However, Max decided against it and the fans are really pissed.

Possible disappointment in the finale

Although the second season of OFMD has received incredible reviews from fans and critics alike, people are a little worried that the upcoming season finale might really drop the ball in terms of comedy, and Max is to blame.

The thing is, each episode of the show is 30 minutes long, just like every other comedy in the streaming giant's library, but fans are sure that OFMD needs hour-long episodes to really blossom. And while Max still stands by his decision to give the second season short episodes, it looks like the fans' reaction to the upcoming finale might change the execs' stance on the matter.

So far, the second installment of the pirate saga has maintained its stellar quality, but considering how many interesting storylines and setups were introduced in the first seven episodes, it looks like the season finale won't be able to deliver on all of them.

With the finale also running 30 minutes, fans are concerned that such a short time frame will leave many storylines feeling incomplete at the end of Season 2, which is unacceptable for a popular show like OFMD.

However, fans' potential disappointment with the Season 2 finale could be easily remedied, as Max quickly revealed that the show will be picked up for Season 3.

Our Flag Means Death Season 2 Episode 8 premieres on Max on October 26, 2023.
