"Our Flag Means Death," the television series created by David Jenkins, features a blend of historical comedy and pirate adventure. Although the show is set in the 18th century and depicts life at sea, it was primarily filmed on location in various settings that provided authentic backdrops for the story. Most of the series was filmed in and around:
Puerto Rico: The majority of the exterior scenes were shot in Puerto Rico, which offered beautiful coastal views and tropical settings suitable for the show’s pirate theme. The island’s diverse landscapes served as a perfect stand-in for various locations that would fit into the time period and setting of the show.
Cabo Rojo: Specific locations within Puerto Rico, such as Cabo Rojo, were utilized for their picturesque beaches and coastal scenery, enhancing the visual appeal of the series.
- Other Locations: Some scenes may have been filmed in studio settings or different areas that could provide controlled environments for particular scenes or special effects.
The combination of these locations helped to bring the story of Stede Bonnet and his crew to life, creating an engaging visual experience that complements the show’s comedic narrative. If you’re interested in more specific episodes or details, let me know!
