Rhys talking about Stede and Ed

What do you think it is specifically about the Stede and Ed relationship that just resonates so much with so many different people? You've got two guys who don't really know who they are in terms of who they should love and what love is to them. And a guy who takes a ridiculous risk, leaves his wife and kids to go and become a pirate, but is still very, very fancy and is from a background that is hard to get out of. So he can't really change, but he needs someone who is basically the opposite to be able to change him. And that person, which if you look at Blackbeard, he's got a very deep and dark background as well, and he's looking for the opposite to change himself and they meet in the middle. And I think that's why it's so special.ALT
And I think there's some really resonating aspects to it with people who don't have confidence or aren't in the right group, don't fit in, things like that. Everything that resonates for the LGBTQ community. And I think, on top of that, you've just got this beautifully made show and there's no queerbaiting. We go all the way. This turns into a romance between two men and I think it just ticks the boxes for everybody. And the fandom online proves that this is what people want. And it feels good to be delivering that. When we were making it, of course, I didn't know. I knew what we were doing and I wanted to do my best job at doing it. But I had no idea how much love was going to be given. So yeah, I feel really, really proud.ALT
