Who cares about that, it's Jeff from Coupling (British) as Lead Dude.
(I still find it weird seeing Steve in the Pirates of the Carribean movies.)
I think (based on the pilot episode) it suffers from the TV14 rating. A MA rating and John Malkovich would make for a great series (if he really got into it).

I will watch a couple more episodes and hope the first episode was a character introduction and nothing more.

I think what made it not great for me was that the whole 18th century pirate/British Navy theme felt like only window dressing and at its core it just wants to be like so many contemporary shows you see set in modern times where you have some super smart/capable/everyman action-spy guy go in after the magic McGuffin technology thingy. The setting in this case is just for show and didn't seem to matter much.
Take for example Deadwood, where the setting is everything. ' A wild, anything-goes-mining town struggles to deal with mass change as outside influences (Federal govt and Hearst) seek to take control and reign it in'. Brilliant historical fiction.
So far this felt like Jack Baur starring in Assassin's Creed.

But if you watch a show like TURN they have amazing plots and you feel like the spies are spies and none of them are superman or soloing raid bosses....
