In her comment, type Television critic Caroline Framke wrote, “One of the most interesting things about ‘Death to Our Flags’ — and if that’s the case — may also appeal to fans who want something more obviously absurd. Disappointment – that in its search for comic treasures it ends up being more mildly introspective than outright funny.” “
