NFT: Taboo: Has anyone been watching?

Canton : 2/9/2017 8:30 pm

It's a slow burn but Tom Hardy's worth the price of admission alone.

Quote:

Executive produced by Ridley Scott, series creator Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders) and Hardy himself, Taboo also stars Stephen Graham (Boardwalk Empire, This is England) and Jonathan Pryce (Game of Thrones). It is set in the 1800s, with Hardy's James Delany returning to London after being presumed dead in Africa only to be embroiled in conspiracy, intrigue and bloodshed.

Yes. It started off great but has gotten pretty slow.

Still very intriguing.

Yes i like it

kind of unique and I love that era. Seems like he'd be dead though from that wound in that era.

it has gotten slow, but i loved the duel, was wondering how that would turn out.

I'm really enjoying it. Very dark.

Quite a fascinating character.

Taboo may have been the first porno I watched.

Other than a reel-to-reel I watched at my friend's house. Oh the memories.

Expected less from reviews but

definitely happy with it so far. Hardy is great.

I like it, some plot development makes for some slow spots

But it will pay dividends later on

Agreed with this.

Hardy is just a great actor

And IMO very under rated.

He's been great. It's not a fast paced show. But that makes the tense moments better.

very weird show

I wouldn't call it great, but it's been clear from the start that they're setting this up for a memorable ending. They've set up the battle of the Crown/Company/U.S. but they've only hinted at what kind of demon Delaney is.

Hardy has played this role so well, can't wait to see how he does when this story escalates.

Haven't caught it yet.

But there is a very similar show Frontier, which is centered on the Hudson Bay Fur trade monopoly, I enjoyed it and cant wait for season 2.

Taboo has broken records on the FX channel

Highest viewed show ever. So it looks like we may get several seasons. I'm all in.
