Tour2ma Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Series hooked me like a mofo right out of the gate and 2nd episode only set the hook deeper. It's a little reminiscent of Deadwood, but set in London... and with hints of black magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Oh, that sounds pretty damn awesome. I hope I can find it on Netflix or Hulu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 If Tom Hardy is in it I'm sure it's good. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted January 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Did I mention semi-incest? Between Tom and the former Mrs. Robb Stark, late of GoT's red-wedding? Three episodes in and the fog is just beginning to lift. This one grabs you by the balls and the brain... And you don't have to wait... http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/full-episodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westside Steve Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Good call Tour. Just finished episode 3 of Taboo. Pretty fascinating stuff. I was a little concerned by the fact it was a BBC show which usually lack production values and tend to be boring in my experience. Glad to see that isn't the case here.

Tour2ma Posted April 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Final review? Hopes for Season 2? (which I did not see coming until very late...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Final review? Hopes for Season 2? (which I did not see coming until very late...)Yes I really liked it, although I thought Tom's character was almost too unlikeable for empathy. Of course that goes for just about everybody in the show. I also thought the voo doo was forced.I don't know what BBC take is on doing sequel after sequel but going to the new world certainly opens the door to a whole new storyline. Still even after my couple misgivings I thought it was a fine series. BBC has another period piece called Poldark which I may or may not roll the dice on.

Tour2ma Posted April 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 I hear you... not without flaws, but still great. For my part I thought Hardy was dark and distant enough to not be that likable, but he was a tad too omniscient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
