Exclamation TABOO on F/X (Tom Hardy & Ridley Scott!)

I was already quite interested in this new show when I saw teaser ads months ago during 'The Strain'. Now after seeing this exclusive BBC trailer, it looks absolutely bonkers! I can't wait. Tom Hardy is definitely among my favorite actors today. This is easily one of my most anticipated TV shows of 2017!



Quote:
Set in 1814, Taboo follows James Keziah Delaney, a man who has been to the ends of the earth and comes back irrevocably changed. Believed to be long dead, he returns home to London from Africa to inherit what is left of his father’s shipping empire and rebuild a life for himself. But his father’s legacy is a poisoned chalice, and with enemies lurking in every dark corner, James must navigate increasingly complex territories to avoid his own death sentence. Encircled by conspiracy, murder, and betrayal, a dark family mystery unfolds in a combustible tale of love and treachery.

Looks awesome. I LOVE Peaky Blinders and it looks like this is the same creator.

Peaky Blinders rocks! But does Tom Hardy ever play a semi-normal character? I can never seem to understand much of what he says......

If you like Pinky Blinder you might like "The Knick" http://www.cinemax.com/the-knick/

My DVR is set.
Watched the finale of "Peaky Blinders" season 3 last night. What a let down!!!
Especially after the great season finale of season 2.

Also: Looking forward to "Star Trek - Discovery" in May, CBS

I was looking forward to this as well but thought it was "ok" at best. I will give it one more try and probably bail if it doesnt get better. I will admit the last 5 minutes were a big improvement over the first 30 or so.

I haven't seen it yet but I thought Peaky Blinders was just "ok" after the first episode but by the second or third I was totally in. Great show.

I can already tell that it will "ramp up" real quick. Last night simply introduced us to the story of what's at stake and the characters.
Knowing Ridley Scott, there will be much more coming...

So 3 episodes in and I am still entertained and believe the best is yet to come. There is a nice building up going on with several aspects of the show.
How you all feeling about it?

Watched 2 of 3 so far. Had to catch up with Morgan and the Search for God last night or I would have watched the 3rd. Still having some issues with understanding some of the accents, even with TV turned up to 37. They keep warning (teasing) about nudity, but al I've seen so far is the naked asses in his office.

Very true! I began watching with captions on! Definitely would have not been able to understand the very heavy accents with some of the dialogue.
I too think the MA rating is a tad high thus far.

I am still watching and agree it is getting a little better. I am also watching Peaky Blinders and noticed the guy on Taboo is in Peaky Blinders.

Speaking of Peaky Blinders and heavy accents. Holy crap, sometimes I literally cannot understand what they said. A bit annoying at times but I guess it gives it more of a sense of "reality".....captions...
