Taboo (1 Viewer)

Me too . . . . I have thought that Eva Green would be good opposite Tom Hardy in this . . . .
:smile2: Mike
 
Of course I'm enjoying it, Hardy' character is pretty dark, I suspect born of an indian witch Mom, educated in African black arts and a 2 ton lump on his shoulder. But Hollywood has a way of making that all very understandable if not innocent. Love the gruby, ugly, cinematogrophy of the era.
The story has covered the full realm of the world and could go any direction America, British Columbia, France, China, Africa?. With quality production supplied by Ridley Scott productions the skys the limit?!

The main character sure does a lot of walking about with an "ominous gait." This show has the feel of Penny Dreadful meets Black Sails.

Doug...as Mike said about Eva Green...the London locale on Taboo is reminiscent of and lends to the cast of Penny Dreadful's characters...dark...dreary...ominous...

by the way...Black Sails started this week...the first episode was entertaining...score one for the British army...

somebody clear something up for me...the giant assassin sent by the Americans to kill Delaney...was he the same guy in the prison?

also was that his little brother that watched the fight from the window?
 
I've finally caught up with all the recent episodes. Really like the atmosphere and dark moodiness of the show and characters (and they have realistic bad teeth from that era instead of pearly white bleached Hollywood teeth). Not so much the African mysticism or whatever is going on with the half-sister. Is the same actor who played Al Capone from Boardwalk Empire in this show? He looks familiar. I like him.
 
yes "al capone" is the guy that Delaney keeps meeting with, with the tatoos on his head.
 
Seems like Delaney has the whole underside of the docks on the take, helps if you have a bag of diamonds!!
Hope this isn't just a one year series.

James is a decidedly unhealthy individual to hang around with. Only 2 episodes left. -- Al
 
I thought last night's episode was the best one so far . . .
:smile2: Mike
 
One episode left. James took a beating in last night's episode. Lots of stuff to tie up in the last episode. --Al
 
James Keziah Delaney seems to always be one step ahead of them...
his master plan always seems to outwit all the efforts and plans of the King and East India Trading Company...
will be sad to see it end next week...
but have enjoyed Tom Hardy's character immensely...

I have watched Revenant twice now...
which he won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor...
and it's still hard for me to recognize him as Fitzgerald...

one thing I enjoy about the show...
the time format for each episode is usually about 1 1/2 hours...
normally an hour show with commercials...
only give you about 40 minutes of show...

the episodes of Taboo give you a solid hour of viewing...
 
Gonna miss James stalking the streets of London in that odd hat and that flowing, black coat... -- Al
 
I'm 3 episodes behind but I will catch up this weekend/Good show,something different.

WOW! Episode 8, the season finale tonight, was the best of all of them . . . What a great conclusion to a great production . . . James Delaney is the puppet master . . . Looking forward to season 2 . . .
:smile2: Mike
 
The Honourable East India Company didn't fare too well against James. Great episode. Can only hope there are more to follow. I enjoyed the season and one of the reasons was the dark atmosphere and the entirely grubby streets of London. Now, on to the grubby streets of 19th century America, if that's where they are headed. -- Al

For those that also follow Game of Thrones, they recognized the actor who played the head of the East India Company. The High Priest of the Sparrows met his maker once again . . . Mike
