    Default Taboo on FX

    Did anyone else catch the premiere?

    I think I have my new favorite show.

    I loved it. I wouldn't say it's my new favorite show, but it was very well made. I love that time period. The show has unbelievable set and costume design.

    Of course, Hardy is the real standout here. The man just oozes intensity. He devours the scenery here.

    It's clear that this show is just a vehicle for Tom Hardy, and I'm absolutely fine with that.

    I love the mixture of gritty, Victoria Era costume design and just under the surface black magic. It's wonderful.

    I thought Locke was a vehicle for Hardy. Get it?

    I haven't read any reviews at all. Simply love the dark gritty atmosphere and several of the characters. I'm watching the UK version though, with much swearing. So the FX version....are they saying "fuck" on TV?

    Indeed they are. The show feels like nothing else on TV. Hardy is mesmerizing. I'm getting really close to just walking around the rest of my life talking like Hardy from Taboo.

    "Hardy is mesmerizing"... that he is. He really is one amazing actor. I love pretty much everything he has done (other than the mess of Child 44). This show is killer and according to Hardy.. is a "slow burn" till all hell breaks lose. Cannot wait!

    Yeah, Child 44 had a ton of potential. I'm not sure what happened there. He's still great in it though.

    Let it be known that I'm not counting This Means War.

    When I was watching Deadwood the second time, for my friends it was their first, we would talk about our work week. Everybody was a sailor. "Fuck this guy, that cunt cut me off, your a cocksucker, etc" It was quite funny. When you truly get sucked in a show you mimic things even as an adult. I truly understand what you are saying about this show. I do enjoy Hardy's dialogue and laugh when I am at work thinking about some of the things he does to people and what he says.

    Did y'all catch the finale last weekend?

    Finally got around to watching it last night. I enjoyed it, even if James' revenge plans suffered a little from the "everything fell perfectly into place at just the right time" syndrome.

    Looking back on the season as a whole, I can't shake the feeling that the creators were intending for Delaney to reach America much sooner, but decided to prolong it to squeeze as much juice out of the Regent/EITC arc as possible.

    I enjoyed it. I had a lot of fun with the show as a whole. I thought it was a one-shot series, but the end leaves it completely open. I'd love to see it come back. It was completely different than anything else on TV.

    I'm really happy they are doing a season 2. Originally, I thought the whole show was a one-shot.

    That was my understanding too. Guess it performed a lot better commercially than they thought so they decided to extend it.
