FTA-TV Taboo - Tom Hardy BBC Mini-Series (Starts Sunday Jan 8)

[Marlowe]

Starts next week. Looks hype. I'll watch Tom Hardy in anything, especially when he's playing somebody violent and mad (which, frankly, is almost always)

Had no idea about this. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Marlowe, massive shout out!

Watched episode 1, very good start. Tom Hardy is great and good to see some Game of Thrones actor appearances. Very promising.

Any idea when and how this is being shown in Aus?

Looks like it will be on Foxtel, but I don't think they have a screening date as yet.

Shame really, probably won't get it on FX for a few months.

Ep 1. Thought it was ok without being amazing. Mostly setting up what might be interesting later. Hardy doing his usual "hmmmth" grunt

 

[Elixuh]

First 2 episodes are good, but like sorted said, nothing amazing.

For viewers of Sherlock, did ya'll notice who they have playing the king? I noticed immediately, reminds me of the season 3 ep.

 

[OrdinaryJoel]

I like it. A lot of mystique to it and James seems to be a step ahead of everyone.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Really like it, can never get enough East India Company. Just such an interesting part of history.

 

[bourbons]

3 eps in, yeah its ok I guess, nothing mind blowing.

Slow burn which I don't mind (Boardwalk Empire one of my fav shows), I dunno this seems very dry in addition to being slow. End of episodes seem a bit flat, haven't once felt the need to immediately watch the next one. Hope they explore more of the supernatural angle they've kind of hinted at a few times.

Hardy looks ****ing cool in that hat and coat though

Nothing like a little late night snack after big session on the turps

Quite enjoying this series. Not a Tom Hardy fan but he's been good in this.
