Taboo: Season One

Great acting and a lot of attention to detail. Interesting story line….looking for more!

Good single season show; violence, sex and witchcraft

Everything is top notch! great acting, amazing sets & locations, interesting storyline! Can't wait for Season 2!

Couldn't stop watching Tom Hardy !! The only issue I see is that season 2 hasn't been filmed. Is there plans to make and release season 2 any time soon ?? Please ASAP!!

A great show! Dark, violent, shocking. Believable costumes and scenery. Too bad only one season.

Everything. The music, cinematography, casting, direction, acting, and writing are all top notch. Tom Hardy’s James Keziah Delaney is terrifyingly trustworthy and unpredictable until he acts, when what he does makes perfect sense when you see it. Jonathan Pryce’s Sir Stuart Strange is terrifyingly ruthless. I could go on and on: Every character is well thought out and played at 100%.

Enjoyable way to spend “Saturday Night at the Movies”.

Shipping was good. Love the movie.

I really hate this show, want to know why. cause I love it and I’m going to be so So mad when it’s done.this has to be my dream show of show’s, never have I seen a show like this in my life.Tom Hardy” was gosh darn stupendous in this fix me another please quick please I can’t take it.but bear with me this is NOT for the faint-of-heart, I warn you. (James Delaney) Hardy is the mean one. Yeah.this series is downright dark an nasty, 1700 hundred was the most vile time to be alive.people are starving an doing everything necessary to survive, like stealing your teeth if it’s gold or sliver.if they find you dead somewhere, but the whore houses always seem to shine. in those days,like when you see the old Jack-the-Ripper movies.there’s one thing i hope don’t happen, is for them to reveal the water scene he keep seeing.I don’t want to know that right now cause I think it would ruing my life for the next fix.an the next fix is coming, just heard they will be starting to film this year 2019. best news ever heard.I’m on the last episode and I don’t want to finish it till I get the next one, but I can’t wait I have to finish.the sole reason I love love this, is the characters. they are so complex an unusual people which makes it enjoyable.not like your cookie cutter you see constantly in movies. I love that so much, gives the series it’s edge.Beautifully Done Series...Gloriously Five Stars.

This is a fantastic show - well written and engaging performances - set in a turbulent time, an era of transition, when England was beginning to lose its grasp on its dominions and the US was an infant republic embroiled in conflict with its former sovereign.It's an interesting time to place a story, during the reign of King George III in the early 1800s, when Queen Victoria's era is the common backdrop for most stories set in England's 1800s. Focusing on the "Honourable" East India Trading Company's role in politics and economics is also an interesting element to the show - showing their influence in matters of state and hinting at their business practices, both official and off-the-books.Tom Hardy plays James Delaney - the son of a recently deceased shipping merchant who left everything in his will to his son. Delaney returns to England after twelve years away in Africa and inherits not only his father's estate and shipping business, but also a portion of land in the Americas that is a point of contention between the US and British governments, as well as the East India Trading Company - they each want the land and their only course of action is to purchase the land from Delaney who is unwilling to sell . . . unless he's dead, then ownership would fall to his more obliging sister and her husband who seek to profit off of selling the land. And herein lies the story of Taboo.Delaney must tread carefully, reforging old alliances with friends and crafty acquaintances while forming new alliances with the very agents who seek to kill him, thus playing each party against the other and even forcing his enemies to protect him from each other's assassins, all while keeping his plans and ultimate goal to himself.Tom Hardy's Delaney is an incredibly cunning character. Mad in every sense of the word.There are many fantastic twists over the course of the eight episodes, and they keep coming until the very end. Lots of who's working for who? and what is his plan? and how will he get out of this?The supporting cast, which includes the excellent Stephen Graham, Oona Chaplin, Jonathan Pryce, and a sundry list of British (and 1 American) actors are all top notch. Some truly great characters who enhance the setting with their appearance and enhance the societal backdrop with their manners and motivations.The show is brutal in its depiction of England at this time - that is to say straight-forward, absent a sugary coating - and taut with suspense and tension. It peers into various aspects of the criminal, corporate, and societal underworlds, as well as the mad underworld of one's mind.I have much respect and appreciation for the execution of this show. It could easily have been filled with women showing off their breasts or scampering around completely naked, gratuitous sex scenes that serve little purpose but to do it because they can; it could have gone for the gore factor and showed men's stomachs getting cut open and their intestines spilling out; and it could have focused on the action and let the story stand a step behind the gunshots and brawls, but it didn't. I don't think there's a single exposed breast in the eight episodes, there are a few scenes of gore, but it's the aftermath and it's to nail home the point - nothing's shown during the act; no "Rob Zombie moments". Furthermore, the action is minimal - some fights here and there. Before the final episode, I think around five or six pistols are fired and only two or three of them result in death, while the others are either warning shots or they miss their target. Yet the action is excellent in its execution.Ultimately, it's a show about characters, about plots and schemes and the consequences to them. A show about the madness of greed. And it's damn good.

Excellent show. Best role I've seen by Tom Hardy. Not a good guy as such but an excellent character. I hope there will be a season 2. Really great story and very well done with lots of great actors.

Great show, it's definitely one of my new favourites.However, I wish the blu-ray case that the discs come in had more space or a plastic page inserted to hold the discs. Instead they just crammed two discs on top of each other per holder spot.

Buena serie. La adquirí en región 1 por lo que no hay subtítulos en español pero poniéndolos en inglés se hace bastante comprensible. Tom Hardy es garantía.
