    Series hooked me like a mofo right out of the gate and 2nd episode only set the hook deeper.

    It's a little reminiscent of Deadwood, but set in London... and with hints of black magic.

      Oh, that sounds pretty damn awesome. I hope I can find it on Netflix or Hulu.

        If Tom Hardy is in it I'm sure it's good.

          Did I mention semi-incest? Between Tom and the former Mrs. Robb Stark, late of GoT's red-wedding?

          Three episodes in and the fog is just beginning to lift. This one grabs you by the balls and the brain...

            I watched the first episode. So far interested but not completely hooked.

              Wrapped up Season 1 last week... yup, Season one, not Season one-and-done as I originally thought...

              I loved it.

              Counting the days to season 2

                    Did you get to the part where Dexter's sister is playing Eric Carmen music? And gets chided for it?

                          I just wonder why she denied listening to Eric Carmen.

                            Good call Tour. Just finished episode 3 of Taboo. Pretty fascinating stuff. I was a little concerned by the fact it was a BBC show which usually lack production values and tend to be boring in my experience.

                            Glad to see that isn't the case here.

                                    Yes I really liked it, although I thought Tom's character was almost too unlikeable for empathy. Of course that goes for just about everybody in the show. I also thought the voo doo was forced.

                                    I don't know what BBC take is on doing sequel after sequel but going to the new world certainly opens the door to a whole new storyline.

                                    Still even after my couple misgivings I thought it was a fine series.

                                    BBC has another period piece called Poldark which I may or may not roll the dice on.

                                      I hear you... not without flaws, but still great.

                                      For my part I thought Hardy was dark and distant enough to not be that likable, but he was a tad too omniscient.
