Taboo

2017 | Drama

Set in 1814, Taboo follows James Keziah Delaney, a man who has been to the ends of the earth and comes back irrevocably changed. Believed to be long dead, he returns home to London from Africa to inherit what is left of his father's shipping empire and rebuild a life for himself. But his father's legacy is a poisoned chalice, and with enemies lurking in every dark corner, James must navigate increasingly complex territories to avoid his own death sentence. Encircled by conspiracy, murder and betrayal, a dark family mystery unfolds in a combustible tale of love and treachery.

Taboo is created by Steven Knight with Tom Hardy and Chips Hardy, who is also the show’s consulting producer. Executive producers are Ridley Scott and Kate Crowe for Scott Free, Tom Hardy and Dean Baker for Hardy Son & Baker, and Steven Knight, with Timothy Bricknell producing. Taboo is directed by Kristoffer Nyholm (Eps. 1-4) and Anders Engström (Eps. 5-8), and reunites Hardy and Knight for their third collaboration following Locke and Peaky Blinders.

In Darkness
Taboo is Tom Hardy's playground. Here he gets to explore the darkness inside him and play it out in character and of course he's excellent at it and completely compelling.

This is brilliantly directed and produced and attractive in the way we like to watch murder scenes in violent films. I can't wait for series two

wonderful acting (0 more)
I started watching this series for one reason only Tom Hardy. I kept watching as the story pulls you in. Set in Victorian England pulls my love of history and a bit of the supernatural together. I would highly recommend this series to anyone
