Taboo is about adventurer James Keziah Delaney (Tom Hardy), who most think is dead, returns home to inherit his father's shipping empire in 1814 London and also seek vengeance for his father's death. He encounters numerous enemies while he tries to build his company against the monopoly that is East India Company. Hardy is one of the best actors on the planet...period. Besides maybe Leonardo DiCaprio he's my favorite actor and one of the handful of actors where I'd watch the movie/show knowing nothing more than that they're in it. Taboo is another in a long line of great performances for Hardy. The show is thrilling from start to their are rumors that they plan on making another season. I hope that's true.

Its so original that we need the second season ASAP PLZZZZ

As my title has indicated, Tom Hardy's "Taboo" is a beautiful slow burn, as the story builds through each episode I was hooked on how Hardy's character would react to certain situations and was never left disappointed, without spoiling the story itself there are some wonderfully tense and sad moment's throughout. The cast were amazing throughout the whole show, the story so gripping, the sets were down right amazing and overall production couldn't have been better! I can't wait for a second season to see what will happen next.

Imagine a man with the shaman-like charisma and borderline madness of Jim Morrison (at least as he was depicted in Oliver Stone's film 'The Doors') but equipped with the vicious fighting skills of Wolverine. Add to that the intellect and strategic talents of Francis Underwood from 'House of Cards' as well as a - very large - dose of trauma induced mental problems (especially mother issues; well: some sister issues as well) – and you've almost got James Keziah Delaney (Tom Hardy), the central character of the new show 'Taboo'. And let me tell you: he just so happens to be one of the most compelling and original protagonists I've seen in a TV-show since Ian McShane blessed us with the character of Al Swearengen in 'Deadwood' (ok, there was that other guy from that cooking show, you know: 'Baking Bread' or something like that - he was pretty singular too).

'Taboo' is certainly not an easy show to describe - it's simply too unique for that - but let me have a go at it anyway. As with all my reviews, this is supposed to give you an overall impression of the show, so you won't find any plot details here, although some very minor spoilers are possible. Please bear in mind that I'm a hopeless screen junkie who has long lost the ability to properly use language unless it's in the context of film, so forgive me for constantly referencing other films and TV-shows in order to describe this series. If this grave condition of mine bothers you, you might want to stop reading now.

Still here? OK: imagine the dark, brooding atmosphere of 'True Detective' (I'm talking about the first season, of course) and transfer that mood to the city of London in 1814, at a time when the war between Britain and America is still going on but slowly nearing its end. Now further imagine that time period (candlelit rooms, horse carriages riding over cobblestones, fog rising from the river Thames and creeping through dark streets and busy docks) captured through the breathtakingly beautiful cinematography we usually find in a Ridley Scott film. Are you with me so far? Good. Because now that we've established the tone, mood and look of this show, we can explore the world of James Delaney a little further.

The end of the Anglo-American war is in sight, and as peace negotiations between the warring parties are secretly taking place, there's a third major player involved who is scheming to protect its influence: the East India Company, one of the first - and perhaps most powerful - corporations in history. It's this fascinating time of upheaval and secret battles for power in and around the New World which provides the backdrop for 'Taboo', and the show does an amazing job at transporting the audience to that era. This series features some of the best production design I've ever seen in a show (or a feature film, actually); everything looks lived-in and genuine; whether it be ships, houses, clothes or landscapes; every grimy cobble stone in every dimly lit alley virtually oozes authenticity.

When we first meet Delaney, he makes an entrance worthy of the Count of Monte Cristo. In case you don't know the story, that's the guy who was framed for a crime he didn't commit and then locked away for so long everybody eventually thought he was dead - only to return one day, rich beyond imagination, and with an elaborate plan on how to take revenge on everyone that had wronged him. This theme of a guy returning from the dead with unexplained riches but a mysterious plan on his mind is sort of the starting point for 'Taboo' (but it's only the starting point, so this isn't a spoiler). As we soon find out, Delaney's actually more like the Count of Monte Cristo's disturbed, savage twin, for he does things Edmond Dantes (that's the Count's real name) probably couldn't conceive of in his wildest dreams. Through his return - and by carrying out his plan - Delaney puts himself in the impossible position where he's not only up against the sinister forces of the East India Company, but also against the British Crown as well as the Americans, and it will take all his cunning and every dirty trick and violent skill at his disposal for him to stay alive and protect his interests.

Thanks to Tom Hardy's charismatic screen presence (and great writing), watching Delaney as he plots, threatens, kills, steals and hallucinates his way through this deadly game of chess is a thrilling joy and never less than compelling. Hardy creates the chilling portrait of a man who is haunted by the ghosts of his past; a man who seems to have one foot already firmly rooted in the afterlife and who communicates with the spirits of the dead - yet at the same time he's a relentless force of nature who pursues his goals with unwavering determination. There are many reasons to enjoy 'Taboo': this dark tale of dark passions - and even darker secrets - is beautifully written (by Hardy Sr., Hardy Jr. and 'Peaky Blinders' creator Steven Knight); it's gorgeous to look at (it was produced by Ridley Scott and shot by Scott's frequent collaborator Mark Patten), and it features great performances by such prominent British thesps as Jonathan Pryce, David Hayman or Stephen Graham - but make no mistake: this is 100% Hardy's show. The role of Delaney is tailor-made for him, and I honestly can't imagine 'Taboo' working with any other actor.

So to sum up my review: I highly recommend 'Taboo' to every Tom Hardy fan, but anyone who likes their tales dark and twisted and doesn't mind a somewhat deliberate pace (I'm talking to you, 'True Detective' fans) is equally well served - especially fans of original material. Great, unique television: 9 stars out of 10

Tom Hardy is one of the best actors on the planet...period. Besides maybe Leonardo DiCaprio he's my favorite actor and one of the handful of actors where I'd watch the movie/show knowing nothing more than that their in it! Taboo is another great performance for Hardy. It is thrilling from start to finish and can't wait until they finally make Season 2!

I wish this show didn't just stop!l. Bring it back please! This was easily one of my favorite shows ever... not to mention the Tom Hardy eye candy. He is a great and versatile actor.

Finally, a different idea for a show. It exemplifies history with a mysterious twist. There's is no predictability and all of the actors play their roles splendidly. I couldn't wait until the next episode aired. This was before streaming. I ended up buying it so that I could rewatch it all together, without having to wait between episodes. I believe that it was written by Tom Hardy and his father. It was well written and just wish it would continue, so that is a satisfying ending... Or any ending.

The first season of this show is excellently written and directed. Tom Hardy does an outstanding job. The historical material is an educator's dream, but the content is a school teacher's nightmare! Every taboo is broken, and in pre-Victorian England, that's a lot of taboos!

This TV show explores a part of history that is often glossed over. I definitely tried to research a little more about the war of 1812 while watching it. Some quite interesting things happened in that war. The British burned down Washington D.C.!

If I had one critique of this show, it would be that the color scheme is a little monotonous. I think they should take off the 19th century filter.

I definitely am looking forward to the next season. I really hope that the intricate plot development continues and becomes more historically interesting. It will be difficult, however, to live up to this outstanding first season. Please, give it a watch! Though not with children -

Obviously it's not hard to see why, with Tom Hardy leading...

This show is so amazing it's hard to find the words. It's like one huge elaborate puzzle, and only Tom Hardy knows the way to the finish. And we all just get to sit back and watch him take us there. Though I don't want to diminish any of the other actors, as literally each one of them are all doing a very superb job. Taboo literally has the best all around acting in a television show that I've ever seen. At the end of every episode, it is unbearable to think that I have to wait another week to see what happens next.

The time period for this show, for me personally, sets the entire mood. It REALLY gives off a sort of Old London, Jack the Ripper feel while watching it. I'm not sure how else to describe the mood of the show, but that feels right.

Tom Hardy's character commands the screen. When he's on, you don't want to miss a single word or grunt. Taboo also has some great dark humor to release stress build-up at crucial times.

I apologize if I'm being vague, but I don't want to spoil a single thing. If you are looking for a show to watch, look no further.

It's seven years since this compelling drama graced the screens of the BBC and U. K. television. Since then the series has be broadcast world-wide, screened on Netflix and countless other platforms, gaining countless fans and plaudits, however (at the time of writing 2014) we still wait for a second series. Other less worthy costume dramas (e.g. Sanditon) spawned even worse sequels than the original, but with such a stellar cast and talent behind this production, Taboo deserves more. I gather much of the funding for Taboo came from Tom Hardy himself (and costume dramas ain't cheap).

Let's just pray that a second series will one day be made - it will be well worth the wait.

Excellent!

Without revealing to much I just want to say this: Acting is very entertaining and believable. Story is surprising and keeps you on your toes. It's definitely not for the faint of hart, seeing there's some blood and gore. The series is called Taboo and this really comes alive thanks to some good acting from Tom Hardy and Oona Chaplin.

And last but not least it's got ASS (Action, Suspense and a Strong story)!!

There's nothing more to say, just watch it and be pleasantly surprised. I was!

Ok, let's get a few things out of the way. Tom Hardy is as fierce, committed and compulsively watchable as ever. If you're a fan, you get what you expect. Jessie Buckley, though lesser known, has a zesty charm and intelligence wherever she goes, and the same is true here. She's a highlight in a show that could otherwise have defaulted on cliched female characters. Set design and cinematography is decadent, dark and high budget... like a deeply sinister Dickens adaptation meets Black Sails from hell. Truly awesome. Sometimes passages of dialogue have the trademark Stephen Knight superiority... if you're ever going to be stuck in an elevator or on an island with someone, any one of his characters would be a fine choice.

On the other hand, Taboo suffers irrevocably from intensely bad pacing, among other things. The first two episodes establish only the bare external minimum, and are much more dependent on personality than progress. Still, without this initial momentum of progress character suffers too, even as plotting eventually picks up after about 4 eps and James vs. The East India Company gains twists and turns and little reveals. Hardy's character is distinctive, but only in distant shades and biting one liners. What he wants and why can be told by the external, as later on various action-y clever plots unfold to his ends, but going forth he remains oddly opaque even as the script attempts flashes of spiritual/ mystical perspectives on his part. At this point it is very difficult to buy into him a genuine mystic in any way. He just seems insane and his connection to the mysterious mother transient rather than profound. Is that the point? I don't know. However, he is not nearly the closed book that the sister/ former lover is. This character and her portrayal is so insistently cold and confounding, that even by the end it is unclear what went on here, and who wanted what out of this particularly odd connection. If you are thinking Lannister siblings, you certainly aren't going to get that here. The siblings here have an intensity that is manufactured, rather than built from narrative building blocks. I still have no idea how she fit into the story, or his motives. Or if she even harbored genuine motives of her own.

The character of James also has an opportunity to connect with an audience via his estranged young son, who he now intersects with for the purpose of this story. Yet the two continue to have the dynamic of a boss and a young employee played by an extra and it is too easy to forget that the son exists. This puzzled me the most. Even absence of interaction itself could make a big part of story. This subplot could have been the heart of the story, and I hope there are plans to make this such in the future. The dynamic with the step mom came closer, and by the last two episodes that FINALLY picked up the pace, was a highlight. She stands to force James to become easier to understand as a character. Characters like Godfrey the drag queen and Atticus the clever, rough sidekick eventually played well into forming a bit of a "tribe" for James... but too little too late. Again, pacing is the death knell here. I'm still not sure what I think about the outrageously over the top royal and all the scenes he took up. I appreciate that humor was attempted here, regardless of how dark, but I'm not watching because I want more of this guy.

Ultimately, the impression is that Taboo is cool and has a sharp, esoteric tone, but that no one has thought about a deeper purpose aside from Tom Hardy outdoing some old white guys over some land. That stuff is needed, but should be secondary, or you are forced to redo the essence of your character each time you put him against a brand new nemesis or in a new context. He will sound and look the same, and be as clever as always, but his arc will be unmoved and he will lack a theme for true motive from season to season. People may argue with me but in passages (and to a much smaller degree) I feel like Peaky Blinders, Knight's other and hugely lauded show has the same problem, at least with its main character (not so much the secondary scene stealers who have no matching counterparts in Taboo). You're better off just watching that one. There is less to scratch your head over. And if you already have, then I recommend passing on Taboo unless you're ready to watch one show's problems greatly compounded, not improved upon, in another.

Apparently Tom Hardy lost a few million on this one. I find it hard to believe. Perhaps the person who did the calculations only took into account how the show did on its mother channel on TV in the UK. But that's just the beginning of its story, I would say, because there is streaming and DVDs and foreign sales... A lot of people prefer to stream stuff because it's more convenient. A fixed TV time isn't always a good time to watch something. I'm pretty sure Hardy knew what he was doing, and anyway, it's just not freakin' possible that this show isn't gonna do amazingly well around the world. NO WAY.

It's a period show and not everyone is into those, but if you are, man, what a story. I have so much respect for Tom for being a great actor who just can't make a bad movie - and now he also created 'Taboo'? What a talent this guy has! You gotta love his approach to acting and storytelling and you can see he is only after the best quality in everything he does. 'Taboo' is yet another example of this.

The story line is very intriguing, it's cooking slowly but keeps you hooked, and all the characters are great and very colourful. There is so much attention to detail here, especially when it comes to historical accuracy, but not only that. It's easy to watch a show and say 'it's amazing', but take the time to stop and think about how much work went into designing this, and into the filming. It's not just the clothes and the places and mannerisms, etc., but the many different characters too, each of whom has their own story and personality. And then there's the whole main story and the many twists and turns, with James Delaney always being on top of things, always having an ace up his sleeve. How does one simply write such a show 'just like that'? We watch it and enjoy it, but the work - the work! Think about it every step of the way and you will truly be amazed at what Hardy achieved here. You'll see a perfectionist behind every frame.

I like all the actors playing all the different parts, they make it seem like this is happening for real. It's uncanny. And of course, Tom Hardy himself, the cursed James Delaney, who you know is a very bad man but you still want him to succeed. Hardy has outdone himself for sure, and hats off to him for always getting better and better, and doing it so easily. You can't take your eyes off the screen watching this. You just can't.

I wonder why there are only 8 episodes in this season. I was expecting something around 20 because this became my new favorite show. Now it looks like there might not even be season 2? If there's a petition to keep this show alive, just tell me where to put my signature. I'll sign with both hands and feet.

The first three episodes…?

Such interesting characters, well acted, great presentation of early 1800's England in all of its power and poverty. But… it could have been a simple story, told with great impact if it kept to the tracks. But by S01E03 its already digging itself into the murk. People come out of nowhere, problems are resolved without logic, sometimes it seems like the whole show is about Hardy striding around in the mud, greatcoat flapping around his legs, scaring the bejesus out of people.

As usual with these episodic productions that live and breath with seasonal renewal, Episode 1 was fantastic, Episode 2 was pretty darn good and Episode 3 was creeping toward filler dialog etc.

Keep it simple, stupid.

Finally I came to see this Gothic gem from the BBC and I am not disappointed - quite the contrary is the case.

In 'Taboo' the set up of the world and the creation of a very dark and at the same time tender atmosphere as well as the nicely arranged spectrum of taboo-motifs (like sexual transgression, the grotesque and strange, overwhelming violence etc.) kept me from being bothered by the fact that I didn't feel one jot more sympathy for its main character than for its antagonists. James K. Delaney is an intriguing mysterious character attracting us in a depraved way. But he is also an individual of extreme moral reprehensibility we eventually cannot go along with.

The series makes very good use of Gothic- and Dark Romanticism writers' style to build up the gloomy atmosphere of a depressed 1814 England still anguished by the loss of the great colony. It is no coincidence when Delaney claims at some point in the series:"The ravens told me". We find lots of Poe here either in theme or characters. Madness wanders through the world of 'Taboo' and at least at the dip of the hem this madness is always caused by the East India Company, the Crown or Delaney. Curiously all the characters except Delaney himself are appearing so vulnerably and fragile that their indulgence (to be helpless and lost in this made up society) arises a counter-part to the unforgiveness of the room they live in.

'Taboo' also declares the downfall of the classic adventure genre. There is no space for nostalgic explorers or discoverers in the plot lines, Delaney is a broken man as he returns from Africa, even if he is not willing to admit this. It's rather a farewell to the exotic, the story takes place after the alleged adventure and mainly stays at the well-known. Interestingly the series manages it to combine some accounts on slavery shifting the story to an international level (not many historic series/ movies do this, they mostly remain in the domestic frame).

Further the actors do a very nice job. Particularly Tom Hardy, Jonathan Price and the reoccurring Mark Gatiss play exceptionally good. However I have to say that there was no huge character development, which I wished to see. The characters are not uni-dimensional, but they do not alter in their facets. The series tries to offset this flaw with new secrets and confessions in every episode pretending these to be a change, whilst it is actually only about the introduction of new information. A very common writing technique, I think.

Overall I can highly recommend 'Taboo', especially for fans of Gothic, Grotesque and the 19th century England.

There can't be a better start to 2017. After the first episode I am sure most of them viewers are hooked. Why won't they? Taboo is a cinematic experience. Everything is so detailed the costumes, the sets, the locations , the music, the characters. You can't expect more from a TV series.

There's nobody else who can play James Delaney better than Tom Hardy. And who wouldn't want to see Tom hardy every Saturday, eh? The guy can deliver some mad roles. Based in 1800s Taboo shows the dark tales of James Delaney the protagonist of the English series. Best part of the series is the mystery and suspense it has orchestrated.

The name says it all and is the best show on TV. So many great lines, "they're my rocks now". The dark and foreboding tone is intoxicating. A mix of history with a poetic twist and family intrigue. Sex, violence, politics, crime, corruption, witchcraft, spies, it is unyielding! The story line defies logic. It is the best written and acted show I have seen in some time. The writing is superb. I am hooked. Hope this gets renewed and not just a one season show. We don't watch primetime and always look for something "smart". This show is just that. It draws you in with the history angle but the back story and the current situation make you root for James Delaney. As his life went awry from the start, his experiences in life have molded him into the person he is today. A man who is completely undone, yet cunning and smart. A planner. A doer. A man who is determined to get what is his at all costs and make others pay. Thank you!

This show is easily some of Tom Hardy's best work.

The first episode grabbed me in the first minute and never let go. The sets and costume/makeup are superb. It's dirty, dank and wonderfully dark. There are just enough supernatural fantasy elements to make it interesting and mysterious, but not so much to be over the top.

The acting is superb, especially Tom Hardy's character. His characteristic grunts and other non verbal communications play so well with his role.

The British East India company is historically intriguing, and lives up to the intrigue in this show. It's interesting to see such a portrayal, one of the primary players in the foundation of modern capitalism as an antagonist in this show.

Very enjoyable show.

Not much on television worth watching nowadays so it is a very pleasant surprise when a series of this caliber comes along. The depiction of 1800s Great Britain in all it's steamy vulgarity and corruption is intriguing and mesmerizing. Ridley Scott and Tom Hardy are at their outstanding best. The production quality and scenery is first rate. The acting throughout is of a rare quality in today's market. Tom Hardy does not disappoint in his character portrayal as the lead character. Mystery, treachery, intrigue and darkness are present in abundance in the first three episodes I have watched thus far. The reach of the East India company with its unscrupulous pursuit of power and wealth by any means has me drawn in. I cannot wait for the next episode! At a time when the majority of television series seem to be filled with political propaganda disguised as entertainment this series stands out. Nothing pc to see here. Excellent!!

It's 1814 London. James Keziah Delaney (Tom Hardy) returns home from Africa to attend his father's funeral. Everybody is shocked since he was presumed long dead. As a son, he is the sole heir taking precedence over his half-sister Zilpha Geary. The main inheritance is a strategic stretch of land on the west coast of the New World. Sir Stuart Strange (Jonathan Pryce) is the Chairman of the all-powerful East India Company, rivaling the power of the Crown. Both are desperate to get that land as Britain negotiates the border with America as the war comes to an end. Actress Lorna Bow (Jessie Buckley) shows up claiming to have married James' father back in Ireland.

This is Tom Hardy at the height of his power. For a moment, he is both the hottest and the most compelling actor around. He could be both the Sexiest and win all the Oscars. He is still a man of intrigue right now. This show is his baby. It's his vision. His inability to get a second series, despite some good reviews, may point to something about his power as a producer. There is no doubt that Tom Hardy infuses James Delaney with his overpowering brooding. He is a man of deep damage and mysterious motives. The presentation of the East India Company is intriguing to say the least. This is high quality prestige television.

I enjoy the dark, gritty period dramas that have been coming out lately. I just wish there was a little more substance to them. This show starts off a little shaky, giving Tom Hardy's character almost mystical properties, but that's because you're supposed to see him that way. The second episode fixes that by explaining that he didn't get his information by mystical means.

My biggest issue is that Delaney's being offered up as this character who went native and abandoned his civilized customs, but of course he only took on the traits that make him seem better to the viewer. Of course he still treated women with courtesy and respect, was a friend to the slaves, protector of children, accepting of gays, and he fought against the evils of his time. If you're going to make your character a "bad man" you can't half ass it.

Sometimes I'll ask people "Do you like Boondock Saints?" as a bit of an insult, I'm betting Stephen Knight really likes Boondock Saints. If you like guys in jackets looking cool, being undefeatable and doing poses, pure machismo, this is right up your alley.

TABOO (2017) is a dark, twisted and at times, violent historical period series. This series delves into the time period of 1812, when England and America were fighting a contentious war. It was also a time when there was bitter fueding between the British Government and powerful The East India Company.

Tom Hardy envisions a very grim figure in his portrayal of the enigmatic and prodigal son James Keziah Delaney, who returns home to England after the mysterious death of his father, and stands to inherit his father's fortune. He plays a shamanistic, mentally-disturbed, world weary soul with a dark past as an ex-slaver, sailor and adventurer. He always seems just barely tethered in the world of the living, and is haunted by spirits and the world of the dead, as well as shadows of the sins of his past. Equally so, he is tormented by taboo desires for his married half-sister, Zilpha Geary, who is played by Oona Chaplin.

"Adventurer James Keziah Delaney returns to London during the War of 1812 to rebuild his late father's shipping empire. However, both the government and his biggest competitor want his inheritance at any cost--even murder."

Among the cast is also the very likeable character of Lorna Bow (played by Jessie Buckley) an actress that gets drawn into the tangled schemes of Delaney, and a rough mercenary type character called Atticus (Stephen Graham) who becomes the right hand man of the growing operation.

Overall, this was a really well made historical fiction series, dark and heavy atmosphere, great costumes, setting and acting. The vibes of this series are really immersive, grimy, gritty, and dark. The plot is pretty straightforward but with a few twists and turns along the way. An excellent series, though I felt it ended too soon.

Don't expect historical facts,at all. Set during the Revolutionary war we are expected to believe the royal navy is being blockaded by Americans with Irish support in the Irish sea, that during the rape of china with opium and a roaring tea trade the head of the east India company (wrong man of course but Mr.Strange sounds SO cool)spends his spare time slave trading.....as an individual. And this is especially lucrative as he scuttles the ship wasting the slave cargo he was willing to risk all for?????

Also, we live in an era in London where lords,ladies and commoners freely mix and the latter rule London...lol. Every tough guy has more tattoos than David Beckham and street urchins wear Gothic eye makeup. the whores and ladies are dressed as Victorians, ball shot is used but blades aren't...so reload racing is how people fight,a bayonet would be far too easy. Except for our hero....he tears out throats with his teeth because he went to Africa....or was it Canada? I guess who cares, right? The main point is he found voodoo in Africanada and eats hearts. he can hear the dead, which is handy if bubbling water and whispering goths are your thing. Our hero comes from money...but talks and dresses like an industrial revolution coal miner from the north...when hes not speaking Canadiafrican voodoo,he might invest in rail t' mine next season!. His father was super wealthy and so is he, although he spent his youth as a cabin boy on slave ships....I'm so lost historically...but if you just forget ALL history and which period you're in and the entire class structure of Britain, its cool. Oh and in the 1700's you could csi your dads corpse...cool huh? and transsexuals, queers and Maoris they call Indians were widely accepted in dockside brothels, by the ever present... hooker with a heart o gold. There is a Victorian chemist and cocaine is widely used by him and his friends from the band 'Flock of Seagulls' although it wasn't invented 'til well after the war that is happening. Perhaps he brought it back in the time machine he uses to bring Victorian chemistry. If you actually sat down and carefully looked over the whole thing it has pretty much no basis in fact...perhaps season 2 will let us in on their whole lack of a time-line...perhaps its Supposed to be Sci Fi. Fun though. 7/10 for shear front. And for being watchable even though its clearly absurd.

Like Peaky Blinders before it Taboo was very much a case of style over substance.

Poor story-line and obscure plot, steam punk costumes and an overall miasma of boredom. Is this really the best that the BBC can come up with?

I have to admit that I persevered to the very end and now have to ask myself why when I could have spent the time in a more fulfilling manner.

One of the best things Im enjoying doing is rewatching things with my fiancé that she has never seen. Taboo popped up and I said "Seen this?" "No." She replied I just smiled and clicked play. I was so happy I can watch it almost like Iv never seen it and yes she was hooked straight away and loves it. I knew she would because this type of cinema is rare and underrated. Revisiting this show is always such a pleasure after a few years. Just to be refreshed with the amazing story telling and acting. Shows like this do not! Come around often. You feel like you are reading a Charles dickens novel. Tom hardy in my opinion delivers one of his most iconic character creations in this show and the fact that he and his dad wrote and created this together makes it even more impressive. The music. The story. The characters and acting it's all 10/10 and my fiancé agrees. I picked a keeper.
