Taboo premiered 1/10/17 on FX but after catching the premier later I decided it warranted it's own thread. Tuesdays, 10pm EST on FX Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9QvSry2-CM From FX's website: "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." While some criticism for the premier argues that the show drags, I felt quite the opposite. The setting of 1814 London really has an opportunity to establish itself as a backdrop for the story. The costuming appears to be right on point for the period to the best of my knowledge as well. Throw in some top notch performers (Tom Hardy, Jonathan Pryce) and I think FX may have another gem on their hands.

I don't think there's a ghost in each episode. While it would be fun to spot them in each episode they'd quickly become a gimmick which I think would diminish the show.

I'm a really big fan of when pompous assholes get their comeuppances in TV/Film so I'm looking forward to the duel.
