Wasn't a big fan of episode 1. Felt too slow and hammy, despite some great performances. Hope it improves - anyone seen episode 2 and can give their impressions?

Not seen ep 3 yet but what's even going on in this show? It seems like one of the biggest vanity projects of recent years.

Yeah, the third episode was an improvement but I'm still finding it too slow and self-serious overall, with no reason to really care about what happens next. drat pretty though

Well, its concept vs execution, right? While I agree that laying out everything in the show makes it SOUND really engaging, I don't feel the storylines are progressing in any kind of interesting way yet. Scenes are mostly 1. the company scheming and bitching about Delaney in an office 2. Delaney scheming and bitching about the company somewhere near a river and 3. bizarre voodoo stuff that is intriguing but doesn't yet have enough context to make for truly effective scenes. Compare it to Peaky Blinders by the same writer. Just as smart but far more interesting and exciting with characters you care about immediately. It's also a little confusing to me that I'm seeing so many here and on places like AV Club acting like this show is insanely smart and deep compared to everything else on television. I'm not saying it's stupid, but it really doesn't seem to have much more to say than most dramas of its kind, and the thematic depth doesn't seem to be.....well, that deep, I suppose. Mostly it seems to be getting by on mood, acting and visuals rather than specifically extremely intelligent storytelling. What exactly do you think makes it "a show for people who read?" compared to others? Westworld being the example you gave especially, like arguably that has more to say about consciousness and whatnot than this has to say about.....that the East India Company were bad.

^^^^ what's great about this troll attempt is it involves the troll being dim enough to assume my avatar is totally genuine and based on love and fandomRocksicles posted:You're comparing apple and oranges, wardrobe notwithstanding. I'm just responding to what people have been saying. I've seen the "taboo is WAY more intelligent than STUPID WESTWORLD" quote way too much already. Pedro De Heredia posted:Saying complaints about this show are from people who want 'robot orgies' and 'machine guns' and then listing the positives of the show as 'ghosts' and 'cannibals' is completely ridiculous too. hahahahaha

Just watching the latest episode now and man the voodoo gently caress scene with his sister was unbearably ridiculous. I like this show and all but I still don't get why it's talked about like it's high art that the peons couldn't get when it spends most of its time being some of the campiest TV I've seen in years. e: hahahah @ piss collection Escobarbarian fucked around with this message at 18:54 on Feb 4, 2017 |

Episode 6 was possibly my favourite so far! Pretty pumped to see where all-out war leads.

Pretty crap episode with a great ending line imo. They even made torture boring.

I do quite like how all the "nah man this show is really smart and so much happens in each episode!!!!!" people have gradually died down (both on here and in AV Club comments) the longer this show goes on.

Good cast/pretty scenery and I had faith it would pick up and then when it blatantly wasn't going to pick up I was already halfway through so it was like gently caress it.
