Alright, it has been a while and hopefully, the New Year has been good to you. Tonight is not a Tyrant or The Americans thread, but rather, a new FX show starring Tom Hardy called Taboo. I had caught a few commercials of it, but can't really give a detailed backstory and all things considered, maybe it's better that way.
Tonight's episode is simply titled "Episode 1":
>After 10 years in Africa, James Delaney returns to 1814 London to claim a mysterious legacy left to him by his father.
Also of note in this show is Oona Chaplin, Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter and better known as Robb Stark's wife.
As for a stream, I'm still unclear as to the rules on Sup Forums for streams, but one is around somewhere. In the meantime, you can enjoy Lucy, which was a pretty good, but short movie.
here's a recap of episode 1: nigger loving mystic Bane comes back to England and won't sell his inherited land to some rich and powerful uptight motherfuckers that murdered his father, he also might have fucked Robb Stark's wife who's his sister. That's it.
Liam Howard
Okay, does it show promise as a show or are we gonna get Bastard Executioner'd?
Charles Brooks
eh, the acting and setting and all are ok but there's just nothing much happening at all, I was frankly pissed after an hour that nothing happened, giving it one more episode
David Thomas
That's a fair assessment. Honestly, I thought that this show would've had a thread already. Nonetheless, I hope that more people show up.
Gavin Thomas
there've been several threads already, some say kino, some say boring
Nathan Stewart
The setting has me intrigued, but God Damn it had one hell of a shitty promotional poster.
Brandon White
IT BEGINS!
Mason Wood
Breddy gud so far
Easton Green
>Franka Potente
Haven't seen her since The Bridge. Wonder if this is a one-time deal or she's a regular character?
Lucas Cruz
Not bad, but tell me: Why does he wear the hood?
William Jenkins
The buzz on the first three episodes (which critics have seen) seems to pretty much be unanimous in that production values are great, tone is great, Hardy is great, but it's SLOW. Not in the way that people are phone addict retards with no attention span either, the plot moves in inches in the first three hours.
Alexander Moore
I am ready for some new FX kino also pretty hype for Legion
Ayden Lewis
IT'S FUCKING POSCA
Jace Nelson
This is pretty good so far, and it might be great. Sidenote, as I haven't been paying attention, any news on a new Fargo season?
Lucas Long
shes a madam/whore whos been using a shipyard building that belongs to toms dead dad which she converted into a whore/opium den
Evan Reyes
just started filming, we wont get it till end of the year or maybe next year
Luke Diaz
Excellent. I never mind if it takes longer than usual shows to make, as it's better than rushing things out and getting an underwhelming result. Glad to see they are continuing it.
Bentley Scott
Neat! Until Fargo comes back, I'll give their shows a shot. Did anyone here bother with Atlanta?
Jace Lee
the show is about conspiracy illuminati the birth of america slavery voodoo
Leo Robinson
High Sparrow
Juan Campbell
So that makes two GoT alums in this show now.
Michael Edwards
Oh shit, they used their "Fuck" already, eh?
Bentley Campbell
I think every FX show gets two now. I think American Crime Story had two.
Grayson Nguyen
Don't forget grorious mace
Thomas Williams
we had Atlanta threads here, it was well received by people that gave it a chance but Sup Forums leaks everywhere
Andrew Cooper
The commercials made it seem like it was black people talking about profound shit while high and a single dad trying to do right. Maybe I'll give it a shot at some point.
Joseph Allen
No one else did it yet, so i will...
James?
Josiah Hernandez
>fuckin
what i time to be alive! i like it so far. also, im a sucker for incestuous love
Jason Lee
This show has already been out for days, why do you want to watch the censored Americuck version with commercials?
Sebastian Harris
hes trying to do right but hes a typical lazy millenial looking for a easy way to make money
Nathaniel Johnson
I enjoyed the first episode. But then again how can you not like bane?
Henry Flores
we /voodoo/ now
Chase Sanders
Bump
Brayden Nelson
This pretty good so far. Only one thing missing.pic related.
Christopher Ortiz
Surprised no one ever made a 19th century version of this scene. Things look pretty spot-on so far.
Connor Morales
I like it so far big guy is great.
Alexander Brooks
I love this show.
london in victorian era, tom hardy, incest
I wish Eva Green was involved, victorian era costumes fit her very well
Owen Perez
>dat ass
Holy shit, this show.
Parker Myers
Eva Green would be perfect, how's Penny Dreadful?
Logan Brown
Because I'm a poor smalltowner with no computer
Hunter Sanders
Well that's 2. I wonder if they get per episode now. Honestly it'd be cool, as it is a late night show on a cable network, don't see the need to censor it.
Kayden Mitchell
cancelled kek
Luke Morgan
Over. :(
Ian Bailey
Hardy is actually a great actor and The Take is my personal favorite of his kino.
Gabriel Rogers
>fuckin >suck n fuck >ass
love it
Anthony Carter
Holy fucking shit the writing is fucking amazing.
And the tone is fucking perfect.
I'm calling Kino early on this one boys
Nathan Robinson
ended
Eli Watson
Yeah I actually like him a lot. I've seen a decent amount of his stuff.
but I can not stop admiring him, face aesthetic and this damn deep voice
Alexander Gomez
Has Hardy shown his peen yet?
Andrew Wood
I don't remember her in anything other than Run Lola Run and Bourne movies.
Nathaniel Sanders
>nigger x2
oh snap!
Lucas Williams
It's going to be censored probably since it's FX just look it up you faggot.
Adrian Ward
NIGGER
Camden Allen
Oh we've got treachery!
Andrew Brown
B I G
G U Y
K I N O
Mason Russell
Wtf is happening rn
Isaiah Smith
Big Guy has misgivings about his father dying, so he has the body exhumed and it turns out it was arsenic poisoning.
>Americans back in two months
Perfect. This show will kill time until The Americans comes back. Three good shows on rotation?! FX, you're too good to me.
Logan Foster
This show is too big for me
Jackson Wilson
That was some good acting. Now we know why the land is important and he put those snobby fucks in their place.
Charles Carter
Shiet that was great, hope it catches on and it's definitely interesting.
Going to rewatch it
Adam Collins
Was Oona's face injured in the first scene or was that the embroidery?
Jackson Martinez
tom hardy cannot act. he does the same manlet tough guy grunting wide eyed bane performance in fucking literally everything
Gavin Young
It was kino. Pure chiaroscuro and vibrant reds. I love anything with voodoo and hope they explore it a lot instead of just hinting at it.
Big guy was great and I love steven knight. Peaky blinders was underrated kino.
Levi Thomas
Hey CIA you still mad?
>can't act
Julian Cooper
I have yet to see Peaky Blinders but Hardy is always good.
Jason Stewart
GET THIS HOT HEAD OUT OF HERE
Aaron King
>lawyer mentioned poison >talk to me about poison >father was poisoned
Pottery kino right here we better get all the seasons
Gavin Bennett
As long as we don't get Tyrant'd or Bastard Executioner'd
Colton Carter
Is that you, Dagget? Do you feel in charge or something?
Aaron Barnes
Rate the episode out of 10:
8/10 here.
Xavier Brooks
...
Ian Gray
Watch it senpai. Hardy is in season 2not much though. However cillian murphy and steven knights' writing make the show.
Kayden Barnes
I didn't watch Bastard because it didn't interest me but Tyrant was a tragedy.
We're going to get to reach out to white to get to black with the Mayan series but first 9 would be better.
Ayden Myers
Voodoo bullshit/10
Will watch next week's episode
Austin Cook
it's uncensored in America m8
Connor Sanchez
Two niggers and bunch of asses/10
Rewatching right now definitely tuning in again.
Wyatt Clark
This shows promise, so I hope we don't get the Tyrant treatment. Two great seasons, and an awful 3rd season, which sucks because it was a drama about an area of the world you don't see that often.
Looks like the docket is gonna be crowded for a while.
My secret hope is that we end up with a cache of qts for me to get high-res stuff of.
Xavier Jenkins
It was a veil.
Historical note, not only is she Chaplin's granddaughter, she is the granddaughter of Oona O'Neill, Eugene O'Neill's daughter and the one true love of J.D. Salinger until he went off to war and she ran off with Charlie.
Xavier Wright
That's awesome. Slow burn and everything.
Levi White
I hope some witch crafty voodoo shit goes down in the next episode. I want to see some fights and more ghost shit.
Jonathan Bell
That finale was bullshit and them diamond camels were going to get fucked.
Aaron Richardson
I thought this was a miniseries? Just one season?
Aiden Gray
idk man I like it so make it happen.
Gavin Walker
If it does well, then we'll see how many seasons it becomes.
It probably will. My theories:
>the slaves being caged in were a sacrifice of some kind >there was insurance on the slaves and some shit went down, which allowed him to cash in on it
Ryan Anderson
so its cannibalism right?
Luke Phillips
I wonder how much the incest child will come into play later. I can already see the trading company using him as leverage.
Nathaniel Morris
Probably a major plot point. They pin some crime on him, but the previews make a strong case to keep watching.
Alexander Brooks
what incest child?
Gavin Reed
The one he payed the guy for watching. If you're rewatching, he'll show up in a few.
Eli Watson
The big black slave ghost scared me. But i tried to give him no fear in which to feed him with. He was a big guy.
David Gray
I thought that was just an illegitimate kid of his dads
Dominic Phillips
its highly implied its a child of incest between him and his half sister
Bentley Evans
How so? I watched the whole thing and didnt get that. Was it because of what she says in her letter at the end?
Jayden Robinson
Well its pretty clear it is taboo big guy's son. And it is heavily implied he and his sister were incestuous. Leading to the kid neither of them wanted to take care of. Big guy probably made an excuse that the mother died in childbirth and he wasnt fit to be a father and was to go of with EIC
Christopher Russell
>he was big guy
Subtle, I like it good job user.
Juan Green
their father didnt want the kid sp thats why hes living with those people. tom hardy was sent away to military school because him fucking his half sister and having a kid. maybe the dad was upset cause he wanted his daughter/stepdaughter maybe?
Carter Thomas
Just rewatched the scene, he says "rash like me". I get it now.
