TV: Taboo (FX)

[LoathedVermin72]

Oh my god, why isn't everyone talking about this?

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

[LoathedVermin72]

I do need to watch Peaky Blinders. But I will say about 90% of my interest in this is based on Tom Hardy.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Yeah this looks good

[bada]

I'll give it a try.

[doone]

I'll give it a try.

[Stickman]

First ep was pretty good.

[bada]

Not sure how I feel about this one.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Not sure how I feel about this one.

Yeah I'm on the fence about the first two episodes

[bada]

I prefer historical dramas with Hollywood sanitized dentition. Definitely an area were I pass on realism. All I can think about is bad breath.

[Stickman]

I find the dialogue muddled at times. I'm sticking with it though.

[doone]

I find the dialogue muddled at times. I'm sticking with it though.

Very much this.

[bada]

There's only one actor I can't understand. The one with the map on his head. I rewound one scene twice and gave up.

[bada]

I dropped this. I was struggling though the last episode and realized I don't care if he gets to keep his land and screw his sister.

[jwfocker]

It's beautiful to watch but man the plot is a boring mess.

[Stickman]

I'm still diggin it, with the Royals, EITC and now the Americans into it. Still havin a hard time with dialogue sometimes. The accents are fine but just the audio needs cleanin up.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Tom Hardy is fucking fantastic in this. The problem is, he is so much better than the other actors on this show that it makes them all seem so shitty.

[Stickman]

Well, that was one way to wrap up a storyline; just kill everyone.

[dimejinky99]

I think sexy thoughts about Tom Hardy. A lot.
