I watched this series when it first premiered in the US. Have have lost count as to how many times I have 'binged the series since. Each time I watch it, I hear something new that I missed previously. They're clues, subtle and intriguing as to where they lead one to what and/or whom it pertains to. I am extremely critical of Hollywood writers these days, dull, unimaginative, and seemingly have a not so secret motive to kill off the movies and tv series in which they write. But Taboo's writers have restored my faith in their ability to keep the viewers/fans anticipating the next episode. The actors/actresses are most effective and show truly compeling talent to carry out the storylines. Even the children in this series have some talent to perform their roles. I highly recommend folks binge watch this series, or make a weekly date to watch the each episode amongst friends. I await with baited breath to watch season 2. I particularly like how Tom Hardy's character gives to the less fortunate, yet despises the hypocrisy of nobility. Its about time we have some really great shows.

Keeps you wanting more! The devil Delaney is the greatest character! Cannot wait to see more!!

This is a show which doesn't have a strong story, makes big promises at the beginning and lives you at the end with: "That was it?" The main character played by Hardy is a mysterious guy, with a mysterious past, who sometimes acts like a super hero and sometimes like a pathetic fool. Most of the scenes are somehow showing how really cool and bad-ass the main character is. The voodoo element turns out to be an empty promise, some naughty stuff which are just cheap and dumb, and nothing about the complexities of colonial Britain. It'll take a season for you to wait for nothing interesting to happen.

I haven't been so mesmerized by someone's acting,since James Dean. Tom Hardy is the best actor of his generation. He always gives me chills with every move, glance and every sound he makes. The story is something new,unusual and brilliant. Definitely not the same story repeating itself as in other TV series. If you really know about good TV series, then you just found the best one.
