What was the smallest thing you saw? : Human Kindness.
Taboo is a UK tv series starring Tom Hardy, Jonathan Pryce, Oona Chaplin, Jessie Buckley and others. Directed by Anders Engström and Kristoffer Nyholm, while Tom himself and his brother Chips Hardy performed the screen writing with some great excellence of cinematography from Mark patten.
Plot:
James Keziah Delaney returns to 1814 London after 10 years in Africa to discover that he has been left with a peculiar legacy by his father.Dumped in mysterious consequences, Delaney finds himself in a face-off against the East India Company, whilst playing a dangerous game between two warring nations, Britain and America.
Thoughts:
Taboo,like the title goes,is expectedly dark, witty,grippingly political and beautifully ugly. I reckon the ones reading this,might not be aware of this tv series amidst having Tom Hardy on lead and with other such amazing cast. Though, this series was like real hard to find to watch until I realized it's streaming on fx and BBC iplayer which need both subscriptions and vpn to stream. But lucky enough, after searching much in depth, I found it on telegram and I must say it was worth all the way. Never been familiar with Tom Hardy's dark roles to such an extent which is terrifying and surprising at the same time and I believe it's his best till now and this needs serious recognition. The Story is just spellbound along equally dedicated cinematography sniffing a lot of dark tales behind characters and places, it's just that cinematography done here is inevitably attention worthy.There are total of 8 episodes completing to season one and I'd say for the first five episode it lacked proper pacing and the story build up within those five episodes was slow and dull perhaps a partial revelation of both the characters and plot like in ride to foggy path. But it eventually started to make sense with coming episodes towards the end making my eyeballs glued to screen and becoming debauch. The musical score wasn't much noticeable and was convincing for seeming gloomy enough.Conclusion was definitely a cliffhanger so there will be season 2 coming up.
Must watch!
My ratings: 4.5/5

Serie recuperata disponibile su @netflixit.
Non ne conoscevo neanche l'esistenza, e spinto dalla curiosità l'ho vista.
E dico MA MENO MALE!!!!
La cosa più bella che ho visto negli ultimi tempi....
@tomhardy, protagonista assoluto! La sua presenza si vede, e si sente, mettendo in ombra tutti gli altri, seppur sono attori di tutto rispetto, rendendo bene i loro i personaggi.
La trama, non brilla per originalità ( un uomo solo che combatte contro i Grandi e i Potenti) è ben scritta, soprattutto gli ultimi due episodi, che con con un cambio di ritmo e dei colpi di scena creati ad hoc sorprendono lo spettatore.
Molti, anzi, tanti sono ancora i punti non spiegati, ma il finale aperto, e la 2° stagione già confermata, mi fanno ben sperare di trovare le risposte ai tanti interrogativi lasciati in sospeso.
In conclusione: un drama assolutamente riuscito, con una storia intensa e coinvolgente. @tomhardy è assolutamente perfetto! Una serie IMPERDIBILE.
A è piaciuto davvero tanto è a voi????
