Taboo - thatguy - 04-02-2026
This 2017 series is now on all the free w/ads streamers: Tubi, Plex, PlutoTV. it might even be on Kanopy w/o ads (which would be much better). I've had this on my watch list for probably 5-6 years, but never got around to it and watched it on Tubi. It's a period drama: early 1800's England (dirty Londoners, lots of mud and muck). Only 8 episodes. Good cast, good writing/acting. Lots of intrigue and plot twists.
The story begins with a funeral of a Mr. Delaney. During the service, the long lost, thought dead son (Tom Hardy) enters and throws a wrench into the entire estate transfer. The late Delaney senior owned what is now Vancouver and the adjacent coast, by way of treaty with the natives. Everybody wants it. The East India Co, the Brits, the Americans. Hilarity ensues.
This is a Ridley Scott production, and I've been on/off about some of the others (eg: Prometheus), but this was very good. Very Masterpiece Theater.
Really recommended.
