Anyone see Taboo last night? Seems like good inspiration for this board.

The trailers didn't draw me in and unlike the Mrs., Tom Hardy doesn't get my pulse racing, but I watched it and really enjoyed it. The premise is good and I will definitely watch the next one.

I thought it was bloody brilliant, proper grim and moody (and I dont mean Hardy!).

Really looking forward to watching the rest but will probably record them all and watch them all together once the series has finished. A much better way to watch things, I reckon.

 lol lol

I have read the book and wondered the same.
And that is a very short book!

If I watch an episode a week of a series I have trouble remembering evrything, so prefer to do them all at once.
Not in one sitting, though!

And grunting, don't forget the grunting, and the barely audible voice. lol

 It looked great, I am hooked and can't wait to see how the story will unfold. :)

I watched it and I must admit that I'm hooked already. Episode 1 showed a lot of potential.

Just watched the trailer which looks very promising  :)

Just wonder if it is somehow possible to watch the series from outside the uk  :?

Grunting, mumbling, brooding, whispering - all prevalent in TV and film nowadays. Used to drive me mad but since I've learned to unashamedly use subtitles, suddenly everything is fine.....

What do the subtitles say?

'Mumble, mumble, grumble, grrr.....'
