no- i wanted too but read it was really confusing the first 4 episodes, so i bailed. plus i already watch enough aimless crap, i don't need a confusing show to add on top of it.
I like it a lot. It has elements of history (the East India Company); it's dark, violent, elements of mysticism...
It's fairly intricate. It revolves around a plot of land - Nootka Island (off the coast of the U.S./Canada) - that Tom Hardy's father purchased while he was a member of the powerful East India Company. His father dies, leaving Hardy as the heir; but the EIC wants the land (it offers a lucrative trade route to China), the monarchy and the US want it (this is during the War of 1812)...so there are spies, secret alliances, double-dealings. There are inter-personal relationships (a half-sister Hardy has an incestuous relationship with; a secret wife of Hardy's father - a stage actress who might have married him when he was in the throes of senility); A sub-plot about an illegal slave ship run by the EIC; Some shamanism/mysticism (Hardy's mother was an Indian kidnapped by his father from Nootka Island)...
rumors are Taboo star Tom Hardy is the next James Bond, so I don't know how much more of the show will be?
I heard a completely different rumor that Daniel Craig agreed to do the next 2 Bond movies WTF http://myfox8.com/2017/08/20/daniel-craig-confirms-return-as-james-bond/
packers-your link is correct. sorry for the false alarm. after the last movie, he was all pissy about the time off in between movies and the physical demands of it. we had a lengthy talk about it on here. he was all about finished with the franchise, but after reading your link has had a change of heart. i do like craig as bond, but not big on some of the bond movies. i thought Spectre was very weak. some of the villains he faced have not been strong either. will look forward to Bond 2019 when it comes out.
no worries brother I heard the same stories where he was pissing and moaning too that is why I was surprised to hear him do an about face
my thing was when he was bitching for all the money he was making either quit or suck it up and do it. he was getting like $15-20 for the last movie. others on here didn't feel the same way i did. that's what being a movie star is. grueling long shoots with little off time. when the movie ends is your off time and a fat check to boot. can't have it both ways.
