"We Are Americans" Wow, well, it turned out to be a gorgeous finale, I didn't expect it to be so epic - so many murders in one series (with both sides). I did not fully believe that James would still be able to sail. It was clear about the contract with the campaign at the end of the last series, but so that he thought everything over and calculated, sorted out everything (and outsmarted) - that was unexpected. In general, if we sum up the results for the whole season, then the series came out just great, and we are pleased with how the season ended - the departure of a large team to the "new" world - the second season is already in another country, we are waiting for new heroes, new flashbacks, and in general, the development of the storyline. Worried about Lorna and mr. Cholmondeley, it would be too tough to cut out two such characters at once. Well, finally, I repeat once again - Tom Hardy, how cool he is, just watch his character every episode, even just how he walks, mutters something - it's straight top) The series pleased me, I hope the sequel will be even better. and finally, a cool final dialogue with the "American" mediator (I didn't think he was actually for the campaign) "-No one in this city has only one master"; "- I do" 10/10.
Well, I was pleased with how James dealt with Sir Stuart. I immediately remembered Game of Thrones, where the hero Jonathan Pryce (His Holiness) was also [literally] blown up. In general, he is a great actor, it is a pity, of course, that he will no longer be there - what a calm character he has in the IP, and what an impulsive one here (although both there and here are two ambitious characters pursuing their goals)
@kobiii: Yes, the ending is remarkable. I liked the way they sawed off Zilfa, because she was frankly a weak character in the whole story. But what stuck was the way James dumped Brace. I feel very sorry for him, he is completely alone. I hope they won't delay the second season too much.
@totonoto: I think you don't have to worry about Brace. James left him well-off and, judging by his final smile, happy. I'm more worried about the chemist, I would like to see him in the second season.
Well, he came to avenge his father. He did not leave the old man to his fate in the literal sense, he left him to torment his conscience, which in this case is perhaps the most severe punishment.
I'm a little worried that Fox might not extend the series. I want more, especially after such a gorgeous finale. However, the channel is dragging its feet with a solution.
We are americans. That's just a fucking ending, for all the money! As for Zilfa, they obviously didn't show her corpse on purpose in order to leave it open. In any case, I think we will see Una Chaplin again in the second season, at least in the form of a ghost.
The ending is simply amazing! There are so many events in one episode, this is exactly what the season finale was supposed to be! Tom Hardy has once again proved that he is a brilliant actor and just as good on television. I will already mention his hero James Delaney - it's so clever to put all the dots and not mess up anywhere, he was even ready that the crown would come to kill everyone. In general, the Taboo accelerated for a long time and towards the end it began to play with bright colors, if I may say so, since the series itself is quite gloomy and cruel. You can only end with a banal phrase - I'm waiting for the second season). ps. His Sparrow flew up into the air again - his fate is like this)))
Maybe I will express an unpopular opinion, but I was not impressed by the happy ending to the billionth degree. All the villains were punished, the good guys sailed away, well, a couple were shot, of course, otherwise everything was too smooth. The series is good, but it doesn't get into my personal top
@Pushkin87: Well, yes, it came out beautifully, I distributed debts, but not everything is so smooth. The sister is dead, the prostitute is also dead, the "stepmother" is also not very, the chemist is dying, if he has not died yet. Half of the crew has been killed (so it is unlikely that the ship will be able to sail for 2 months to America), the British fleet will chase you, and perhaps, to a heap, the East India Company and the Americans.
@egeliis: There was an interview with the authors sometime around the premiere and they said: "the plot will be finished, but if the series is extended, then we have ideas until the third season inclusive." Well, or so.
Everyone who wanted Delaney dead is punished, except the king (well, I think if there is a second season, they will show us)
There is gunpowder, there is a ship, there is dirt / murders / there is! Everything you need for a good ending. An amazing finale, an amazing series. Nothing superfluous, everything is on the case.
They drew a fine line under the whole season. I thought there would be no meat anymore, but in the end, full hell began. Everyone got what they deserved.
@vomper: in general, it was surprising that American intelligence cooperates with him and does not even know who lives at his house X) Although Lorna did not hide herself in any way and even went to this aunt's ball.
@e_menyaylo: well, if you trust more, then wait for two more episodes, and this is the finale. There are 8 episodes listed on IMDB, and IMDB can definitely be trusted more than any other sites.
What a wonderful mochilovo. Finally, they overwhelmed everyone they could. In the second season, if there is one, we will have almost a new cast. Lorna, my darling, my darling, I'm most worried about you. As far as Zilfa was leaked (both as a character and, perhaps, with the ends), Lorna is so good. I want more disclosure of her character, her story. Writing off a chemist would also be a crime. And I'm also terribly happy for Delaney's son - he's too good a smart kid, let him live. In short, a great uplifting end to the season, with blood, explosions and corpses. Great.
@NikitaSnegirev: This is not the end of the series, but only the beginning of it. The creators are planning 3 seasons and I don't see any reason why FX won't meet them halfway.
In this series, I finally discovered Tom Hardy for myself...it's the first time he seems so sexy, being a completely repulsive savage (although, apparently, women are led to this))) Let's hope that the continuation of the series will grow stronger in quality with each new episode. *_*
Somehow they stupidly leaked Zilfa..is James crazy about her, conjures himself into her dreams, persuades her to leave her husband and go to America with him, and then - once and for all, the feelings are over, left her and in the next episode she commits suicide? vtf.
I hope the chemist will survive. Useful dude) I'm glad Godfrey wasn't leaked))
Otherwise, it turned out to be a good ending, but I feel sorry for Bryce...and James would need a loyal servant in the Americas)) On the other hand, it's time for the old man to retire, he's been through a lot with the crazy Delaneys..
@Lala_B: Zilfa ran to throw herself off the bridge because she defected)) So when James returned and confessed his love, then no, he didn't need a husband, a house, everything, incest. Then a couple of erotic dreams and emotions got the better of her mind and she was "with him" again. Well, here, as it were, the jealousy of her husband, coupled with beatings, do not add to the latter's advantages in karma, and here I fully support her - that's where his road goes. I also thought James would kill him as an option. And then she runs to him, and he doesn't want her. Although the scene of intimacy, coupled with voodoo visions, leaves many questions - who "fucked up" whom?! And the veil of emotions falls like a curtain - what is she left with? A widow. With a lot of money for "widowhood". But apparently she was not satisfied with this situation. (in vain) By the way, there was a moment when it seemed that she had something to do with voodoo... or her sick mind had fantasized about it.
They've probably already asked, but I haven't seen an explanation: explain what the hell is going on with justice in old England? More precisely, why is it there? 1. What prevented Delaney from being released? I would sit in a dungeon under control and norms, at the same time the Americans would not kill. 2. What prevented you from giving up on the will at the very beginning, killing Delaney, and saying that there was no will at all. 3. What prevented even earlier from holding a fictitious trial with fictitious witnesses and other things, just to comply with the formalities and take away the Chickpeas?
I really don't understand the observance of laws and justice in this England much more than in today's Russia, lol.
@AEE: from here http://mikaprok.livejournal.com/268911.html "... Another layer that seems to be hardly noticeable to anyone. Let's remove the second layer of earth. Under it we can already see scarlet ribbons and Marshal's stars, lightly sprinkled with ashes. Tom Hardy's character is a British aristocrat with roots. Perhaps the bastard of a member of the royal family or a distant relative of a VERY noble family. There is no other way to explain the lisping with him. Obviously, such people cannot be strangled right away, we have to start looking for a compromise. Only in case of their fundamental disagreement with the rules of the game can heavy artillery be fired. Then – according to the circumstances.

This section of the picture is not clearly drawn and is not designed for the viewer without glasses, so unnecessary explanations are skipped. It is assumed that such people always act in some group-wide interests. For example, they correctly draw up inheritance documents or share their acquired property there...."
@AEE: England is a country in which parliament has existed since the 12th century, and often acts as a kind of counterweight to the king. Considering that George has extremely strained relations with parliament due to his exorbitant embezzlement, perhaps he was afraid to run into an aristocrat. Just because the parliament could stupidly refuse to support him. And Delaney, in turn, probably tried to make public the fact and content of his own will. Therefore, both incarceration without evidence and accusations, and a fictitious trial are unrealistic. Besides, people were still religious, and perjury was something out of the ordinary
@mrsultry: because James was detained on the basis of the OIC accusation, and after the conclusion of the deal, the OIC withdrew the charges and released him.
@koalalumpur: If you've watched two Hardy movies, I really feel for you. He's just different, he plays different bad guys, but he's not always bad guys either. Stewart is a sick bum, Prikup is a thug without a drop of sympathy, Bronson is a sick criminal... Heathcliff, Max, Tommy Conlon, John Fitzgerald, Bane... Is he bad at these roles? It's not true! Is he gay in rock'n'roll? And the romantic hero in "So it's War"? Is Jack in Colditz? Jennifer Lawrence is still overrated, and Stewart, and Dakota Johnson. But certainly not Hardy.
Clear time planning and an idea with letters of instructions (as in the movie 'Push' 2009), all major gestalts are closed (albeit with some losses, but still), everyone got what they deserved.
I remember a couple of phrases. The Americans have already been mentioned above, but here's more:
In the middle of the season, the series dropped a little, as it seems to me, but the last 2 episodes justified everything. It was awesome, I'm waiting for the second season.
Well, I'm sure there will be a second season, and all the action will be on its way to the Azores... But we'll have to get to nootka by the third, unless, of course, the ratings go through the roof and then we can sail for a season longer ... but in general, the series came out as moderately atmospheric, i.e. they didn't overdo it anywhere, either with boredom or with action. personally, it was pleasant for me to watch, not intrusive, but I watched, not listened, and surfed the Internet...
@cartmanazi: well, there is a chance that not everyone immediately appreciated the series and now, while filming season 2, they will get involved and there will be success.
@fermer: This usually works when the series doesn't have an end-to-end plot and you can watch it even from the third season, but that's not the case here. And even though I like Hardy, I have to admit I was expecting more. For example, he was constantly muttering something, but for the whole season they didn't even give us a hint of what it was or if it mattered at all. And what was the point of trying to get a sister, and then saying, you know, I thought I didn't need you without a rival)
The only thing is, I didn't understand the idea a bit...Why did James come back to London and arrange all this? For the sake of people and Nutka? Revenge? Justice? The states? Or any other purpose? That's the point I didn't quite understand. Imho it is not fully explained...maybe you need season 2 after all. The final remained quite open.
P.S. The series came out incredibly cool and atmospheric!
I'm probably being liked by everyone right now, but am I the only one who has a "well, that" impression of the series? I hope they won't continue. What all this voodoo magic was about (apart from the fact that he was smeared with clay in a fictional language and spoke in the slomo effect), it does not reveal in any way in the end, even about the mother of the hero, we did not really find out anything. And the dialogues between the characters generally broke through every episode on the pokerface. "Who are you to him?" "I'm his mother." Well, seriously. You're positioning yourself as a serious series. At least his sister's husband died by the end, otherwise it was unbearable (and I'm not talking about the relationship with her, which, apart from incest, does not reveal itself in any way, well, we could at least add flashbacks). The ending seems to be a "happy ending," but it was necessary to add drama, and for SOME REASON they decided to offend Bryce, the only character who has never been infuriated. The plot with Nutka is not bad. Tom Hardy is great too. And the rest is some kind of junk. It's a pity, there was such a potential.
@nadyahope: If they don't continue, the voodoo lines will remain suspended. I liked the series as a whole. The only annoying factor for me personally is Zilfa. The way the actress played her (one facial expression in almost all episodes), and the general meaninglessness of her character. They seemed to introduce a romantic thread into the narrative, but then they crumpled, chewed, spat out, ground on the ground and scraped off the boot.
Overall, I'm really looking forward to the sequel.
@nadyahope: gg's voodoo skills demonstrate his power and strength (he was tortured for 12 hours, physically he must endure the same). The man survived for ten years in an unknown way in African captivity, and then in the service of a slave trader. Here, it seems to me, a lot is provided to the viewer, such as how Palahniuk makes the reader think - so here you think for yourself who is into what)) Personally, I understood all this smearing with clay - the person is well-groomed), balanced (physically and spiritually), clearly knows why he returned and returned at the right moment. Plus, they hint at his mental capabilities - he felt a connection with his blood relatives, you can think about the power of blood and so on, here's who's how strong)), and voodoo helped him control and direct these capabilities. Inheritance from maman)
Of course, there are still many open questions. Even for a viewer with a sooo rich imagination, why did he "magnetize" his sister? or did the sister, against the background of her husband's insanity, just go crazy in her own way? By the way, there are still interesting moments, but this already concerns Tom's acting - perfect dispassion. That is, you can't understand absolutely anything from the character - what he feels and how he reacts, especially those tears when you read Zilfa's letter. Bravo, of course. And so the hero remains a mystery.
The series is great and the end of the season is not bad, but something was missing. Everything is too painfully smooth, it's not realistic at all, without a hitch, without a hitch. After watching a couple of episodes, it was clear that he would get everything, he would give away his debts, not without losses, of course. There wasn't enough surprise....I don't know, there were mixed emotions at the end of the season.
@nasya: It would have been quite smooth if they had sailed away calmly. And then there's the chase, and a couple of deaths. A couple more important characters are in unknown condition.
It's a good series. I watched it with pleasure almost without looking away. The intrigue, the acting, the diverse characters, and especially Gatiss as the prince pleased. I would especially like to mention the soundtrack, which compliments the entire narrative. Let's hope Lorna survives.
Have you watched Sharp Visors and thought that the cameo role of Hardy wasn't enough for you? Well, here's eight hours of fucking Tom Hardy for you. Receive and sign up. This series takes on an atmosphere and characters, but the plot itself becomes interesting only towards the finale. I would not write this series down as the best or the most significant. But there's a powerful performance by an A-class actor, and that's the only reason this series is worth watching.
I love these series when it seems that GG has already been taken by the gills and there is nowhere to run. But his next step is to be proactive, and again you don't know how it's going to end!
It's a great move to take a powerful actor and an appropriate script. without Hardy, there would have been another BBS fuck-up. The supporting cast is also good, but since the archetype obliges everyone to dance around Mr. Olso, the second season can easily slide into the ug with such a cliffhanger.
A very atmospheric, beautifully dirty series. But the motives of Hardy's character remained unclear (perhaps the second season will clarify even more), and the imbalance of the mystical and the real was confused. As James Delaney would say, "hmm."
I want to mention the character who plays the king, every time it became funny, looking at him. And in general, it's very powerful for the UK to make such an atmospheric and filled with scenery and costumes series. I'll also mention the musical accompaniment. Super! Well done.
I also want to point out that it was interesting to see Georgian London. The Carlton House, meticulously recreated from paintings and engravings with George's favorite oriental interiors, towering over the entire city, the newly completed St. Paul, dirty docks, stuffy little aristocratic living rooms crowded with people.
The story is about a man who walks around London and threatens everyone
mmmmm * I walk with a menacing gait * xxxxxxmmm *I wear a tall hat tilted slightly forward* Ahhh hmm hmm *Riding a horse menacingly* Ahhh Nutka hmmmmm * mumble something in African * mmmmmmmmm * I smear my face with ashes * mmmm gunpowder hmmm * uncovering the cerambytes * aaah hmmm mmmmm * fucking my sister * be very careful in your own...the next ones...in words * fucking my sister in a dream with African magic * mmmm Nutka... Ahhhh * I open my eyes wide and stare * hnnnnnn hmmmm * I peel a boiled egg with gloves and eat it whole * aahhhhh * cutting out someone's heart * mmmmm tell the company xxxxnnnnn aaahhhh * caught a vision of his mom in the river * xxhmmhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm * I don't wear pants * good afternoon
in general, of course, everything is cool and healthy, but damn, seriously? the monarch gives the order to destroy at all costs and a handful of thugs cope with the army and leave on one ship and the naval power cannot catch up with them?
Another series with another Mary Sue, whom everyone is afraid of, whom everyone obeys. Boundless powers, strange. that he doesn't have teleportation yet.
And how was the head of the East India Company cast for the role? "Hello, we really liked how you burn at 6-10 of Game of Thrones, do you want to burn with us?"
Well, the series is very good, but it couldn't be any other way, because part of the series is GP, the second part is Black Sails, and the plot and thinking over the moves of the characters is Sherlock from 3 Cool series took the best sides... Well, the cast of GP + Sherlock+ Tom Hardy IMHO
A great end to season 1. I was pleased with the ending without various kinds of embellishments and immortal characters. I was especially pleased with the chemist with grenades, who bought time for the team. I wonder how Jesse Buckley's injury will turn out? Tom Hardy's acting is also great, for which I thank him very much.
For some reason, Zilfa was left in the dark. I hope that she is still alive and will be one of the connecting threads of the narrative between the New and the Old World.
The most overrated series of the last. All those murdered girls, the African mumbo-jumbo, the endless MUD speculation-what's it for? You never worry about the hero at all. Boring. Zilfa is just about nothing.
That's a lucky son of a bitch! Until the last moment, I doubted that everything would work out for them. And he also left a statement to someone who needed it and managed to leave with an almost complete team.
The finale turned out great! Mash, guts, hardcore! A few nuances are not clear: 1) Nothing is clear about his mother, except that she tried to kill him in infancy, was in a mental hospital and is apparently very dead, since she appears to him in visions; 2) James said that the ship is going to his mother's world and therefore does not take Bryce with him. As a result, they go to the Azores, not to Nootka..What?.. 3) Zilfa. It would have been possible to come up with something cooler with this character if she had been played by another actress. This one keeps popping her eyes, which is incredibly annoying. Why incest was attributed to the plot is not entirely clear, if in the end it was needed as an excuse to squeeze the Chickpeas. Delaney didn't really like her, apparently, since he wasted her right after the hookup, in my opinion she was written off too early, or alternatively she will still serve as a ghost. But in general, Hardy is very pleasant to watch, I liked the series.
I think this Delaney made friends with death because she avoided him so many times! And it's clear that he's definitely not afraid to die, maybe because he knows he won't die? They should have shown more about this shamanic voodoo magic in the second season, otherwise everything is going around, but in fact nothing is clear.
I really liked the series, it's especially sweet to my heart, this time. The beginning of the 19th century. A dirty city, terrible poverty and despair, crowds of poor children who have to work as children. The collision of a man with a huge corporate machine. Hence all the troubles and adventures. Revenge, anger, nobility, betrayal. I'm looking forward to the second season.
the only problem I had was all these multi-passers who are driving multi-passers. there were problems that couldn't be calculated in any way, but since Delaney is such an old witch, of course, the wind whispered in his ear. well, the stump is clear why he was criticized in the West - the romantic-style line was for nothing at all (one could justify this with a "vicious connection" and "adding depth" to the characters if it, as it were, led to something, but it dropped, well, how never mind, drama for drama's sake), a single Indian was killed, Delaney, an African-American, was outrun (and the meaning, too, is kind of unclear in the light of the last episode - everyone who was involved in what happened was killed; now "justice" can only be posthumously restored), there were only female characters 5 (Madame, River, actress, lover, American national Security agent), 3 of them are killed, 4 are dying, 5 don't sew a mare's tail. but overall, overall, the series is good. Victorian England, again, is an interesting period, the soundtrack does not let you relax, Hardy plays perfectly with a plus. in general, we are waiting-from next season.
What surprises me most about this series is GG's ability to calculate everything down to the smallest detail and be one step ahead of everyone, although a lot of it is pure luck. Even the fact that the first episodes didn't bother him at all and his entourage, too, considering what was at stake and what forces he was competing with. But, nevertheless, it was fascinating to watch! Hardy is incredibly cool (especially in a raincoat and a top hat), the rest of the actors (except Zilfa) are too. I will not write about the atmosphere, it is at its height. I hope they won't delay the second season, otherwise it's already autumn 2019 and it's still quiet.
It's just a great series, you don't really believe that everything will work out, the constant intrigue and the pleasant feeling of how everything turns out 6 out of 5.
Tom is as good as ever. He played the typical role of a bad guy, and he's great at playing mentally challenged roles. The series perfectly conveys the style of that vague and bad-smelling time. I highly recommend watching it!
That's the old lady! 7 episodes of tension and one episode full of action, intrigue, attacks and murders. I would like to single out the main character (Hardy) separately- what a mind, a strategist, and just plain handsome.
Autumn is an interesting work by the Hardy brothers, it would be very cool if the sequel were given the light. But the probability is low... Although maybe after Marvel, Tom will return to Taboo.
What was Delaney hoping for at the port anyway? "Let's go into battle with the whole damn garrison of London and pray that at least someone will survive and be able to sail away on a ship."
https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a39881460/peaky-blinders-steven-knight-taboo-season-2-filming/ В конце 2023 начнут съемки, т.е. в лучшем случае осенью 2024 выйдет, ну хоть не отменили.
@br1ella: Waiting 7 years for the next season is a lot, of course. It would be better if Hardy didn't waste time on trash Venom, but released it seasonally.
@Sheeva: The main thing is that the expectations are worth it. And what is 7 years, we've been waiting for the continuation of TP for 25 years, but at least for good reason)
I have mixed feelings about the series and the end of the season in general. I can't say that I didn't like it, and I can't say that it was just wow. For me personally, the series is average.. apparently not my genre) But I liked the characters, they were all thoughtful and interesting in their own way. Hardy is good. And of course, the location and the views, it's nice to look at those times.
The entire British Royal Navy simply let them sail away from London after the battle in the port and the order of the King of England to kill them. I believe it.
Finally, a series that dragged on from and to. And it's good that I just watched it now, like the 2nd season is coming soon, I didn't have to wait 7 years 🤣
I got the impression that the main character's storyline with his stepsister was superfluous. You can remove it and nothing will change. Overall, it's a good series.
@Munin: But this is not accurate🤣 No matter how the script is written and the project has not been canceled (yet), there is no question of any deadlines.
Well, we've been waiting for 10 years, let's wait a couple more years...
Tom Hardy has been taking a break from filming for several years due to health problems.
"Everything is falling apart, and it's not getting any better," the actor said.
Hardy will suspend filming after finishing work on "Gangsterland." He has already undergone two knee surgeries, is struggling with a hernia and pain in his back and feet.
Discussion: Season 1, Episode 8 Join the Discussion
218Wow, well, it turned out to be a gorgeous finale, I didn't expect it to be so epic - so many murders in one series (with both sides). I did not fully believe that James would still be able to sail. It was clear about the contract with the campaign at the end of the last series, but so that he thought everything over and calculated, sorted out everything (and outsmarted) - that was unexpected.

Worried about Lorna and mr. Cholmondeley, it would be too tough to cut out two such characters at once. Well, finally, I repeat once again - Tom Hardy, how cool he is, just watch his character every episode, even just how he walks, mutters something - it's straight top)
The series pleased me, I hope the sequel will be even better. and finally, a cool final dialogue with the "American" mediator (I didn't think he was actually for the campaign)
"-No one in this city has only one master"; "- I do" 10/10.
I'm more worried about the chemist, I would like to see him in the second season.
>> James dumped brace
Well, he came to avenge his father. He did not leave the old man to his fate in the literal sense, he left him to torment his conscience, which in this case is perhaps the most severe punishment.
That's just a fucking ending, for all the money!
As for Zilfa, they obviously didn't show her corpse on purpose in order to leave it open.
In any case, I think we will see Una Chaplin again in the second season, at least in the form of a ghost.
ps. His Sparrow flew up into the air again - his fate is like this)))
HAPPY END IS SO RUSHING!!!!
There is gunpowder, there is a ship, there is dirt / murders / there is! Everything you need for a good ending.
An amazing finale, an amazing series.
Nothing superfluous, everything is on the case.
I thought there would be no meat anymore, but in the end, full hell began. Everyone got what they deserved.
"I'm Mrs. Delaney.
- The wife?
- No, Mom!
gorgeous :)
Lorna, my darling, my darling, I'm most worried about you. As far as Zilfa was leaked (both as a character and, perhaps, with the ends), Lorna is so good. I want more disclosure of her character, her story.
Writing off a chemist would also be a crime. And I'm also terribly happy for Delaney's son - he's too good a smart kid, let him live.
In short, a great uplifting end to the season, with blood, explosions and corpses. Great.
I hope the chemist will survive. Useful dude) I'm glad Godfrey wasn't leaked))
Otherwise, it turned out to be a good ending, but I feel sorry for Bryce...and James would need a loyal servant in the Americas)) On the other hand, it's time for the old man to retire, he's been through a lot with the crazy Delaneys..
We are waiting for the 2nd season)
1. What prevented Delaney from being released? I would sit in a dungeon under control and norms, at the same time the Americans would not kill.
2. What prevented you from giving up on the will at the very beginning, killing Delaney, and saying that there was no will at all.
3. What prevented even earlier from holding a fictitious trial with fictitious witnesses and other things, just to comply with the formalities and take away the Chickpeas?
I really don't understand the observance of laws and justice in this England much more than in today's Russia, lol.
"... Another layer that seems to be hardly noticeable to anyone. Let's remove the second layer of earth. Under it we can already see scarlet ribbons and Marshal's stars, lightly sprinkled with ashes.

A summary of the series for those who missed it.
Clear time planning and an idea with letters of instructions (as in the movie 'Push' 2009), all major gestalts are closed (albeit with some losses, but still), everyone got what they deserved.
I remember a couple of phrases. The Americans have already been mentioned above, but here's more:
Hm-m. I must have lied. (c) J.K. Delaney
And the king burned out, laughed for a long time.
I'm the head of fucking state.
I'm SO SORRY, that's what he is, damn it...
And so I understood that the ending has a hint of season 2?
but in general, the series came out as moderately atmospheric, i.e. they didn't overdo it anywhere, either with boredom or with action. personally, it was pleasant for me to watch, not intrusive, but I watched, not listened, and surfed the Internet...
His mother
Cool
The only thing is, I didn't understand the idea a bit...Why did James come back to London and arrange all this? For the sake of people and Nutka? Revenge? Justice? The states? Or any other purpose? That's the point I didn't quite understand. Imho it is not fully explained...maybe you need season 2 after all. The final remained quite open.
P.S. The series came out incredibly cool and atmospheric!
What all this voodoo magic was about (apart from the fact that he was smeared with clay in a fictional language and spoke in the slomo effect), it does not reveal in any way in the end, even about the mother of the hero, we did not really find out anything.
And the dialogues between the characters generally broke through every episode on the pokerface.
"Who are you to him?"
"I'm his mother."
Well, seriously. You're positioning yourself as a serious series. At least his sister's husband died by the end, otherwise it was unbearable (and I'm not talking about the relationship with her, which, apart from incest, does not reveal itself in any way, well, we could at least add flashbacks).
The ending seems to be a "happy ending," but it was necessary to add drama, and for SOME REASON they decided to offend Bryce, the only character who has never been infuriated.
The plot with Nutka is not bad. Tom Hardy is great too. And the rest is some kind of junk.
It's a pity, there was such a potential.
Overall, I'm really looking forward to the sequel.
Of course, there are still many open questions. Even for a viewer with a sooo rich imagination, why did he "magnetize" his sister? or did the sister, against the background of her husband's insanity, just go crazy in her own way?
By the way, there are still interesting moments, but this already concerns Tom's acting - perfect dispassion. That is, you can't understand absolutely anything from the character - what he feels and how he reacts, especially those tears when you read Zilfa's letter. Bravo, of course. And so the hero remains a mystery.
I want his love with Lorna :)
Taboo" will get a second season. BBC One has renewed the series "Taboo"
This series takes on an atmosphere and characters, but the plot itself becomes interesting only towards the finale. I would not write this series down as the best or the most significant. But there's a powerful performance by an A-class actor, and that's the only reason this series is worth watching.
As James Delaney would say, "hmm."

good afternoon
And how was the head of the East India Company cast for the role? "Hello, we really liked how you burn at 6-10 of Game of Thrones, do you want to burn with us?"
part of the series is GP, the second part is Black Sails, and the plot and thinking over the moves of the characters is Sherlock from 3 Cool series took the best sides... Well, the cast of GP + Sherlock+ Tom Hardy IMHO
Tom Hardy's acting is also great, for which I thank him very much.
Zilfa is just about nothing.
Until the last moment, I doubted that everything would work out for them. And he also left a statement to someone who needed it and managed to leave with an almost complete team.
A few nuances are not clear:
1) Nothing is clear about his mother, except that she tried to kill him in infancy, was in a mental hospital and is apparently very dead, since she appears to him in visions;
2) James said that the ship is going to his mother's world and therefore does not take Bryce with him. As a result, they go to the Azores, not to Nootka..What?..
3) Zilfa. It would have been possible to come up with something cooler with this character if she had been played by another actress. This one keeps popping her eyes, which is incredibly annoying. Why incest was attributed to the plot is not entirely clear, if in the end it was needed as an excuse to squeeze the Chickpeas. Delaney didn't really like her, apparently, since he wasted her right after the hookup, in my opinion she was written off too early, or alternatively she will still serve as a ghost.
But in general, Hardy is very pleasant to watch, I liked the series.
well, the stump is clear why he was criticized in the West - the romantic-style line was for nothing at all (one could justify this with a "vicious connection" and "adding depth" to the characters if it, as it were, led to something, but it dropped, well, how never mind, drama for drama's sake), a single Indian was killed, Delaney, an African-American, was outrun (and the meaning, too, is kind of unclear in the light of the last episode - everyone who was involved in what happened was killed; now "justice" can only be posthumously restored), there were only female characters 5 (Madame, River, actress, lover, American national Security agent), 3 of them are killed, 4 are dying, 5 don't sew a mare's tail.
but overall, overall, the series is good. Victorian England, again, is an interesting period, the soundtrack does not let you relax, Hardy plays perfectly with a plus. in general, we are waiting-from next season.
Chemist live, Miss Bow even liked the end.
Although, they are waiting for the promised three years, so it seems
I hope we will still see the continuation
6 out of 5.
В конце 2023 начнут съемки, т.е. в лучшем случае осенью 2024 выйдет, ну хоть не отменили.
Я все еще не теряю надежды😂
being filmed)))
Acting at the highest level
You can watch and watch
And you wait
Hope dies last!
No matter how the script is written and the project has not been canceled (yet), there is no question of any deadlines.
Tom Hardy has been taking a break from filming for several years due to health problems.
"Everything is falling apart, and it's not getting any better," the actor said.
Hardy will suspend filming after finishing work on "Gangsterland." He has already undergone two knee surgeries, is struggling with a hernia and pain in his back and feet.
Or will there be a second season?
