A good start. Bodes well. Just hope it doesn't turn into a mumbled speech dark light fest that some have in the past
correctly setup tv and decent audio helps!i enjoyed it even tho nowts happened yet except he can commune with the dead possibly and banged his half sister
This kind of thing (and David Attenboroughs nature programs) unlike certain other offerings, seem to be what the BBC can do well.
I watched the interview with the writer, which included a short clip from the series, and thought `must watch that' and it turned out to be every bit as good as the clip suggested it would be. Remarkable too, how they find the atmospheric places used to film it. Agreed that some of the dialogue at times made it difficult to understand what was being said, but being able to re run it several times over, meant that some of the comments which were not first intelligible could be sorted out. This is one series I will definitely want to follow without fail.

Just watched it, yes I thought it was very good.
Love seeing London for what it was back in the 17th century. And historic references to the East India Company and war with America

I think you are 200 years too early. It's set in 1814. Either way, we thought it was great - most un-saturday night in terms of feel (so much so we taped it and watched it on Sunday evening!

Taboo is off the shelf...It is made by an independent production company, sold it to the BBC. It is also showing on the American channel FX who have bought it as well.
