Synopsis
Taboo (2017), Season 1 — eight episodes of BBC/FX historical drama to watch online on iFILM. London, 1814. James Keziah Delaney walks into his father's funeral after a decade in Africa, looking nothing like a man who was supposed to be dead.
His father left him a stretch of land in Nootka Sound — territory the East India Company and the British Crown both want badly enough to kill for. Delaney has no intention of selling. He buys a brig, assembles a crew of outcasts, opens quiet negotiations with the Americans, and sets about turning the Company and the Crown against each other. Both sides keep underestimating him. Both sides pay for it.
Tom Hardy plays Delaney as someone who left something ordinary behind in Africa and came back carrying something else entirely — contained, strange, dangerous in a way his enemies can't categorize. Steven Knight's script moves fast and explains nothing. Stream Taboo Season 1 online on iFILM.
