Rueben's Ramblings

The new 8-episode FX drama Taboo will debut on January 10 at 10 PM.

Set in 1814, Taboo follows James Keziah Delaney (box office star Tom Hardy), a man who has been to the ends of the earth, comes back irrevocably changed. Believed to be long dead, he returns home to London from Africa to inherit what is left of his father’s shipping empire and rebuild a life for himself. But his father’s legacy is a poisoned chalice, and with enemies lurking in every dark corner, James must navigate increasingly complex territories to avoid his own death sentence.

The cast includes Oona Chaplin (The Longest Ride), Franka Potente (Copper), Jonathan Pryce (Pirates of the Caribbean franchise) and Edward Hogg (Beowulf) [among others].
