*The look of the show is really cool.*</center><br>

My wife and I have been watching the FX television show *Taboo*. We were attracted to the series because it is created by and stars Tom Hardy.  We have always enjoyed his work so we figured we'd give it a try.

We are also both fans of "weird" shows and this one appeared to fit that bill. In that area, it has not disappointed.

*Taboo* is a dark and mysterious period piece set in 19th century London. When the show begins, the main character James Delaney has returned home from Africa in order to attend to his family's affairs after the death of his father. While in Africa, Delaney apparently experienced something supernatural. Although I have watched six episodes, I'm still not quite sure what that "something" is.

Delaney is pitted against both the Crown and the big and bad East India Company (neither "big" nor "bad" are used sarcastically). The plot has to do with land ownership in the New World (America) and gun powder... I think.

That is really all I can say... because I have no idea what the Hell is going on in this show. 

During each 82 minute episode, nearly nothing happens. It seems the majority of the time, Delaney is dramatically walking from one location to another. About five episodes in, he must have gotten tired because he finally got a horse and started riding from one location to another. 

Typically, I would have rolled my eyes and turned off  a show filled with so little action. However, *Taboo* is unique. 

The music, costumes, and characters are all really cool. Tom Hardy may be the most dramatic walker I have ever seen. Whenever he starts walking somewhere, I always turn to my wife to make fun of the scene... but I never fast forward. Its weird.  Its almost like I am being hypnotized by his gait.

<br> I was completely fine with this show until episode six. There was nothing wrong with the episode. Actually, the reason I am considering giving up has nothing to do with the episode itself. When the episode ended, the big voice over guy appeared to inform the audience that their  were only two episode left before the *season* finale.

# The *Season* Finale?!

One of the reasons we began watching the show was because we were under the impression that it was a one and done series. We thought the entire story would be told over the course of its eight episodes. I was preparing for the *series* finale. 

As soon as I found out that I'd have to sit through at least another season of Delaney walking and riding from location to location, I thought to myself, "Do I want to sit through two and a half more hours of this just to have to wait for a possible payoff a year from now?"

I could handle the dreadfully slow pace for one season... but for two? I don't think I can do it.

Has anyone out their watched the entire first season? 

Should I bother watching the final two episodes?

Does anything actually happen?

Of the  final 164 minutes, how many are spent watching Delaney move from one place to another?

Am I the only one who made it this far?
