Some things are hard to make heads or tails of at first, but they’re worth sticking with. Hot on the heels of the British phenomenon Peaky Blinders, director Steven Knight called upon his good pal Tom Hardy to star in another fascinating series, Taboo. By Hardy’s side was a sterling cast, including Jessie Buckley, Oona Chaplin, Mark Gatiss, and Stephen Graham. However, when the BBC revealed the show in 2017, it fared well but never quite reached the dizzying heights of the Shelby boys in Peaky Blinders. Nonetheless, Taboo was renewed, and it has only become more popular over years of critical reappraisal, but the follow-up never came.
