Taboo: Episode #1.4 (2017)
Season 1, Episode 4
10/10
This is how you hook a viewer into a show.
28 December 2018
People need to remind themselves that besides anything related to history in this show there's art and there's fiction first, and this episode certainly delivered it the way it should be. It's something rare to watch an episode that really gets you hooked into the story, but this one does.

Before this episode I was a little bit confused to where the show was going, but the picture starts to get a little bit clearer as this episode ends, Delaney has no friends, very few people he can truly count on as allies, but the man has no friends and the only thing keep him alive is himself and a multitude of deals he made with his enemies.

Despite being in trouble many times since the first episode, Delaney seems to always have things under control and manages to always be one step ahead of everyone, which is very unique compared to other shows on TV and their protagonists, a somewhat different way to approach the storyline and keeping it interesting.

I don't know if this is going to be the only review I make of this show and my opinion might even change as I finish the season, but this one right here so far is a winner, one of the last good stories TV has to offer these days.
