Question about the Taboo series

Hey! I'm new to the community. I haven't seen this series yet.

I just know that Zilpha and James are half-siblings on their father's side and had a very close relationship (If you know what I mean)

What is their relationship like? Are they jealous of each other? Do they get along?

The last time I read a story about brothers, one brother is jealous of the other brother and wants to protect him at any cost.

The anticipated wait for season two - a blessing in disguise?

Considering the extended interval since our last encounter in 2017, and the initial rush for a quick follow-up, this delay might be a silver lining. It's possible that the creators have used this time since 2018 to refine and elevate the next season to new heights.

With this in mind, there's a real possibility that the upcoming season will meet, if not exceed our expectations.

EIC and the Crown

What was the dispute between the company and the crown over India that Coop uses to get Stuart to deal in episode three? Of course it all goes to crap later.

Just finished watching the show and Im wondering about Zilpha

Why did James decide not to take her along to America like he initially planned? Why take Lorna but not her?

So in the spirit of season 2 coming eventually, I rewatched season 1 and had some thoughts...

  1. I love this show and the second time watching was just as good as the first time. It's a show that keeps on giving.

  2. I wonder how Roberts character will be portrayed in the next season. It's been awhile since season 1, Louis Ashbourne Serkis is not the wee lad he was when he played Robert in season 1. Will they use CGI? Will they get a different actor? Or perhaps there will be a time jump in the story?

  3. Tom Hardys acting never ceases to amaze me.

  4. I wish there was more updates, behind the scenes info out there. Something....anything!

I had to say this even though it's redundant I'm sure.

So I just watched Taboo which is now one of the best shows I've even watched. I also had never gotten to season 2 of Peaky Blinders but had to after finishing Tabboo. Tom Hardy is so goddamn good. I am watching more of his stuff now and think he's one of the best actors of this generation. I just wanted to say that lol....

So I finished Taboo very quickly. It was so good. I hear season 2 is coming at some point but was hoping for some recommendations that are similar or have the same vibe as this show.

It reminded me a little bit of The Knick, which I highly recommend.

Where to watch the upcoming season 2?

So if you don't have FX will you have to wait for the season to be over until it moves to a streaming platform? Do we know what one that will be?

What's your favorite quote from the series, or the most funny one for you?

The whole semen conversation just killed me lmao. This show is dark and funny at the same time, so good. I really hope they keep this up in S2.

Psychic sexytime?

So he's having sex with his half sister via mind control/witchcraft? Has he been doing this forever? Why would she think he was dead then?

I mean, Tom Hardy, look me up if this is a skill you want to practice. But in the meantime, are we to understand they had physical relations in corporeal bodies or just telepathically?

Do you think Zilpha (Oona Chaplin) will return? [Spoilers]

So I've just watched the series and got mildly frustrated over Zilpha's (probable?) death. I was hoping we'd see more of her as a character and it feels strange that she had such a relatively small role.

Her death hasn't been completely confirmed, and James mentioned he should have 'noticed' her dying. So she could possibly be alive.

What do you think? Is she done and dusted or will she return?

Dr. Dumbarton plot hole?

I've watched the series upwards of five times now and loved it even more each go, but there are a few things that don't make sense to me even now. Probably the biggest is the twist in the final episode that Dumbarton is a Company agent - if that's true, why did he save him from the Company's own assassin back when they needed him dead? And why didn't he tell them about Colonnade, or about any of the other American plots/interests/agents that he doubtlessly knew about? It seems like the twist came totally out of left field without anything to support its entrance.

The only thing I can figure is that he had only recently been bought by the EIC, but (if I recall correctly, which may not be the case) the conversation suggests that he had been working for them for some time already, and that just doesn't seem to make sense (unless I'm missing something).

Also, he just has an American accent and expects people to not be suspicious of him during wartime? Is that a suspension of disbelief thing?
