The television series "Tabu" with Tom Hardy in the title role was released on the screens

On the BBC One channel on January 7, the British series "Tabu" with Tom Hardy in the title role was started. The eight-part mini-series was shot according to the script of Stephen Knight. The British press writes about the premiere of the project as the most expected and intriguing event of television season. So, Entertainment Weekly calls the television series mysterious, strange and exciting.

The series takes place in the UK in 1814. The protagonist James Dileini performed by Tom Hardy after 10 years in Africa returns to London with fourteen stolen diamonds to avenge the death of his father.

As the film critic notes Yegor Moskvitin in a review made at the request of Meduza , the Tabu series was shot in the same aesthetics of the Dovictorian Nuar and the Cinema Commander based on classical novels about revenge, which has recently released the Russian film by Alexei Mizgirev, Duelant.

Tom Hardy has a reputation as an actor who can "steal any show", according to a film critic. So, in the “surviving” director Alejandro Gonzalez injaarrit, his character Fitzgerald, according to many, was played much more complicated than the hero Leonardo DiCaprio, for the embodiment of which he received an Oscar, the review said. Recall that Tom Hardy also entered the Oscar short list in the nomination "Best Supporting Actor", but in the end he lost to Mark Raylens, who played in the film "Spy Bridge". And in the "Mad Max: The Road Road" "The Silent Postocaliptic Taxilat" Hardy "was not lost against the backdrop of Charlize Theron and a platoon of Victoria's Secret fashion models, Moskvitin notes.

According to the critic, the “taboo” at first seems completely “theater of one actor”, since Hardy is not only the main role performer and the chief producer (along with Ridley Scott), but also the co -author of the idea. But in fact, this, of course, is not so, he adds.

Eight episodes of Tabu will be shown to the audience. New episodes will be demonstrated on Saturdays. The last series will be released on February 28.

According to Yegor Moskvitin, there were few new series that would make such a strong impression from the first episode - among them he calls the “young dad”, “the world of the Wild West”, “one night” and “very strange deeds”.
