Named 2nd worst show of the year by EW.


Wtf? This show is great.

It's a terrific show! I'm rewatching it now on Hulu. It perplexes me how anyone could call it the "2nd worse show" of the year...Filming is supposed to start early this year for Season 2. I'm just going to assume it will be well worth the wait...

I just started watching it within the last week, I cannot fathom how this was the worst. It has great production values and what I'd call a very decent level of historical texture. I mean, when was the East India Company and George IV ever even a thing in any historical drama?

If I had a criticism, it would be that maybe its a bit indulgent in the flashbacks/imagination of Tom Hardy's character, but otherwise it's really solid, better than Ripper.

Am watching Season 1 again for the 3rd time. Great show.

reply

Agreed. Shame we only got one season.

Also, one of the coolest theme songs of the last decade.

reply

I agree. I wish they did a second season.

reply

Hardy claims it's a passion project and season 2 is still going to happen, but his busy schedule has prevented it thus far.

reply

Surely he can push back Venom 3 a good bit?

reply

I've never seen the Venom movies lol, but I'm guessing the paycheck is hard to pass up!

reply

The actors who played Brace and the President of the East India Company will be dead by the time season 2 comes out.
