"Taboo" - TV Review

Riveting and original TV: Taboo on FX.
What happens when a man with mystical training from far away lands returns to Regency London, tries to establish a trading port monopoly across lands that he inherited but are also being fought for by the British, the East India Tea Company and the Americans and with just as must gusto tries to reinstate his incestuous relationship with his sister? Taboo has GOT- level intrigue set against a not-so-clean-and Poppins-ish time period of England. It's desperate, monstrous, mystical and compelling. Not for the faint of heart. 
Highly, highly recommended, but bloody.
