Future episodes fill out the ensemble even further with the great Stephen Graham (“Boardwalk Empire”) and Michael Kelly (“House of Cards”), and Jonathan Pryce plays the villainous head of the East India Trading Company. It’s definitely a Tom Hardy vehicle, but it’s got a hell of an ensemble supporting him. Still, I suspect your enjoyment of “Taboo” may come down to where you fall on the “Loving Tom Hardy” scale. If you thought “Locke” could have been an hour longer, this is the show for you. Hardy is fantastic, playing the relatable drive of a man looking for revenge alternately with the more mysterious aspects of Delaney’s character.

What exactly happened to him and what he became in Africa is unclear, but let’s just say the word “ghost” may not be entirely symbolic. Delaney appears to be able to communicate with the dead and might be willing to do dark magic to get what he needs. Hardy is excellent at balancing the wit of a character who has to outthink his opponents with that of one who might be just as inclined to rip their throats with his teeth when politics fail. Perhaps I worry too much about the pace of “Taboo” throwing viewers off.

Shows like “ Outlander” and other period dramas have long worked from a slower-than-average template. But will this period drama, with its outbursts of violence and generally unappealing setting, play to those viewers? Only time will tell.
