The What Else Sucks Podcast #015 - Taboo FX Episode 2 - Jason and Scott Recap What's Going On and Make Some Predictions

What Else Sucks?

Just to be safe, we should say that there are minor spoilers in this post and in the episode. Episode 2 of FX's new series, "Taboo" starring Tom Hardy aired this week and while it clued us in to some more details about James Keziah Delaney's (can't resist throwing that middle name in) often guessed about past, there ended up being more questions than before by the end of the episode. There are admittedly and unfortunately, fewer top hats in this episode. We find out some things, such as what James buried in the beginning of episode 1 - huge ass diamonds, that just about everyone is on the take from East India Company, and that there is an American spy presence in London. We're also met with questions about who sent this silver toothed guy to get his neck bitten out in botched murder attempt number one as well as who sent this actress lady to lay a claim to the Delaney inheritance. A recurring point in the conversation is how well paced the show is. According to this article on Rotten Tomatoes, Hardy says the pace will continue to pick up and some wild stuff will go down later this seasone.g. fruit, horse, bed. In the same article, the writer says, "If you think you know what’s going to happen next, you’re probably wrong.” We're all in on that. We're also really stoked to feature What Else Sucks' first musical guest in Shiloh Hill with their song, "Wildflower" in our intro and outro. They're a local outfit with a new album out that you can check out on their SoundCloud page or at www.shilohhillmusic.com.
