Bingeworthy Breakdown: Should You Be Watching FX’s ‘Taboo’ Starring Tom Hardy?

The Playlist:

The Bingeworthy Breakdown is (if this works) a new occasional look at new series. An estimated 500 scripted seasons of TV will air in 2017, and to help you sort the wheat from the chaff, we’re going to look at the first episodes of the most notable of these to help you work out whether it’s worth tuning every week for them, waiting to binge later, or using the time to finally watch the final season of “Treme” or whatever else you’ve been waiting for. First up is FX’s “Taboo,” which debuts on Tuesday.
