I'm 3 episodes into Taboo. Not bad, it's got a bit of Melville, a bit of Heart of Darkness Conrad and a hell of a lot of gin alley in it. Great cast including Johnathan Pryce, Stephen Graham, Franka Potente, a very well disguised Mark Gatiss, who seems to be in everything these days, but is pretty damned good as the genetically challenged Prince regent. I think Pryce's part is overplayed, he's too involved in the minutia of his position, but it's a good story.
