Yes, yes, and yes! Now That's how you do a season finale!
On Taboo Season 1 Episode 8, we go from intense sadness to thrilling, pulse pounding action at the drop of a hat. I haven't seen a season finale like this in many a year, and the ending begs for at least one more season. Do the right thing, FX.
I expected to pick up with the Delaney/Strange meeting, so it was quite a shock to see it start with the sad and pathetic Zilpha ending her suffering by hurling herself into the Thames.
She was never really treated well in this show, having been abused by her hubby Thorne, and astral-raped by her crazy half brother the entire series.
Women in general got the raw end of the deal here, but maybe that's just the way it was back then. Doesn't make it any easier to watch, though.
