(Spoiler alert for the sixth episode of FX’s “Taboo.”)
George Chichester (Lucian Msamati) returned this week on “Taboo,” and once again he only played a very small part as he appeared in only two scenes. Though his presence still feels extremely important. So far, though, we aren’t sure exactly how he’s going to matter outside of the delightfully subtle way he calls all the white people he’s been dealing with racist.
Last week, Chichester met with a representative of the British Crown, who gave him permission to go ahead with his investigation into the sinking of an East India Company ship called the Influence, which Chichester says was illegally engaged in the African slave trade and was sunk intentionally in order to cover up the involvement of prominent Company men.
