Carnival Row

Ignore the political nitwits in an uproar. They did a great job with this show. Very in depth, great backstory, lore, acting, script. Orlando Bloom was amazing and Jared Harris is always great.

No spoilers here but don't let the politics stop you from watching this.

I don't know what the professional critics had against this series. The production values are fabulous, the world building is impressive, the acting is decent, the story is interesting.

Like Game Of Thrones, it's a fantasy series, grounded in reality. Although the scenario is more Steampunk. With violence, nudity, intrigue, blasphemies, etc.

At the heart of the series are serious topics such as refugees\migration. Perhaps critics didn't like the way this topic was handled. But as far as I'm concerned, I'm enjoying it. I give 8 stars out of 10.

Carnival Row is a captivating fantasy series that tells the story of a Victorian-inspired world where mythical creatures and humans coexist. The show's first season features strong performances by Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne, who bring depth and nuance to their characters. The world-building is impressive, creating an enchanting atmosphere that draws viewers in. The second season maintains the captivating world-building and performances, but some slow scenes involving supporting roles can hinder the overall pace of the show, leading to a rating of 7.5/10. Overall, "Carnival Row" is a worthwhile watch for fans of fantasy, mystery, and romance, with the first season receiving a solid 8/10 and the second season receiving a rating of 7.5/10.

Carnival Row was definitely a lot better than I was expecting. It takes place in a world where different mythological creatures all exist and live together though most don't get along. They also coexist to live with humans after humans invaded their homelands to take over. It follows a human detective named Rycraft "Philo" Philostrate (Orlando Bloom) and a refuge faerie named Vignette Stonemoss (Cara Delevingne) as they rekindle a dangerous affair among a society that doesn't not tolerate humans and creatures getting together. Philo investigates a series of dangerous murders while Vignette has a secret that endangers then both. I'm looking forward to the second and final season coming out in February. I hope they give it a proper ending because it's such a great show and deserves a good ending.

I didn't really know what to expect from Carnival Row but I gotta say that I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. You can tell they spent a lot of money on this as the world they put together is really impressive! For any fans of fantasy this is a must watch and even if you're not into fantasy that much it's still a good watch!
