Customer Reviews

Great Series but too short
We loved this series and were left wanting more. There were only 2 seasons so we are left with unanswered questions forever. The characters were interesting and well developed. The 1930's backdrop was excellent.

Revisiting Carnivale
I had forgotten just how amazing this HBO offering was ... enjoying it more than I can say the second time around.

Anybody else feel a bit ...disappointed?
I got sucked into this series, despite the facile writing, the often cringe-worthy dialogue and the painfully obvious fact that many -- thank god not all -- of the castmembers couldn't act their way out of a wet paper bag (or they were directed and edited so badly that they were unable to show any talent). Through it all, I gave the writers credit that something more was going on below the veneer of arbitrary spookiness and inscrutability. The ending told me that I had been a sucker.
Give a high school drama club a $50 million budget for costumes, sets and cgi, tell them to do something spooky and atmospheric, and you'd get something like this. Oh, and throw in a few really talented actors to highlight how bad everyone else is.
The only dialogue I ever want to hear coming out of these writers again is, "You want fries with that?"

Sorry for the vitriole, but I just finished watching this series last night, and I wish I hadn't.
