I still make references to Carnivale. Hint-don't listen to the commentary before you've seen the whole series. Wish I haven't watched it, so that I can watch it again for the first time!!
MASTERPIECE  2009-11-23 - You. Should. Buy. This. My personal favorite series of all time next to the Twilight Zone and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. That is all.
two season DVD of the HBO series "Carnival"  2009-11-18 - This series is incredible of the 1930's survival, one way of life. Totaly odd and facanating. I ordered the two season set, and it's one of those series you can watch over and over again, you always catch something different. I loved it.
mythology in the dust  2009-10-01 - this is one of our favorite series of all time...
dear lovers of magic and myth,
... so naturally it got canceled. A story of magic, myth, mystery and the struggle of good and evil for possession of this world, this series never fails to entertain and mystify. Set during the great depression and involving the characters in a traveling carnival, its scope reaches through the ages in what seems a never ending conflict between the forces for liberation and those ever seeking control and power. The Indian poet and mystic Tagore wrote: "The Devil seeks slaves and demands obedience. God desires companions and accepts love." This tale illustrates this saying perfectly.
For more details about the show, you can read other reviews. We won't bore you with repeating the same information. We just wanted to say that we wish the series was still going.

A Show that is NOT a Joke, which died way too Early  2009-08-16 - Carnivale is a unique Television experience that I would recommend to anyone. That is the short version of my review. But let us look at why I state this. Prior to actually watching the show, I had no idea what it was about, save for the fact that I vaguely remember the show being broadcast on HBO. But I had thought that the show was entirely about carnies and to me that did not sound appealing. For awhile I continued to avoid this show, until about 3 months ago when I finally broke down and made the purchase. I had been reading the various reviews on how great of a show this was and how it had died early. The current price for both seasons is a steal!!
When they finally arrived at my house I had no idea what I was about to get myself into. Ripping the plastic cover off season 1, I placed the first cd into my dvd player and began to workout. For me the best time to watch TV shows was during a good bike ride. The initial opening sequence was gripping and my bike ride soon became of secondary importance.
Two days later I had watched both seasons and I did not want to leave the world of Carnivale. Watching how Daniel Knauf intertwined the two stories of Ben Hawkins (good) and Brother Justin Crowe (evil) was fascinating. But what was even more intriguing was the constant struggle between good and evil. Although this was a "basic" struggle, what Mr. Knauf succeeded in doing was showing how both characters were corrupted by their surroundings and the events that took place. Both characters were prisoners of Mr. Knauf's story and as such, were destined to become enemies. These characters were very real and at times I found myself immersed in their stories. Call me crazy, but I felt as if I were living in the world of Carnivale. That is how good this series is and why I recommend it to everyone.
