Review of Carnival Row

Carnival Row (2019–2023)

Engaging Fantasy in a Stunning Visual World
5 September 2019
Fantasy is not my favorite genre, but this surprisingly entertaining series creates a gritty, richly detailed fantasy world for its characters and story. The production values are impressive, as is the acting, which is solid across the board, especially the leads, with Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne lighting it up, literally. Delevingne, in particular, is absolutely charming as the fairy lead. It's no surprise that the camera loves her.

I'm looking forward to Season 2 and what this immensely talented creative team can do next.

It appears that some reviewers are projecting their political views and sandbagging their scores. That's unfortunate. Those reviewers should keep in mind that the themes of this show are universal. They might be surprised that refugees, migration, and ethnic conflicts follow most wars.
