DVD Reviews of Carnivale: The Complete First Two Seasons
DVD Review: If you liked BSG or Spartacus Blood & Sand, you'll LOVE this
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm always slightly behind the curve when it comes to appreciating a cult show like CARNIVALE. (I didn't start watching OZ until it had been on for years and then watched 3 seasons in one week.)
The most strikingly thing about CARNIVALE is how the cast is a pitch-perfect mix of character actors, unknowns and modestly famous celebs. Anytime you see Clancy Brown AND Amy Madigan AND Patrick Bauchau in the same cast credits, you know it will be good! Cynthia Ettinger is flawless as the world-weary stripper/prostitute who falls painfully in love with Tim McKay's heroic Jonesy. Nick Stahl and Clea DuVall are both outstanding as young characters already damaged by Depression-era lives and relentless bad luck. Michael J. Anderson deftly plays the leader of the troupe as he walks a tightrope between deception and power.
Show creator Daniel Knauf apparently struggled for years to make it as a teleplay writer and then when the first season of CARNIVALE was completed had to struggle again to convince HBO to make the second season. Knauf currently writes for SPARTACUS BLOOD & SAND.
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA creator Ronald D. Moore was an exec producer on the first season of CARNIVALE and he has said he was very sad when it was canceled after two seasons.
The set and costume design (which won several Emmys and was nominated for at least a dozen) is flawless. You can almost feel the dust and dirt on your face in several scenes. The economic and cultural desperation resonates in the show as we watch victims of the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl wander across a sun-blasted American West in search of any sort of salvation.
Watch CARNIVALE and be amazed.
DVD Review: Best HBO series ever
Summary: 5 Stars
If you like dark, brooding, mysterious dramas with haunting, evocative music, this is the show for you! The cinematography, casting, acting, and storylines were first rate. The dream (nightmare) sequences were second to none, and there were plenty of them. I particularly liked how the characters became more complex and intriguing over time. Unbelievable that HBO chose to cancel this series after only two seasons. The last episode of season two will leave you teary-eyed and demanding that they finish the story.DVD Review: Awesome Entertainment
Summary: 5 Stars
The story is a bit dark - but so well done that this is a set worth watching again and again.DVD Review: Carnivale
Summary: 5 Stars
This was an avant guard program on HBO.
There was a surprise with every episode.
Excellent cast.
HBO made a mistake in not continuing the series.
DVD Review: Say your prayers when this circus comes to town?
Summary: 5 Stars
Set in the Dustbowl era of America's past, this tale is of the battle between good & evil. A poor farm boy with the power of good & a charismatic preacher with the power of evil. One sent to heal & one to destroy. Who will emerge victorious? How do you measure victory? Filled with magic, sex, death, betrayel, intrigue & mysterious characters this mini series is captivating but of an adult content & not suitable for anyone under 18.
