Watchseries; I am having so much fun with this series, It's Harry Potter for adults an absolute must watch. The performances are fantastic, The plot is solid. I have no clue why more people aren't talking about or watching this show.

Carnival Row watchseries. Interesting story. A little of something for everyone. Romance, horror, fantasy, suspense I liked it more than I thought I would. Get ready to hate the bad guys not because of their actions but because they're just annoying
This is one of those shows that hooks you from the start and you just can't let go until you reach the end, craving more. Cara Delevine holds her own and is the blatant hammer to Orlando Bloom's quietly simmering tortured soul. Their chemistry is electric which makes their connection believable and rich in layers of regret, pining, and deep love. A lot of the twists were obvious, but I didn't care because the journey to the answers was just so damn cool. There is some heavy language, nudity, and violence, but it is not gratuitous and just adds the fudge topping to this unique take on a "what if" dimension. The make up work and CGI are almost flawless. The horns on the pucks looked so real and great care was taken to avoid the prosthetic "wobbling" that sometimes happens with such large head attachments, which a sci-fi nerd like me really appreciated. Give this one a go if you are into fantasy and murder mystery. It is a delicious marriage of the two.
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.
Too many reviewers are unable to let go of the real world and enjoy a fantasy steampunk series.
Personally, thoroughly enjoying it so far, a much needed slice of steampunk, well executed. If they only could make Perdido Street Station, I'd die happy!
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!
