Carnival Row Review Conclusion
Eagerly awaiting Season 2 – A brilliant show that throws you in at the deep end of life in the Burge, a city not unlike Victorian London with a unique society. Immigrants, fleeing a war, arrive on ships and are indentured to businesses and families to work off the cost of their passage. With beautiful settings clashing with harsh realities of civilised citizens encountering races they are not familiar with, this show raises questions. And there is always someone scheming to get further, raise higher, and make more money. As piece after piece of information comes together, the darker and darker it gets. Step lightly on the path and use your wiles, as you enter Carnival Row.
