Wow!! Just finished watching the last series last night, and the ending is really good with quite a few twists and turns. If you watched the first series you will not be disappointed with the 2nd, there is an ending but there is also scope for more series. I am just gutted that HBO have not commissioned a 3rd series, please please please!! definitely recommend.
Carnivale was originally intended to be 3 stories/books, each spanning 2 seasons. Although the show was cancelled after only 2 seasons, the events do draw to a satisfying conclusion.
The series successfully creates a mood that stays with you long after the final episode. There is a slowness, a sense of a different time, a different way of life.
The acting, plot and character development is superb. The theme is quite adult in nature, without ever becoming vulgar or coarse. Although the series addresses the 'age old' battle between good and evil, it does so in a new way. There is nothing corny or sentimental about Carnivale. The characters are not easy to like and the plot leaves you desperate for more.
There are enough loose ends and possibilities to warrant further seasons, but at present HBO have shown no interest in continuing the show.
We will publish your review of Carnivale - Series 2 on DVD within a few days as long as it meets our guidelines.
