Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

BlueRoseNya I've been watching Carnivàle at least once a year since I borrowed the DVD box from a friend in 2007. I'm a mood junkie, and to me art is something that makes you feel. So far only a few TV series have been able to take me to another world. Carnivàle does it every time. The atmosphere is fantastic: every picture is beautifully shot, every sound is perfect. I love the soundtrack. The writers did an excellent job and the language the characters use is authentic and really funny. The costumes, the locations, everything is just perfection. The acting, casting and directing are superb. Every single character is well developed and I can honestly say that I think they're all great, even the small supporting roles. The storyline is also excellent. It was written in its whole like a novel with 3 volumes. The TV series covers the first volume. There were supposed to be 6 seasons until HBO decided not to make the next chapters. Funnily enough, on the DVD special features is an interview from after the first season where Dan Knauf explains that it's a novel and he points out that it would be awful to start reading a novel and someone takes it out of your hands when you've only read half of it, and he jokes and says how lucky he is that HBO wants to tell his whole story. Tragic! However, at this point, if you surf a bit, it's possible to find information on how the story was supposed to unfold, so that gives some kind of closure after all these years.One more thing there is to say about Carnivàle, if you haven't seen it yet, it needs to be watched several times because it's so multi-layered. And it builds up slowly, but this really pays off for the depth of the story and characters later on, something that is very rare to see on a screen. And of course, it's unfinished but it's still very much worth it and a beautiful experience.

Subramani K The wonderful thing about this serial is the location, cinematography.The actors are brilliant, while i am watching this i felt that i am living with them. Ben and Samson characters did nice acting.. No wonder it won Emmy for cinematography, costumes, and hairstylingIt is too shame that HBO has to stop this, the same thing they did with Deadwood. Hoping they will change their mind. &heard there are more stories and characters to be introduced in later season. If they cannot run the full season, don't start it. but i like HBO serials.. they are totally different from others."come-on children's"

b-graham1-590-986250 Did they ever finish the story off?They never did the 3rd series or did they finally make it?If not did they do a one off film to tie up loose ends or are they going to?The series itself is excellent and a gripping story line.It was a disappointment though not to know the outcome.Would love to know how it all ends.We really enjoyed watching series one and two.We have bought these on DVD and have been hoping that funds would become available to finish the story line.We keep looking and hoping.We were very surprised when they said they had run out of funds to complete the series.I should imagine it was very popular.As it is it is like reading a really good book with the last pages missing.Please finish the story off for all the fans.

georgiasmum0 Only up to episode 20, can't imagine how it will all culminate in just another 4 episodes!!!!! My husband and I have been watching this avidly for over 2 weeks. We have only just pulled ourselves up to an episode a day because we don't want it to end. This has to be one of the most intriguing shows I've watched in forever. Fantastic! Never would have thought I'd watch it, but we are both hooked. Great acting; great soundtrack, great video effects and heaps of stories all rolled into one episode each time - I'm not normally keen on this genre, but it had me hooked from Episode 1. Will write another comment at the end of it and see if it shakes up to be all it has been to date.
