It is a mysterious story about that growing immigrant living among more human populations in the most depressing part of the city. It seems that someone is forbidden to live, love or fly freely anywhere. In the dark, hope may live as a human informant named Rycroft Philostrate, and a refugee named Vignette Stonemoss, reviving a dangerous relationship amid all this momentum of mystery.

It seems the time is right for audiences to become invested in this magical world, even if it's a far darker and nastier place than they might have otherwise imagined.August 27, 2019
Like many a silly novel, it is a shambles, but an enjoyable one, and as long as you're up for some full-throated groans you'll be rewarded with a long, messy, and satisfying distraction.August 30, 2019
I wonder how wise it was for Amazon to invest so heavily in a show that is very clearly at risk of being cannibalised by its own parent. If The Boys doesn't chew it up, that $250 million Lord of the Rings surely will.August 30, 2019
It's gripping and fun, and deserves chance to breathe.August 29, 2019
To say Carnival Row is overstuffed would be to declare Jeff Bezos "a bit wealthy."August 29, 2019
It may go some way towards cheering up fantasy fans still coming to terms with Game of Thrones' ghastly final series.August 29, 2019
What keeps the drama from flying completely true, in spite of all its beauty, is that it falls short of its obligation to utterly enthrall the audience with its stories as well as its glamour.August 30, 2019
Too crass to care about, too serious to take seriously. Still, for all that, it is a solidly crafted creation with only the set designers working even harder than the leads.August 29, 2019
This Ripper-esque murder mystery in a fantastical Victorian-styled metropolis with two attractive leads would be better without the heavy moralising about migrants, racism and the patriarchy.August 29, 2019
The Amazon series is easier to follow even as it introduces initially-unconnected characters in multiple social classes. This gives "Carnival Row" plenty of areas to explore. If only it all felt more unique.
