Carnivale: Season 2 (2005)

Setting: U.S. from Texas to California; mid 1930's)

Second and sadly final season of ‘Carnivale’ started out fairly strong, but then got a little slow for my taste, seemingly relying on filler for most of each show. However it all wrapped up quite impressively, bringing things to another level and creating a very strong and satisfying mythology, one that I’m saddened I’ll never get to see further developed. Aviaters, Omega's, blind confederate widows, delimbed Russians, and Methodists ranging from good to evil, oh yes, and the Dreyfus’s.
