Back in the beginning of 21st century there was no show on tv that was brave enough to protray good vs evil, Carnivale was the first show to take on this matter and it was doing it brilliantly and this is why the story and drama feels so fresh and unique while you watch and there is no bullshit filler, its just business. After Carnivale so many supernatural shows aired on tv but they all followed because of Carnivale's fanbase. Shame it was canceled and that's because of HBO's financial decisions and nothing to do with show's quality.

Sad that the unique ones die so quickly sure it was a plain good vs evil but its execution was great and it was one of the few shows that kept me from watching anything else during the week or so it took to finish it. Its really good and really worth my time.

This show could have been a milestone if HBO didn't cancelled it after two seasons!

This show was insanely cool and had the potential to be one of HBO's best ever shows. Seriously, I'd take these two seasons over just about anything the premium channel has put out. There's a level of creativity and thoughtfulness that is near unheard of in TV. Unfortunately, these seasons amount to More
