    There’s an awful lot of other stuff going on. The criticisms levelled at series one apply here too. But whatever problems it has, it looks like a million dollars.

    Bland intrigue, a lack of mystery, and too little time spent with its best characters has sapped this show’s magic and left only dour drama behind.

    Storytelling shortcomings once again cut Carnival Row off at the knees, yielding an ultimately frustrating experience when a massive volume of ingenuity, inventiveness, and ambition is undone by the simplest aspects of spinning a yarn.

    Stream it, but only if you really loved Season 1 of Carnival Row. The first episode of its final season is a big mess storywise, and doesn’t help viewers catch up from a first season that seems like it debuted eons ago.

    The creative team smartly kept the show’s universe manageable with tightly interwoven arcs, but the second season doesn’t retain that focus. Thus, the most promising character arcs grind to confounding halts, leaving key conflicts unresolved and ultimately failing to justify the inclusion of these subplots at all.

    Hanno preso tutto quello che è stato creato nella prima stagione lo hanno buttato nel secchio e dato fuoco, tutto questo per i soliti motivi lgbtq

    Very good.
    Season 2 came late but it's a good continuation.
    It gives conclusion to previuos story and add new things. As usual: Splendid
    Very good.
    Season 2 came late but it's a good continuation.
    It gives conclusion to previuos story and add new things.
    As usual: Splendid visuals, Dark urban setting, investigations, steampunk vibe, social thematic and a sprinkle of horror
    Last episode isn't great...but overall it's a show that it's worth your time.
    Give it a try (after seeing Season 1)
