Carnival Row

Synopsis

In Carnival Row, we find ourselves in a magical world where fairies, fauns, werewolves, and kobolds live next to ordinary people. It all might look like a fairy tale. However, things are not so simple in the world of Carnival Row. An aggressive realm had conquered the lands of fairies and fauns, so mythical creatures became refugees and immigrants of which ordinary people are not very fond.

Before us is the city of Burgue, in which mysterious and brutal murders take place. In the course of his investigation, Police Inspector Rycroft Philostrate (Orlando Bloom) encounters his former love, the fairy Vignette (Cara Delevingne). Old feelings are reawakened, and a love drama joins the detective story.

The creators of Carnival Row are sometimes overly addicted to the romantic story and social overtones, which has caused some criticism. On the other hand, the series showcases a fascinating idea of a magical world with beautiful visuals, which we hope the showrunners will continue to develop in the new season.
