I am watching Carnivale now, what a strange show.
I like it.

Haven't seen enough episodes to know what is really going on.

2. Yes.
I need to watch it tonight so I can mail the dvd tomorrow.

This the kind show you have to watch very closely.

3. LOVE it! I actually bought the DVD so I could watch again.
I wish they'd really finished it, but even so it's wonderful. And I love a carnival, especially a really creepy one!

4. I am just watching the 3rd episode first season.
This is like Dead Like Me, a good show that was killed off.

7. HBO and the critics killed it
The first season was awesome. It was slow and set up a bunch of questions to be answered slowly over the planned six-year run of the series. It was like reading a book, where each chapter adds a little bit to the overall meaning.

Then the critics got involved. "Why so many questions, and no answers?" Bleagh. So HBO made them start answering questions too early in the second season.

And then the critics said, "Why are you answering all the questions? Where's the mystery?"

:wtf: critics. You ruined my favourite show of all time.

8. It definitely takes a few episodes to get into the flow
I remember trying to watch it when it first aired and I gave up after just a few minutes. Then, when it came back around, I gave it more attention and stuck with it and was richly rewarded.

One of my favorites.

9. Funny. I just said this was one of my favs in another thread about shows that were great but no one
watched.

And I also referenced Dead Like Me.

Two really great shows that didn't get their due (and I'll throw in Pushing Daisies to make it three).
