Carnivàle
 

I just finished watching the entire series (2 seasons). I'm greatly pissed off that this was cancelled. Best show I've seen in a long while. :mad:
Daniel Knauf's plan was to make a 6 season show, divided into 3 'books', going from the great depression/dustbowl time to the end of WW2. Every book would be two seasons long, so we've only seen book one so far.

I really hope HBO will bring it back. There are rumors of a miniseries or feature film...

i too really enjoyed both seasons of carnivale and was sad to see it get cancelled. there's so much potential for good stories given how things play out at the end of the last episode ;)

Re: Carnivàle
 

oh damn, only two seasons? I'm just about finishing up the second season now and I found it amazing, was hoping there would be more to come...
Best thing I saw since Deadwood.
What's with cancelling all the great shows?

Re: Carnivàle
 

Well, the ratings dropped and the show became more expensive to produce. It's a bloody shame. :(

Re: Carnivàle
 

I bought the 2 seasons today, maybe because it's the only quality television series I missed when played(I just saw the 5 first episodes).

Re: Carnivàle
 

Expensive = quality. It had an incredible storyline and was shot very cinematically, based on how shots were framed. I was wowed by last summer, and although there was some closure on the last episode, there was still much to be explored in the following seasons.

Re: Carnivàle
 

the story I'd always heard was that Knauf's blueprint was to have three 2-season stories amounting to a 6-season show... so the next season would've been nearly completely different anyway... and due to cost/viewers/whatever HBO decided to end it at 2 rather than 4 or 6.

Just finished this. both seasons, in a week's time, I was so hooked. They pulled liberally from literature and the bible. therese raquine, matthew lewis's the monk, the grapes of wrath, are the books I could identify. by far the best television show ever made.
