A growing population of mythological immigrant creatures struggles to coexist with humans after the creatures' exotic homelands are invaded by the empires of man. The creatures are forbidden to live, love or fly with freedom, but hope lives in darkness. Human detective Rycroft "Philo" Philostrate and a refugee faerie, Vignette Stonemoss, rekindle a dangerous affair despite being in an increasingly intolerant society. Vignette has a secret that endangers Philo's world during his most important case yet -- a string of gruesome murders threatening the uneasy peace of the Row.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Even more uneven than before, Carnival Row's second season doesn't lack for ambition, but its endless sprawl of subplots mostly dovetail into a storytelling dead end.

Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News The world-building and mythology at play in Carnival Row is captivating and seductive, sounding alarms about today’s world. Rated: 3/4 Feb 15, 2023 Full Review Hayden Mears Slant Magazine The series continues to prioritize uncomplicated politicking over cohesive storytelling. Read our review. Rated: 2/4 Feb 15, 2023 Full Review Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu With some judicious editing, tighter control on the many plots and sharper focus, ‘Carnival Row’ would have been truly path-breaking instead of just being the gorgeously mounted curiosity it is Aug 27, 2023 Full Review Alison Lanier Pajiba Carnival Row has transcended the glossy vanity project label and conjured some truly solid fantasy, telling dark and dangerous stories in the fantastical social allegory that the genre plays with so well. Mar 3, 2023 Full Review Scott Campbell We Got This Covered Much like the first season, 'Carnival Row' delivers fascinating mythology, immaculate world-building and dazzling visuals, which still isn't enough to compensate for a plodding narrative that spins its wheels far too regularly. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 23, 2023 Full Review Michael T. Stack TV Fanatic Carnival Row lost some of its urgency but kept most of its intimacy. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 21, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Happy A The second season falls way short of the potential the show had. bailing on the project because of covid seems like a excuse to me. with everyone at home it would have gone way up in popularity. it deserved more then what it got and because i know it could have been better and gone for longer it fell short for me. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Jeff o Although not as good as the first season. The second was actually pretty good Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Juan R Excelente continuación y mejora de la trama buenos cambios o evolución de personajes, así como un excelente manejo de la narrativa y los diálogos, increíble guion, buenos efectos prácticos y espectaculares actuaciones, todo en torno de una buena historia. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/06/24 Full Review Artur N The series has its ups and downs, but the script offers some refreshing turnarounds that makes the whole experience enjoyable. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/02/24 Full Review Brain S Wrapped the show up nicely. Would have been nice to have it not so rushed, but I appreciate the show giving us a true ending. I will miss this world. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/25/24 Full Review Angelo P I liked this show but I felt that the end was rushed. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
