Carnival Row

A human detective and a fairy rekindle a dangerous affair in a Victorian fantasy world, where the city's uneasy peace collapses when a string of murders reveals an unimaginable monster.

Holy cow! First The Boys and now this?! Bright done right.

Pretty much everything about this show is amazing. The sets, actors, atmosphere, plot, characters... Writing is top notch, dialogue is amazing and it all works so well together. This show is nothing short of stellar.

10/10

It looks like Amazon is really stepping up its game and is now producing shows to rival HBO.

Oshin - This is one of the best shows I've ever watched. It follows a young girl living in poverty throughout her whole life to a successful supermarket owner. There's such a huge number of people she meets along the way and they're all so interesting, well acted and sincere. Been watching it since early this year, going to be sad when it's over.

Six Feet Under - After I finished The Wire I thought I'd check out other old HBO series and heard good things about this. Watched about six episodes but don't think I'll continue. Despite some sharp and funny writing, the people in it just creep me out too much. Everyone is so emotionally stunted it seems like. Reminds me too much of my extended family.

Neon Genesis Evangelion - Think I would have LOVED this show during horny emo teenage years. Really captures the feel of being a depressed teenager and has good amount of gratuitous fan service. Not getting much out of it though, no real interest to find out what happens next. It's visually gorgeous and I like how it dwells slowly on scenes rather than having tons of quick cuts like you see nowadays.

Watching the Sopranos now and enjoying it quite a bit.

What do you think of Carnival Row?

+ Show Spoiler +

I just watched the whole season 1: I have to say it got me intrigued and I quite liked it. There are some aspects that do not convince me completely, the family and political intrigues I think are a bit far fetched and not so plausible, but if you suspend some of the logical critic to some moves, it's an enjoyable story. I found the world building quite convincing and the characters well rounded.
I do think some of the actors are not the best, especially with the natural comparison with Game of Thrones (I don't want to compare the two series, which are at the end different in scope, but just the acting of some of the main characters... with actors like sean bean, lena headey, peter dinklage and conleth hill it's really hard to have a fair fight

)
To be honest at the beginning I was a bit skeptical of Cara Delevigne and Orlando Bloom, though at the end I think they work out well for the story.. on the other end the scenes with sophie and jonah feel all a bit over-acted and too dramatic..)
