    Hello All..

    I just finished watching S1E1 of Carnival Row.

    I'm impressed with the smooth CGI that they managed to pull off.

    The casting is pretty good. Orlando Bloom's fame doesn't get in
    the way.

    The floating sex scene is practically identical to the one in
    Expanse S1E1. They must have borrowed the same harnesses. ;)

    Update..

    I'm starting E5, next.

    I am getting invested in the characters and the underlying
    subplots.

    Carnival Row is a world of mythical fae(ries) and monsters set
    in a kind of Victorian era steampunk world amongst the humans.
    The mood, darkness and action is pretty good actually.

    E1 starts off with a fairly dramatic chase scene. Although the
    fae(ries) play a prominent role and their ability to fly around
    is useful in many respects, it's not the sole special effect -
    and it's used quite sparingly so as not to detract from the true
    storyline.

    E4 revealed the "players" involved in a subplot. How that one
    will or will not be related to the whole is yet unknown. But the
    pace of the reveal sofar was good timing.

    Carnival Row is definately not for the kiddies primarily for the
    interplay of sex every once in a while, but even the sex seems
    to be relevant in this one.
