‘Carnival Row’
Amazon’s Carnival Row is a lavish and ambitious original fantasy series set in a world where faeries and fauns are considered the dregs of society. After a brutal war forces the fae out of their homeland, they must struggle to survive in the Carnival Row section of a human metropolis called The Burgue. There we meet a detective named Rycroft “Philo” Philostrate (Orlando Bloom) who is tasked with solving a grisly murder. Complicating things is the recent arrival of his former faerie fling, Vignette Stonemoss (Cara Delevingne). Vignette thought Philo was dead and is now embittered by the betrayal. Nevertheless, in Carnival Row, love conquers all. This over-the-top series is imaginative and complex, and romantic to the bitter end.
