It’s always been a weird feeling {that a show you loved is ending, yet it seems the parents behind “Carnival Row” knew the top was coming and wrote a second season That might cover the issues, but at least to a point. The Season 1 ending left the entire collection in turmoil, so Season 2 has plenty of potential for attention-grabbing twists and turns that will come to a satisfying conclusion. Not every current “Doctor Who” has to be and last forever, you know. Be thankful — you may be a “Westworld” superfan at the moment, with the world’s worst cliffhanger always on your mind.
Season 2 of “Carnival Row” appears to have taken some cues from critics of the primary season, delving into the new story and tweaking the formulation a bit. While the collection will still be about Delevingne’s FA Rebel vignette and quasi-FAE Inspector Philo (Bloom), it appears that they too are building on the Collection’s Rebel subplots, and will hopefully round out the rest of the characters in Fae. Ghetto a little extra. Either way, Season 2 should be an attention-grabbing spectacle of fairy wings, freedom fighters, and thin-skinned allegory. My biggest challenge with this series was the lack of chemistry between the two leads, so seeing that the focus could be on the other characters makes me all the more eager to watch the second and remaining seasons. Sometimes it’s refreshing to know when a factor ends.
The second season of “Carnival Row” will premiere in full on Prime Video on February 17, 2023.
