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.

The series continues to prioritize uncomplicated politicking over cohesive storytelling. Read our review. Go to Full Review Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu 08/27/2023
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 Go to Full Review Alison Lanier Pajiba 03/03/2023
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. Go to Full Review Scott Campbell We Got This Covered 02/23/2023
2.5/5
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. Go to Full Review Michael T. Stack TV Fanatic 02/21/2023

Alexandros P @RT78703397 Jun 25 It was an OK series, with interesting world building and good GFX. But the last episode was sd bad that it ruined the whole thing. Showing stuff without backgroung, cheap CGI, all sorts of rushed storypatching. I've never seen a worse finale and I've watched GoT... See more Happy A @RT11846098 10/14/2024 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. See more Jeffrey O. @jeff_o27 10/14/2024 The second season is actually quite amazing i only wish this show wouldve continued... but covid killed it See more Juan R @RT04051993 07/06/2024 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. See more Artur N @RT16837834 07/02/2024 The series has its ups and downs, but the script offers some refreshing turnarounds that makes the whole experience enjoyable. See more Angelo P @Pinho 06/12/2024 I liked this show but I felt that the end was rushed. See more Read all reviews
