What Is It?
Carnival Row is a new fantasy series coming to Amazon’s Prime Video streaming service which takes place in an alternative-history Victorian London where fairy tail and fantasy characters co-exist with humans, and it offers some parallels to the current political climate. Following is the official synopsis for the show:
With a serial killer loose on Carnival Row, and a government that turns a blind eye to the deaths of its lower class citizens, Rycroft Philostrate, a war-hardened investigator, is the only person willing to stop the murders and maintain the fragile peace. But when Vignette Stonemoss, a faerie refugee, turns up in the Burgue, she forces Philo to reckon with a past he’s tried to forget.
