No other television series has been so steeped in history, spirituality and occultism, and years later it retains a cult-like following. Despite an ambitious and unusual storyline, remarkable production design and stellar cast, the show was cancelled after only two seasons. HBO's Carnivale was a critically-acclaimed, elaborate period narrative set in Depression era America that set the stage for the current explosion of cinematic storytelling on television. This collection of fresh essays explores the series through a diverse array of topics, from visual aesthetics to tarot symbolism to sexuality to the portrayal of deformity.
