Carnivàle

I read about this in SFX magazine last year and waited for it to show up on cable. It did but on the FX channel which I only started getting after series 1 was halfway through, so I went out and bough the DVD boxset from Forbidden Planet yesterday. The review in SFX said it was brilliant and kind of off-kilter, David Lynch style, Twin Peaks madness set in 1930's dustbowl America, battle between light and darkness. How couls I resist? Anyhoo, started watching ep1, nice slow, easy pace, just enough to get you into the characters. Ok I'll watch the next one as well, then 4 hours later at about 2 in the morning I managed to switch it off for the good of my mental health. Excellent.
