ARTS & CULTURE Amazon’s ‘Carnival Row’ is ‘tear- worthy’ ANNABELLE HARRIS [email protected]
As we continue on our ever- lasting journey to find a show that fills the gaping void left by “Game of Thrones,” pause for a moment to watch the first season of Amazon Prime’s new original series, “Carni- val Row.” This series is a melting pot of genres. For those of you who loved “Game of Thrones” you will love Carnival Row for its extensive world building and fantastical creatures. Beyond the fantasy, “Carnival Row” is set in an era reminiscent of steampunk Victorian, appealing to us who love to binge period shows like “The Alienist.” Carnival Row fantastically combines mystery and fantasy, all the while paralleling issues we face in our own society such as immigration, racism and sexism. The star-studded cast includes Orlando Bloom as soldier turned inspector, Rycroft Philostrate, from the Burge, a place much like Victo- FILE PHOTO: CHRISTIAN JOHNSON / THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN rian London.
