Carnival Row

[Drunk Monk]

Watched another ep and a half. I was falling asleep in the second one because this was a sleepless week what with the storm, fence repairs, early telemeets, and the rush article. Still amused but not overwhelmed.

Man, does this show love entrails. A pix (pixie) named Tourmaline gets possessed by a dying witch and starts having visions - these are triggered by groping entrails. I think there’s been entrail close ups in every s2 ep so far. I should make it into a drinking game.

There’s a new twist with Imogen (the pampered rich princess) and Agreus (the rich faun). They had to flee because of their interspecies love (she’s white and he’s black making the metaphor transparent). They’ve been captured by a commie commune, bringing communism into what has been a show about fascism (the humans) oppression of ‘the other’ (fae folk). Carnival Row is the ghetto now concentration camp where the fae folk are incarcerated. 

I’m kinda hoping this final season will end with everyone dying, not because I hate it but because it would be a final note to go out on. Death by tentacle strangulation would be good.
