Stop Everything You’re Doing And Watch Carnival Row RIGHT NOW
This isn’t a drill. Carnival Row is the best dang show I think I have ever seen and you have to watch it right the heck now.
Carnival Row is an Amazon original series (which means, if you have Amazon Prime, then you can watch it for free on pretty much any device you own) starring Cara Delevingne and Orlando Bloom.
Basically the premise is that Cara is a fairy in 7th century England. (Or like, somewhere England-like.) And, I know that sounds weird, and honestly it almost turned me off the show all together, except she’s like this dark, gritty badass fairy that you want to be best friends with.
And Orlando Bloom is this super cool try-hard cop always looking out for the little man–which in this case is the fae.
It’s like this dark deep fairy tale that you can’t help but watch, and it will have you sucked in from about four seconds into the show. There’s jump scares that had me almost peeing my pants, spooky scary elements hiding in the dark, fairy brothels with rainbow haired fae, and even a basilisk.
This show has EVERYTHING and I can’t get enough of it. It’s one of those shows that I want to just drop spill the entire plot to you right now so you know just how amazing it is, but I also really want you to watch it, so I am saying NOTHING.
So, even if you aren’t into high fantasy, stop what you are doing, and GO RIGHT NOW to watch Carnival Row. You will be so glad you did.
