Carnival Row

Carnival Row (2019) 

It is, as mentioned in the description, a neo-noir fantasy. With all its ups and downs. From its ups I would emphasize the fact that the creators turned Prague and the Czech Republic into an incredible fantasy world called Tirnanoc. I really enjoyed some shots. Mainly shots of Prague and then Prachov Rocks. It looks almostas epicas if this fantasy series was to our country what The Lord of the Rings was to New Zealand. It is just a pity that the story line is boring. Orlando Bloom portrays an investigator and tries to be a detective in a detective series with noir elements. But I think it doesn’t fit the overall premise even though I’ve forced myself to finish the series. Eventually I realized that I had watched the series more out of respect for Orlando Bloom and his fondness for the Czech Republic than out of genuine enjoyment. I don’t know, I find it needlessly slow-paced with a lot of dialogues and unnecessary erotic scenes. I don’t know if I’m going to watch the second season. (22.10.2020)
