Summary: great series
Comment: I loved each episode of this series. It's not like most shows. It packs in a lot of plot and interesting background, which is probably why they canceled it. This season wraps up most loose ends, but not all. Don't expect to feel satisfied at the end. Another thing to keep in mind is that this show has fair amount of violence. You probably don't want to watch this right before bed time. This is coming from a guy who's seen many horror shows. The characters are all interesting, too. They went to a lot of work to flesh them all out.

Summary: Wildly Original Drama ...
Comment: I've seen the two seasons and was disappointed there wouldn't be a third. This is such a creative serial, while not for pre-teens, I'm astonished some reviews dare to compare this to porn. Much has already been written of the plot and brilliant production. It is a period piece of the timeless battle of good and evil set in what seem to be the 'dark ages' of Americana. This is one series that will mesmerise and hold you captive until you watch all there is and then wish there were more.

Summary: A Mythic Story; A Realistic Canvas
Comment: The first thing that drew me into this series was the setting; the 1930's dustbowl in the American Midwest. The second things was the vehicle of a carnival. The third thing was the 'tag' about the time period being the last age of magic. I was not prepared, however, for the mythic scope of the story and the depth of background created by the writers for characters and plot. This series is 'mythic' in the sense that it attempts to tell-again the story of antique, cosmic themes (specifically the struggle of 'light' and 'dark;' 'good' and 'evil'), yet brings them to manifest narrative form on a unique stage; with characters drawn from rural Americana; gritty and full of moral and existential ambiguities.
This is the first of two seasons that were completed before the show was cancelled. Without giving anything away, I can say that the story is intruiguing, well-written, full of salient revelations and considerations, and deeply satisfying. The end of the second season completes one "arc" in the original six-season plot-line the writers had worked out. As such, it doesn't leave you hanging; rather, it leaves you at a fecund juncture in the story, having resolved enough to satisfy, while portending much more to come (which you can imagine for yourself, as the show was cancelled). There is so little good television; this series is one of a handful of really outstanding dramas.
