Last Days on Earth (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Most people would think of this as depressing..but I found it very interesting. It reminds me that whatever little problems I have going on in my life..it could be worse and they're just not that important in the long run. The interviews were very interesting and the information was well thought out. I loved the CG graphics and explanations and overall just really enjoyed watching this.

Carnivale: The Complete Second Season (2003) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Season two of this amazing series saw a shift in gears as far as the direction of the show. Season one, while a masterpiece, suffered critical hits for taking too long to develop, and thus, perhaps lost some viewership. The not-so-well-kept secret is that time it took to craft the characters is exactly what true fans of the series enjoyed.
Some of the deep mystery and magic is gone from the second season, in favor of moving the plot along, but series creator Dan Knauf was so adept at his craft that he never allowed the series to become ho-hum and typical like other network series that delve into fantasy and science fiction.
What ultimately killed this series was two-fold. 1. It lost viewers who didn't want to be bothered with trying to figure the mystery out instead of having it handed to them on a platter and 2. executives who lost their vision as to what the show stood for and didn't recognize the art for what it was.
This show has created a cult following matched by few others in it's genre. True fans who cry out for more while keeping the vision alive in our minds. Hopefully one day our wishes will be fulfilled, but until then we have memories and two excellant seasons to enjoy.
