About

Carnivàle is an American television series set in the United States during the Great Depression and Dust Bowl. In tracing the lives of two disparate groups of people, its overarching story depicts the battle between good and evil and the struggle between free will and destiny; the storyline mixes Christian theology with gnosticism and Masonic lore, particularly that of the Knights Templar.
Dust Bowl grit meets biblical mysticism in this surreal landscape of traveling carnivals and prophetic shadows. It trades typical sci-fi tropes for a dense, hallucinatory battle between ancient forces of light and dark.
