About this product

Product Information

Like a cross between TWIN PEAKS and THE GRAPES OF WRATH, HBO's acclaimed television drama CARNIVALE sets an allegorical fable about the mythic battle between good and evil against the surreal backdrop of a Depression-era traveling circus. Having lost both his farm and his mother to the 1930s Dust Bowl, prison escapee Ben Hawkins (Nick Stahl, IN THE BEDROOM) joins an itinerant carnival in a desperate bid to escape poverty, the police, and his own discomfort with his miraculous healing powers. Ben's story is juxtaposed with that of California preacher Justin Crowe (Clancy Brown, THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION), whose evangelical ministries with his sister, Iris (Amy Madigan), take on increasingly sinister overtones and hint at an eventual confrontation between himself and young Hawkins through the mysterious figure of former circus showman and WWI veteran Henry Scudder (John Savage). As the main story arc builds to its apocalyptic showdown, the series takes dramatic detours into the daily lives of the carnival denizens. Lorded over by the unseen "Management" and a dwarf named Samson (TWIN PEAKS' Michael J. Anderson), the ragtag collection of sideshow freaks includes the blind soothsayer, Lodz (Patrick Bauchau); the bearded lady, Lila (Debra Christofferson); the snake charmer, Ruthie (Adrienne Barbeau); the troubled fortuneteller, Sophie (Clea DuVall); her catatonic mother, Apollonia (Diane Salinger); the wounded former-baseball player-turned-roustabout, Jonesy (Tim DeKay); and a family of strippers and prostitutes comprised of mother Rita Sue (Cynthia Ettinger), her daughters Libby (Carla Gallo) and Dora Mae (Amanda Aday), and their pimp-like father, Stumpy (Toby Huss). Creator Daniel Knauf surrounds this impressive cast with impeccable period-piece production design, a rotating roster of directorial talent that includes Alison Maclean (JESUS' SON) and Rodrigo Garcia (son of magical-realist writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez), and innovative storytelling that is at once supremely creepy, intellectually provocative, and emotionally gripping. This collection includes all 12 episodes of the series' highly addictive first season.

    Great seller! USPS list the package and the seller was great about communicating and ultimately refunded my money promptly when it became clear the cards would not be delivered. Would gladly do business with this seller in the future!

    I ordered these items and they never arrived - appeared to be an issue with USPS, not the Seller's fault. The Seller had another set so I requested a replacement instead of a refund, and Seller agreed. I received the replacement ahead of expected time and was very happy with both the item I ordered and the Seller's great customer service. Thank you again!

    Good value, but not perfect.

    I loved to watch this series when it was on HBO years ago and thought I'd like to see it again. For the price you can't go wrong. but these are copies and you get what you pay for. The first dvd keep stopping and jumped ahead of the story when it started up again. The rest of the discs played ok with no problems. So if you liked the show on TV, this will be a good refresher of the very interesting characters.

  • Very entertaining!

    I never got the chance to see this when it came out. My wife and I both like dramas/mysteries with a supernatural twist. But the story needs to be carried by good writing and not by the actors doing out of character behavior just for the shock value. Luckily, Carnival is the former. I just wish that it had lasted for more than two sessions.

  • Very entertaining!

    Great creepy carny life. Good take on human frailties and hypocrisies. takes on small town life and evangelists. The war of good and evil.

  • Carnival

    Gotta find out what happens next! Rather dark though. Need second ( and last ) season! Wish it was not cancelled before the story finished.

  • Magnificent

    One of the best series to ever be on HBO, sadly they pulled the plug on it too fast. The story is challenging with beliefs of good and evil. There will never be a 3rd season, but sure there is that the only existent 2 will charm you and make you happy with the story exposed by the characters. If you have the chance to get it do it, its worth any price on this underrated series.
