Without going into glorious details of how amazing this show is, let me just say I feel it is hands down the best show on television: acting, production design/art, cinematography, direction, plot development, characters, story arcs this show has it all!God forbid we had a show that was well developed and made us think but of course hbo had to go and ruin that be getting rid of Carnivale. They will be sorry though, many are upset if this is indeed the end of the show and many are actually getting rid of hbo because of it.This dvd is amazing I can't wait for the season 2 set we could only hope that hbo realizes what they have and brings this show back they at least owe it to the fans to allow it to go somewhere else then if they ar stupid to realize what they have! Carnivale was treated awful putting brand new episodes up aginst the super bowl, the oscars, the grammys etc. and little ad campaign. Shame on you hbo shame on you!
