Carnivale on FX289 (UK)

[ddvmor]

I keep seeing teaser trailers for Carnivale on FX289 here in the UK, but none of them have said when the series is going to start. Anyone happen to know? More to the point, has anyone seen the series - am I waiting to be disappointed?

This was a show my wife and I faithfully watched when HBO ran it here. We both thought it was great, obviously. Magic and wierdnes was subtle and freaky, the hard times atmosphere of the US Depression era was well captured, and the characters had depth (even the one that had, I think, one (1) line all season long). The pacing was sometimes slower than I would have liked, but that's about the worst thing I can say about it. There's still a boat load of questions left unanswered at the season's closing episode, so we're looking forward to season II, but there were also some great resolutions.

Woohoo.
In case anyone was wondering, I've found the answer! Carnivale starts this Sunday (5th September) at 9pm on FX289 with a double bill.
Ok. That's it. I'll be quiet, now!

What's Carnivale?

Dunno yet - haven't seen it, but the reviews are pretty good. Ask me again on Monday morning, Bro!

(P.S. I saw that little teapot prank - it's not big and it's not clever... nobody's laughing... er.. except him.. and him.. oh and them over there...)

It's a HBO show, Morrus. I've captured them but haven't watched them yet.
