For those of you who get <a href="http://www.hbo.com/">HBO</a>, or who have pockets deep enough to buy random DVD collections @ your local electronics store; I'd suggest checking out <a href="http://www.hbo.com/carnivale/">Carnivale</a>. <strong>Carnivale</strong> takes place during the height of the Great Depression, in the great American Dustbowl. Actor <strong>Nick Stahl</strong>
(Terminator 3) plays yet again, a reluctant savior to a doomed world as
he, Ben Hawkins, joins a traveling Carnivale after the death of his
mother and the destruction of his family shack. From there, Ben Hawkins
is pressed to keep his gifts (or curse) secret, yet over time, the crew
discovers more and more about the young boys' origin and purpose.


On
the other side, we have <strong>Clancy Brown</strong> (The Shawshank Redemption)
who plays the role of Brother Justin, an evangelist who slowly builds a
massive following and begins to corrupt those around him for his
stairway to power and ultimate destruction.


Quite frankly, <strong>Carnivale</strong>
is probably one of the darkest and most unique shows I've seen in a
long time. I believe many of you would enjoy its' dark and somewhat
apocalyptic setting... So if you have a chance, watch an episode or
two. <strong>Carnivale</strong> airs on Sundays from 9-10 p.m. ET/PT (The season
1 collection is available for purchase, or&#160;watch all of season 2
On-Demand - Comcast). Check out the complete <a href="http://www.hbo.com/carnivale/cast/index.shtml">Cast listing</a>, which includes <strong>Adrienne Barbeau</strong> from, Escape From New York.
