Update..

I'm starting E5, next.

I am getting invested in the characters and the underlying  
subplots.

Carnival Row is a world of mythical fae(ries) and monsters set  
in a kind of Victorian era steampunk world amongst the humans.  
The mood, darkness and action is pretty good actually.

E1 starts off with a fairly dramatic chase scene.  Although the  
fae(ries) play a prominent role and their ability to fly around  
is useful in many respects, it's not the sole special effect -  
and it's used quite sparingly so as not to detract from the true  
storyline.

E4 revealed the "players" involved in a subplot. How that one  
will or will not be related to the whole is yet unknown. But the  
pace of the reveal sofar was good timing.

Carnival Row is definately not for the kiddies primarily for the  
interplay of sex every once in a while, but even the sex seems  
to be relevant in this one.
