Black and White and Gray Gray Gray

My husband and I were searching for movies to get on our Netflix . We decided to rent the first season of an HBO show that many of you may have seen, Carnivale . Well after a few shows, we're hooked. It's a very strange show. The characters are a bunch of what most of us would label as "misfits, freaks, etc." who travel with a carnival back during the 30's. They are the kind of people we would make snap judgements on if we saw them on the street (lizard man, bearded lady, strippers, etc.) but that's where the writers of this show have their fun. They make you question every part of your morality. What's right, what's wrong, who's evil, who's righteous, etc. I think this show tests those labels within each of us. Anyway, it's interesting enough to keep you wondering what will happen next, and also intriguing enough to make you think about it when the show is over. I give this one an A+ for creativitiy and insight. And just when you thought tv shows were senseless drivel that make us want to turn the set off but our minds are hardwired to sit there whether there's anything on or not......
