CARNIVALE (USED ) COMPLETE FIRST SEASON

Carnivàle: The Complete First Season

This 6-disc DVD set from HBO captures the beginning of a complex, myth-heavy battle between good and evil.

• About the Series: Set during the Great Depression’s Dust Bowl, the show follows Ben Hawkins, a young man with healing powers who joins a traveling carnival, and Brother Justin Crowe, a preacher in California with his own dark abilities. The show is known for its dense internal mythology involving "Avatars"—human manifestations of light and darkness.

• Significance: Though it only ran for two seasons (2003–2005), it is considered a precursor to modern "prestige" fantasy TV like Westworld.
