̧ưƔʖаȢưƔǺɛФ30 August/Amazon VideoIf you ever thought Sherlock Holmes could do with some faeries,
you better get your ass on the couch on 30 August and stream
Amazon’s latest fantasy series Carnival Row.
Set in a fantastical city known as the Burgue during the
Victorian era, the series follows a set of mythical creature
refugees that have been forced to flee their war-torn homeland,
and the struggles they face when tensions begin to rise between
themselves and the city’s born-and-raised citizens.
Cara Delevingne stars as Vignette Stonemoss, one of the
faeries to flee their home, while Orlando Bloom plays Rycroft
Philostrate, a bowler hat-wearing human detective. With two
famously sexy Brits leading the cast, it’s obviously not long before
Vignette and Rycroft begin an illicit affair in a new take on the
classic forbidden love storyline. But this time, a few murder
mysteries are thrown into the mix when a faery showgirl is killed
on Carnival Row, and the pair must beat the clock to solve them
before the city descends into complete chaos.Alfred’s journey from
