Jamie Harris as Dombey in CARNIVAL ROW - Season 2 | ©2023 Prime Video

In CARNIVAL ROW, now streaming its second and final season on Prime Video, faeries and humans share a world that resembles eighteenth-century Europe. Many have settled in the Burgue, where some of the Fae and some of the humans would like to coexist in peace. However, a lot of them hate each other. Jamie Harris plays virulently anti-Fae human police officer Sergeant Dombey, and Jay Ali plays the adamantly anti-human Fae freedom fighter/terrorist Kaine. Their personal animosity is particularly fierce, as Dombey killed Kaine’s wife. In reality, Ali and Harris are good friends, which comes across in their separate but […]Read On »

As a bonus, it also has a good premise, but it tends to bog down in logic gaps and repetitive riffs. At Brooke’s Hardware Store, we see employee Keith (Angel Hilton) fearfully searching what […]Read On »
