I just finished watching S1E1 of Carnival Row.
I'm impressed with the smooth CGI that they managed to pull off.
The casting is pretty good. Orlando Bloom's fame doesn't get in
the way.
The floating sex scene is practically identical to the one in
Expanse S1E1. They must have borrowed the same harnesses. ;)
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.
