As lockdown was announced again you could hear the groans nationwide as people scrolled through their Netflix and Amazon accounts, looking for something new to watch. There are thousands of shows out there worth a watch but one that is currently missing is the second instalment of Carnival Row. WHERE THE HELL IS IT?

It hasn’t been cancelled (Thank God) but rather it has been delayed due to coronavirus affecting filming. The question remains, what is going to happen in series two? The first series was full of mystery and plot twists that would have taken the wiliest of viewers by surprise. They truly delivered in a mouth-watering masterpiece of a fantasy drama.

Like all good series it leaves you wanting more with many unanswered questions. Who would have thought? It’s almost like they do it on purpose.

If you have not seen series one, do not read this article… yet. Binge watch it and then come back here later, if you have seen it, you have good taste and I hope you enjoy.

10. The Pact

Considering the Pact are the villains of the programme, we know very little about them. All we know is that they are rivals of the Burgue, conquered Fae lands in a brutal fashion and are hated by the Fae folk. So, basically nothing.

For series two it would be great to have more of an insight into the Pact so the programme can really push them as the hated villains they have the potential to be.

One of the best episodes is the flashback to Tirnanoc, partly because this is all we see of the Pact. Firstly, they injected their own soldiers with the ‘Wolfs Curse’ in a barbaric tactic showing the depths that they would stoop to. They then invade in Airships and bomb the Fae stronghold. It is an awesome display of sheer evil and showcases the firepower that the Pact have.

The only problem is that we need more. Who is in charge of the Pact? What are their aims? Are they all evil, or just the leaders? A story involving members of the Pact would help to answer these questions and provide better understanding of the situation. Plus, everyone loves an evil villain, we just need to know who they are.
