Carnivàle () is an American television series set in the United States Dust Bowl during the Great Depression of the 1930s. The series, created by Daniel Knauf for HBO, ran for two seasons from September 7, 2003 to March 27, 2005. In tracing the lives of disparate groups of people in a traveling carnival, Knauf's story combined a bleak atmosphere with elements of the surreal in portraying struggles between good and evil and between free will and destiny. The show's mythology draws upon themes and motifs from traditional Christianity and gnosticism together with Masonic lore, particularly that of the Knights Templar order. Nick Stahl starred as Ben Hawkins, and Clancy Brown as Brother Justin Crowe. Knauf also served as executive producer along with Ronald D. Moore and 3 Arts Entertainment's Howard Klein. The show was filmed in Santa Clarita, California, and nearby Southern California locations. Early reviews praised Carnivàle for style and originality but questioned the approach and execution...
