Carnivale was actually the first HBO show I got into. Before I even started watching Sopranos.
I think for me, the first season was all kinds of awesome, but the second didn't feel like it lived up to it.
Just to mirror other folks, there's no other show like Deadwood. And you're not likely to see one. For whatever reason (probably a century of pop-culture brainwashing...) much of the American public still romanticizes the west, and a lot of people didn't and don't like the idea that people actually cussed and ****ed and sliced and diced each other back in those days.
