Game of Thrones left a huge vacuum when it ended in mid-May, with every studio under the sun trying to come up with the next Game of Thrones. HBO has at least one in the works, His Dark Materials, although it’s Netflix’s The Witcher that may be the most anticipated Thrones replacement of the year. That’s only because Amazon’s massive TV series based on The Lord of the Rings hasn’t even started filming and won’t be ready for quite some time.
Until The Witcher drops, there’s one more Game of Thrones alternative you should be aware of — a fantasy, action-packed drama called Carnival Row. It might look like it’s trying too hard to be the next Thrones if you only watch the trailers. That doesn’t mean, however, that Carnival Row isn’t an enjoyable show, or that it has to be the next Game of Thrones to succeed. All I know is that, after going through half of the first season, I can’t wait to see how it ends, and whether it warrants any attention after that. And the more I watch it, I realize I’m just too biased, and it’s not necessarily fair to compare Travis Beacham’s story to HBO’s biggest hit or any of these other Thrones alternatives.
