6. Carnival Row

Carnival Row is sort of Amazon’s answer to Game of Thrones. It is a neo-noir fantasy series with a high production value starring Cara Delevingne and Orlando Bloom. Bloom plays a detective who uncovers a grisly murder on Carnival Row, home to many members of the fae community who are discriminated against by the humans.

There are multiple mythical creatures in the series and a lot of different plotlines to follow. It’s a fun show and easy to get sucked into. It has been renewed for a second season.
