I think that's the problem with Carnivale in a nutshell: not that its second season doesn't work, so much as that they didn't get any future seasons to finish telling the story they were mapping in season two. That said, the season does have quicker pace -- and not exactly in a good way -- from the first, which smacks a little as a response to network notes. ("The show is too slow! Characters go a whole season and never meet!")
Still, it was a fascinating and wonderful show. I can't recommend it enough -- with the caveat, though, that it will ultimately frustrate because it just ends.

Now I want to go and revisit the show...
