I found The Dreamers a bit self-indulgent, but beautiful and provocative. I wanted the film references to continue until the end but they seem to stop mid-way through. But Bertolucci is wonderful, always.
Carnivale had such promise, but sadly had to cut things short. The end of the season works but it does feel a bit sped up. The show was very expensive so when the audience wasn't deemed large enough, the plug got pulled fast.
A colleague and I posted a CFP for an (academic) anthology of essays on the show, and got a very impressive response. When we proposed it to IB Tauris, the editors were very interested but the sales dept. could not get on board; not dissimilar to the forces at work that forced the show to cancel prematurely. Tauris has asked us to do another book for them which we're thrilled about, but we're still seeking a home for that Carnivale book. It may be too late.
