Carnival Row Has Fairy Sex But Also an Important Story to Tell

Of course you'll need to watch from the beginning to get the full story of the Burgue, a city populated by both humans and mythical creatures who have fled their homelands, bursting with tension between the citizens and the immigrant population, and unrest over a series of unsolved murders that Philo is trying to solve, but if you're primarily interested in finding out what happens to faerie wings during sex, there's episode three for you. 

The show might feel like something that's based on a book a la Game of Thrones, but it actually was originally a film script created by writer Travis Beacham, who dreamt up the whole thing in his college dorm a decade ago, as Bloom reminded us at the show's premiere. 

"I hadn't read anything like this," he told E! News' Erin Lim about why he wanted to sign on to the project. "Obviously Lord of the Rings had this incredible IP and this amazing book that we could use as a bible, and this was like this brain child of Travis Beacham, his dormitory fantasy brain, which is kind of fantastical, right?"
