Orlando Bloom and Caradelevingne on CarnivalRow fairy sex and committing to TV
, has fawns, trolls, centaurs and faeries — and that's just in the first few minutes. The drama takes place in a fictional Victorian world where mythical creatures have fled their homeland and are living as second-class citizens in the human-populated city of The Burgue.
Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne star as Rycroft Philostrate and Vignette Stonemoss, respectively, a human detective and a newly arrived faerie who share a past — and reunite as Philostrate investigates a murder in the red light district of Carnival Row. Aside from the obvious immigration allegory, the series also touches on racism, classism and other serious issues — at the same time, it contains plenty of graphic fairy sex.
What's it like to balance the serious themes — immigration, racism, classism, sexism — with some of the absurdity of the show? Even just the character names are wild.Trying to talk about it in five minutes is impossible. It's an eight-hour show. A lot happens, but it does happen over quite a long period of time. If you tried to make it any shorter and put all of that in we would have been completely screwed. But the world is so huge, so it allows for this much to happen.
— and you seem to geek out a little bit when you're talking about this one. Are you a fan of the genre, or are you just really into your work?I'm not a "fantasy person." I like fantasy, but I don't love it more than anything else. I love all genres of movies, I like fantasy, but fantasies have more room for strong female roles. They just do.
Why TV? Obviously when you sign on for a TV show there's the potential for you to be doing it for a decade.] No — by the way, we would be lucky to be doing it for 10 years. If it was that great? Yeah, it's like, 'Hello, yes please.' I personally felt TV is the medium that is having its golden age, as it were.
