Review section
[edit]As noted in August 2024 by RetiredDuke, this 2007 FA is sourced primarily to contemporary news reports. However, there is significant high-quality sourcing available which discusses in detail the article subject and its themes, many of which are not mentioned in the article. I reproduce Retired Duke's original non-exhaustive list:
- State of Play: Contemporary “high-end” TV drama
- disability in the series - Different bodies: Essays on disability in film and television
- unconventional story-telling - It's Not TV: Watching HBO in the Post-Television Era
- a full chapter called "Reevaluating Memory and Identity through Daniel Knauf's Carnivále" about time in the series narrative - Time in Television Narrative: Exploring Temporality in Twenty-First-Century Programming
- as a work of the horror genre - TV Horror: Investigating the Darker Side of the Small Screen
- as a work of TV noir - The Philosophy of TV Noir
- as a work of Americana - Folk Horror Revival
- analysis of the series finale - Television Finales: From Howdy Doody to Girls
Thus, the article does not meet the FA criteria's requirements for "comprehensivity" and "a thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature". ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 18:56, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the ping. What I can see is that there is significant coverage of this show in scholarly literature (about mythology, the occult, portrayals of the body ("non-normative bodies", "freak show"), temporal structures, etc.) and none of it is reflected in the article.
