Avatars (Carnivàle)

Carnivàle is an American television series set in the United States during the Great Depression. The show aired on HBO between 2003 and 2005 and traces the disparate storylines of a young carnival worker named Ben Hawkins and a preacher named Brother Justin Crowe. The mythology of the story is built around a good and evil theme, which serves as a human-scaled metaphor within in a complex structure of myth and allegory. The character of Samson, the dwarf manager of the carnival, is the first to hint at the story's background and future. His monologue in the pilot episode sets up the show's mythology.
