Carnivale on HBO

[[censored]]

Has anyone followed this show from the beginning? If so could you provide a synopsis of story between the Priest and the main character. I have watched about the last 5 episdoes but still do not have much of a clue as to what is going on.

thanks

They have never met, but are instinctly drawn to each other. If you've watched the past 5 shows, you have seen that the Priest is the son of "Management" and Ben Hawkins is the son of Henry Scudder, who "Managment" has been actively trying to find.

The two of them are essentially "Good" vs. "Evil" and are destined to meet in some sort of apocalyptic showdown, and the development of the H-bomb seems to be somewhat involved.

I've seen every episode from the beginning of the series, and it's sometimes hard for me to follow. They've been intentionally vague with it, and have drawn out the eventual meeting for a long time. You have to wonder how long they can milk it. After all, what's the series about after their coming battle?
