Carnivale: The Complete Second Season

"Set in America's Dust Bowl in 1934, Carniv?le chronicles the fortunes of a seedy carnival/burlesque troupe as it moved from one flyspeck town to another. The second season continues to follow the unfolding battle between ""a creature of light and a creature of darkness."" The former ""creature"" was Ben Hawkins (Nick Stahl), a chain-gang escapee with a mysterious past and an even more mysterious gift for healing, who had latched on to the carnival almost by accident; the latter was sinister evangelist Brother Justin (Clancy Brown), who held the town of Mintern, CA, in thrall with a combination of charisma and mind control."
