Like the film this series won't please everyone. Its theme of reason and logic ruling over superstition, fear and spiritualism, will have a certain demographic hot and bothered. Which, when you think about it, is rather absurd, if their faith is as powerful as they claim.
Lets start by saying this is, a well rendered series. Its beautifully set, has a sterling cast, outstanding cinematography and a story well worth re-telling. The BBC are very much on target with His Dark Materials, in every sense.
If there is a downside, its perhaps that the story can seem a little complex and overwhelming, for a newcomer. This is intelligent, thoughtful writing for a younger audience. Its not passive viewing. That said, its very accessible to anyone and as an adult, I 'm enjoying it thus far.
Comes highly recommended. 10/10.
