Re: His Dark Materials
I don't have access to it (no BBC/HBO) but I am excited by proxy because I love these books too and I hope the adaptation is good! I did download the new book! But I haven't started reading it because I got distracted by another book!

Re: His Dark Materials
I watched some of the first episode but didn't get hooked. I read the books a while ago and vaguely remember I would start it out thinking, "meh" and then read the whole thing and get the next one. I may be having the same reaction to this adaptation.

Re: His Dark Materials
I am VERY MUCH enjoying it so far. I don't know how much you want to know about it, but one thing that I think is great is that apparently it's two short seasons for the whole three books, and they've already started including elements from The Subtle Knife into the second episode. A good pacing choice I think for this kind of adaptation overall.

Re: His Dark Materials
I loved the books, enjoying the show so far, quite a good adaptation I think. I didn't realize it was only two seasons, but I guess that makes sense with the pacing they've got going on.

Re: His Dark Materials
Thanks to a kind friend I've now been able to watch the first episode of this--so far, so good! I'm halfway into the latest book too and enjoying it lots. I always forget how much I love coming back to this world and Pullman's writing.
