I had no clue this show had 3 seasons already! Is it good/entertaining? I enjoyed the books a lot but have never been any sort of book purist when it comes to adaptations, so that sort of thing doesn't really matter to me.

It's weird. I think it's the best adaptation so far and the casting is really good! Ruth Wilson and James McAvoy are perfect for Coulter and Asriel. But it's also quite boring? I can't figure out what about it doesn't click for me.

Hmm, maybe I'll throw it on as something to have on in the background. Maybe it will manage to reel me in a bit

I was really hoping this series would heal the wounds left by the flop movie, but it I was so bored I'm not even sure I finished the first season.

I agree it’s so weird because I don’t dislike it but I do find myself getting bored. I also am not attached to Will and Lyra as a couple so none of that has resonated with me. I found all the other characters to be much more compelling.

It looks good but but lacks humour imo. There's not much warmth in the series either. Though Ruth Wilson is as always amazing.

I haven't read the books, but I'm personally loving the series! The actors are amazing and it's visually gorgeous.

I agree with the above commenter that it's very dramatic & lacks warmth/humor though. But I feel like it works with the tone of the show.

Season 1 is a bit slow, but seasons 2 + 3 are action packed IMO.
