The City of Magpies

An excellent return to one of last year's best new shows. Plenty of exciting things happening with no filler, season 2 starts off with a bang. This is visually stunning in UHD HLG HDR on BBC and the charisma between Lyra and Will is powerful and instant. We are in for an exciting second season

Do you ever spend a lot of money on something, then look at it again and wonder why you spent so much on it?

The BBC do every time this programme airs.

Visually stunning, but lacking in anything else that warrants the sheer amount of hype surrounding it.

Finally it's back. I couldn't wait any longer. The second season has improved a lot compared to the first.

5 out of 5 stars.

Awesome to see the series returning. Lara and Will travelling to a new world. With something more sinister lurking. And a mystery when they run into others. It was great to see Lara and Will react and talk about there own worlds. The epic story continues. Great visuals. Great direction and scope.

What a great start. After a solid first season, His Dark Materials returns better than ever, with an outstanding first episode. Every thing was better, acting cinematography etc, and it promises a whole lot for the rest of the season! In my opinion, dialogue improved the most, and it might get even better. Keeping it spoiler free, it made watching the first season worth.
