    Lee & ms coulter INCREDIBLE

    My God that Scene between Lee & Ms Coulter is incredible! I don't think either of them could have acted better or had a better script to read from! This show is an incredible additive to this world if you have read the books. And my guy lOves it just as much and he hasn't read them! Love this episode!

    Naivety

    In Cittàgazze, Lyra decides to go to Oxford to meet the scholar Mary Malone, despite the warnings of Pan and the alethiometer. She leaves a note to Will and heads to St. Peter to Mary's office, but police officer is interrogating Mary. When Lyra arrives, she flees and stumbles upon Carlo Boreal's car, who offers a ride to her. She accepts and later she asks him to stop, but he forgets her backpack in the car. However, Carlo calls her to deliver the backpack. But when she opens it, she learns that the alethiometer was stolen by Carlo. She waits for Will seated on a bank and they decide to look for Carlo. Pan recalls that he gave a card to her when they first met each other in the museum and now they will seek him out. Meanwhile, Mrs. Coulter confronts Lee Scoresby in the prison and she learns how engaged he is to protect Lyra.

    "Theft" is an episode of "His Dark Material" with the plot based on a basic stupidity of the smart Lyra. The greatest question of this episode is how this girl that does no listen to anybody can forget her precious alethiometer in a car. This is a very silly way to proceed the lead plot. The attitude of the bipolar Mrs. Coulter is also unexpected. My vote is six.

    Breathtaking

    This show is just breathtaking, just the right pacing. I understand why some people might not like the pacing, since we live in a world where everyone needs instant satisfaction ... But this show isn't about that. I havent read the Book, never watched the movie and I'm totally hooked. There's so much mystery and symbolism in this universe. Visuals are stunning, actors are fantastic, especially Ruth Wilson, dialogue is well writen. What else to ask for ? This is as good as fantasy show can get.

    The Best One Yet!!!

    An incredible piece of television, Lord Boreal was threatning and all the story lines intertwine nicely to create an engaging, coherent story l!

    It is geting worse and worse

    A series with such a great start that just got dumber and dumber. Season 2 is a total mess, just a story telling without any soul, cringe acting, cringe dialogues, cringe script. As an adult I find it impossible to take it seriously anymore. I am at the point of giving up following this series. The lady with the monkey and the church guys are the only ones that kept me invested so far. Lyra's actress is a good actress, but there is nothing she can do with such sinister directing and dialogues. No CGI can replace bad producers unfortunately..

    At this point, it became just a dumb show for kids, there are no layers anymore, just a dumb story unfolding.
