Theft

Well the positive first, excellent vfx, costume and sets. The negative, awful directing and apart from the brilliant Dafne Keen the acting is woefully bad (supplied by planks 'r' us). Follows more to the second book than any other episode but still lacks any soul, which is somewhat perverted irony.

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!

This episode was pure perfection. It was true to the books and added some interesting additions and twists.

I absolutely despise when uncharacteristic and mindless mistakes are so obviously scripted for the sole reason to cheaply add additional drama, and this episode is just chock-full of it. It completely took me out of the immersion of the storyline and I found myself continuously shaking my head, sighing and face-palming. It's without a doubt the least pleasant viewing experience I've had so far in an otherwise engaging series, so I sincerely hope it picks up again.

Each episode is getting better and better. And visuals r just amazing. I understand why some people r bored by this show because there is so much to know and so far we know nothing. What is Lyra's destiny, who will she betray and so on and on. Bdw, the dagger which was talked in this episode can cut through worlds. It will be amazing to see how it will be used
