This might help....

See, I didn't even know that and that sounds crucial to the plot. Perhaps they didn't tell us yet.

I am open minded to these stories but generally find that by the end the episode, I really couldn't care less what happened. Game of Thrones was the same for me. I watched two whole series and was none the wiser. Maybe I am just too old for this stuff?
I couldn't get into GOT either, though I did watch several. I usually love Sci-fi. Harry Potter had me riveted as did The Hobbit & LOTR.

Do look at my link, it might help.

Re: His Dark Materials

Yes watched this after having read the trilogy some years ago.

In the UK the books are:

Northern Lights
The Subtle Knife
The Amber Spyglass


Elsewhere the first book was called The Golden Compass and that was also the name of the feature length film made a few years back.

I thought the first episode yesterday was quite good, true to the books and it's clear come money has been pumped into this series.

It took a while to get going TBH but I suspect it will ramp up.

The books are good and I'm wondering if the series will go as far as the 2nd and 3rd books.

Re: His Dark Materials

Episode 3 and I'm still not into it! I usually like weird stuff but this is just too confusing.

Re: His Dark Materials

I think the producers and script writers assume we have all read the book or seen the film
Don’t understand it at all, are they supposed to be a society without electricity yet tonight people are using computers...confused dot com

Re: His Dark Materials

Thanks for reminding me Tessa! Just pressed the green button in time.

I haven't read the books so am really enjoying the TV drama. But I do understand how you feel if it's not true to the story.

Re: His Dark Materials

So far they seem to be sticking to the book, what I remember of it anyway, not read it for a while.
It goes into different parallel worlds Rehab, from Lyra's world to ours.
