    Storyline

    • Trivia
      This is the first time the novels by Philip Pullman are adapted into a television series. The previous film adaptation, The Golden Compass (2007), was once cited by author George R.R. Martin as one of the reasons he wanted Game of Thrones (2011) to be a television series, rather than a feature film. Martin later shared his thoughts on the series on Twitter, calling it "SO much better than the feature film." There are only three novels in Pullman's series, however, and several in Martin's, so it's not surprising the original plan was to adopt His Dark Materials into a film trilogy.
    • Crazy credits
      The opening titles are a zoom out, starting from particles of Dust at atomic level and zooming out to show the various multiversal locations within the story (and the objects/people/vehicles within these multiverses) before concluding the zoom out to reveal the series title.

    People cant be THAT stupid!
    I read a review on here stating that this show is a rip of the Golden Compass movie...... seriously??! Im just hoping its a joke comment, also why are people giving this such bad reviews? Seems like people these days just dont understand what a book is or how to read one, i loved the movie but the show seems spot on so far, also some people giving out that its on late and wondering why as its a "kids" show....if you've read the books you would know it gets very dark. Anyway Loving the show so far, i will be watching every week.
