I love this miniseries in its entirety. I am a fan of the book series as well. It's such an amazing story.
-
Every episode and season of this series gets progressively better and better. Absolutely amazing series.

Read the books if you want the complex characters of the children that made the books shine, because the TV adaptation simplifies the children. The books were realist even while written from a child's point of view and therefore intriguing. The line between good and evil was blurred, lying counted as being clever sometimes, murder could be bravery, etc. The TV adaptation feels more "Disney". Lyra is not as intelligent as she is in the books, and Will is not as wise and mature. No, I don't need everything to be "exactly as it is in the books", but if it is an important element it should be there--in the books' world children are not dumb, innocent creatures, but thinking, learning, adapting humans, different from adults yes, but no less complex. This was not shown so well in the more "actiony" TV show. Also, god damn, the "strong independent woman" trope strikes again. In season 1 I was grateful "woke-ness" did not infect this fantasy adaptation too but I spoke too soon. *spoiler alert* Season 2 rewrites Mrs. Coulter as a more caring mother when in the books there was none of that scene with Lee Scoresby where she shows concern for Lyra, and in fact in the books when she learns that Lyra is Eve, she concludes she must DESTROY Lyra. Also, what was with that scene with Lord Boreal/Sir Charles Latrom where she laments being left a poor helpless widow by Asriel? In the books she equally CHEATED with Lord Asriel, despite already being married. Yes she is aware of her status as a woman within the Church but she never monologues/whines about it like she did in the TV show. BBC definitely simplified the fascinating, complex ?villain? that was Mrs. Coulter.

Slid slightly from the first season, pacing is starting to be a problem, but still overall good
-
my eyes fell of when watching it
-
Increíble como lograron que una temporada de solo 7 episodios se sintiera larga, lenta y con mucho relleno. El ritmo le juega totalmente en contra a historia ya mal desarrollada, hay muy poco de todo lo bueno que habían logrado en la temporada en la temporada anterior. Personajes sin peso en la trama, huecos argumentales que no se entienden, sub tramas que podrían ser interesantes ni se molestaron en desarrollar. Muy poco que rescatar.
-
Continuation of the solid story and performances from Season 1…you won't be disappointed with this follow-up series.
-
Great story telling! it draws you in more and more with every episode. it is an unending fountain of tantalizing fascination
-
Season 2 begins full of curiosity and adventure and ends with an appropriate amount of longing. The casting and filming are uncanny. The story really comes to life in an amazing yet familiar way.
-
Last episode of season 2 seemed to run out of ideas and was filled in with a lot of killing.
