irt prev post i think his dark materials is a really difficult series to adapt due to the complexities of the plot + themes and of the setting(s). and also that actually even pullman himself like. fumbles it a bit. the first book is definitely the strongest and the second + third are carried largely by their excellent prose (building the environment) and the characters, both of which the TV show is uh. dropping the ball on
