Critic Reviews of "His Dark Materials - Season 1"
Financial TimesNovember 01, 2019Visually, it's Art Deco meets steampunk, with the airships and canal barges feeling a little less fresh than when this world first tumbled from Pullman's rich imagination; but his themes are ever-pertinent.
New York Magazine/VultureOctober 31, 2019His Dark Materials' first episodes are a mixture of unabashedly gorgeous visuals, several strong performances, and writing that demonstrates time and again that it has no confidence in either of those things.
Daily Telegraph (UK)October 16, 2019While His Dark Materials is not, on the basis of the first episode, an all-out extravaganza, it is a fine piece of drama, capturing the strangeness and childlike wonder of the books, but also their rigour and bite. This is intelligent populism writ large.
AV ClubNovember 01, 2019It's a good story, told with restraint and respect. Pity about the magic, though.
Hollywood ReporterNovember 01, 2019What never fully worked for me in the four episodes, out of the eight-episode first season, sent to critics is the necessary feeling of narrative and thematic momentum. It's vastly better than the movie, but neither fun nor smart enough to quite succeed.
SlateNovember 01, 2019Proof that TV is now the best medium for bringing epic literary fantasy to the screen.
Film School RejectsNovember 01, 2019For a show in which people have visible, tangible souls, 'His Dark Materials' own soul is awfully hard to find.
TV GuideOctober 31, 2019In short, this is the adaptation fans have been waiting two decades to see.
ForbesOctober 31, 2019What a screen adaptation of Pullman's books was truly meant to be... It fully realizes the scope of this fictional world with grand visuals, an adventurous plot, smart writing, and excellent casting.
NOW TorontoNovember 01, 2019I suppose this is a recommendation, though I reiterate. If high fantasy isn't your thing, watching this is definitely going to feel like work.
EspinofNovember 03, 2019The show has a lot of ambition and spectacle, but the story struggles. [Full Review in Spanish]
ColliderNovember 01, 2019His Dark Materials seems like a daemon who hasn't settled on a form quite yet, and that's oddly endearing in its own way, too. For now.
