I enjoyed the show, and I plan to watch the next season (this November), but I think it didn't work nearly as well as the books. For one, it failed to show just how important daemons are in several key scenes - which I think likely muted the horror of intercision for folks who hadn't read the books.

It looked pretty nice, but the interpersonal relations + writing weren't done very well, and Lin Manuel Miranda really didn't fit into his role. I watched the whole thing, but I think it's a case of try to fit the books into the wrong genre. The books are children's fantasy, and the show is trying to capture some of the GOT audience (without the MA rating tho)
I'm somewhat interested in the next season. In my opinion Pullman's series declines from the first book to the third more than the Chronicales of Narnia. The show started setting up book 2 in season one, so they may surpass the third book by season 3, but they aren't there yet.

Started to, didn't hold my attention. Doesn't capture the spirit of the books, quite a few seemingly arbitrary rewrites of characters and plot points.

One of my favorite books I ever read.
