I'm not sure yet about Lyra, she's not what I expected but I've the feeling she'll turn out to be what was needed, if not what I wanted.
The sets are amazing, the music excellent, the cast is A1: this is the BBC so it is exceptionally diverse -which is already giving us a bunch of fine actors that might not be so famous and gives us a bit of modern colour. We're immediately thrown into the action and I am hooked, even though I know what's coming. We're treated to a good bit of the background story during this episode, a thankless task, skilfully done and quite quickly. Yet there's nothing Hollywood about it, it's 100% British. Plenty of money has been thrown at this series and it shows, in a good way. I was looking forward to this and it hasn't disappointed! (a first for me, with fantasy adaptations)
