His Dark Materials 2019

@maglor It's not part 2, it's another part 1 but done much, much better

@maglor do you mean this tv series as a whole, or the latest episode? I have not watched the Golden Compass (From the creator himself he warns me off, a movie that had too much too cover in an impossibly short amount of time" - I believe he said. He also wondered on his blog, whether this very format (episodic on tv) would be the best way to capture it. If I watch The Golden Compass - will it spoil future episodes of this show?

@bingeorpurgetv Having watched the Golden Compass before this show, it's basically the entirety of season 1 in shorter form. (Just watched episode 6 when writing this.)
I believe the Movie and first season of this show both covers the first book in the series, where next season will cover the second book.

I do think the Movie is great and worth a watch, but only after you have finished season 1 of this show.
Watching the Movie, you will notice how much of the tv-show is exactly as it was in the movie. If it weren't for the change in actors, it sometimes seems like it straight up the same exact scenes. :)

@mandy5001 I know, I just said that part 2 of the movie was never to come. And you're right... this is waaaay better. I only do feel that they could have gotten just a little bit more out of it.

@bingeorpurgetv If I watch The Golden Compass - will it spoil future episodes of this show? Yeah... it does because (just like @fishInABottle says) it's almost all the same... But seeing that I am replying almost exactly one year later, I feel that this information is a little too late... (Sorry about that :sweat_smile:)

@fishinabottle I know exaclty what you mean... The moment I saw the hare in the balloon I was really expecting Sam Elliott's face instead of Lin-Manuel Miranda. Somehow Sam Elliott was just perfect for the part.
Daniel Craig did play it really good but tbh James McAvoy.... wow... what an actor.
