As someone who has never read the books the show comes off as surprisingly dull. It is certainly beautifully made, you can see the story has tons of potential and there is probably a lot of information (too much perhaps) missing compared to the books. But the storytelling in the show is clunky at best and most of the characters are just not very engaging to me. I think this more because of the writing than the actors, most of whom do well with the material they are given.
I don't know how (un)popular of an opinion this is, but I kind of liked the movie adaptation better. I found Lyra a much stronger character in that one.
