(Welcome to\u00a0The Quarantine Stream<\/strong><\/a>, a new series<\/a> where the \/Film team shares what they\u2019ve been watching while social<\/a> distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.)<\/em><\/p>\n

The Show<\/strong>:\u00a0His Dark Materials<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Where You Can Stream It<\/strong>: HBO and HBO Max
\nThe Pitch<\/strong>:\u00a0Set in an alternate world where humans\u2019 souls take the form of walking, talking animals called daemons,\u00a0His Dark Materials<\/em> starts off as a fantasy-adventure series involving child kidnapp<\/a>ers and a brash young heroine named Lyra before it unfolds into an ambitious retelling of John Milton\u2019s\u00a0Paradise Lost<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Why It\u2019<\/strong>s Essential Viewing:<\/strong>\u00a0His Dark Materials<\/em> has been having trouble shaking off the taint from the 2007 adaptation of Philip Pullman\u2019s first book in the trilogy,\u00a0The Golden Compass<\/em>. Roundly mocked for its shoddy CGI visuals and criticized for being a\u00a0Harry Potter\u00a0<\/em>knock-off, The Golden Compass\u00a0<\/i>nearly doomed\u00a0His Dark Materials<\/em>\u00a0to being cast off to the dustbin of failed YA adaptations. But enter BBC and the duo of executive producer Jane Tranter<\/strong> and writer Jack Thorne<\/strong>, who wanted the rest of the world to take the series as seriously as its thousands of book fans do. The result: the BBC\/HBO co-production\u00a0His Dark Materials<\/em>, a dark journey into adolescence that goes through its share of growing pains, before finally coming into its own with its currently-airing second season.<\/p>\n

His Dark Materials<\/em> opens in an alternate world so unlike ours: filled with talking polar bears, witches, and souls that take the shape of talking animals, ruled by the oppressive Magisterium, a religious organization whose depiction has gotten the Catholic Church angry with this series on more than one occasion. In this world lives Lyra Belacqua (Dafne Keen<\/strong>), a headstrong orphan raised in the austere halls of Oxford\u2019s Jordan College, whose best friend is one day kidnapped by \u201cGobblers,\u201d a group that may or may not have ties to the Magisterium. Following the trails left by Roger and her adventurer uncle Lord Asriel\u00a0(James McAvoy<\/strong>), Lyra becomes entangled in a plot that has divine, world-shattering ramifications. Literally.<\/p>\n

As the first season unfolds,\u00a0His Dark Materials<\/em> breaks open its fantasy world to reveal the existence of parallel worlds \u2014 including our own present-day one. It\u2019s the kind of science<\/a>-fantasy twist that elevates\u00a0His Dark Materials<\/em> from the kind of\u00a0Harry Potter<\/em> cast-off that it had been originally billed as, and which deepens its rich philosophical themes. Without getting into too many spoilers,\u00a0His Dark Materials<\/em> goes from a typical fantasy-adventure into one of the god-killing variety.
\nBut I\u2019m getting ahead of myself \u2013 teasing things that the show hasn\u2019t even reached yet, though it\u2019s clear that the team behind\u00a0His Dark Materials<\/em> is as eager to get to the good stuff as I am. It was one of the failings of the first season of\u00a0His Dark Materials<\/em>, which too heavily foreshadowed things to come, losing the impact of some of those late-story twists.\u00a0But after an entertaining, if uneven, first season,\u00a0His Dark Materials<\/em> has finally found its footing as a thrilling fantasy show in its own right, by embracing some of the whimsy that the \u201cgrim\u201d and \u201cmature\u201d first season left on the table and by embracing the story\u2019s science-fantasy trappings.<\/p>\n
