    I hope this is good. Loved the books when I read them years ago. It's a great story that is very adaptable, unfortunately the previous attempt was bad. Very strong cast and has been a few years in the making, so hopefully that means it was done right.

    Got the big spot after the GoT finale so maybe that means HBO feels good about it.

    Now I know where GOT's budget for CGI elephants and direwolves went.

    Great cast, too. I'm in, despite not knowing anything about the source material.

    Good to see Arya Stark getting a new HBO gig so soon after GoT.

    McAvoy will bring me to the table. but the trailer wasn't very compelling. No clue what were stepping into but it looks more like it may just be ok not great.

    I’m excited. I saw the film they made 15 or so years ago in theaters and that was pretty awful. I think I read the first 2 when I was a kid.

    It looks great. Ruth Wilson is a perfect choice for the sociopath mother.
    It's good that they chose the Dark Materials because the next one with the tower and the knife I don't think it's for television.
