havent read the books but ive been watching bbc his dark materials and ngl,, please dont be angry with me but this writing...... aint the best lmao idk how true it is to the books but regardless of that... ok i think the main thing are the witches? gonna be honest it just feels like theyre there to be convenient and useful when necessary, but none of the minor plotlines around them have been at all interesting (or necessary, theres already a lot of stuff going on without them, story does not need them) and i really think everything would be better if the whole thing had been written without them. also none of it is character driven enough.... the scenes with lyras mum and lee in the prison cell? the monkey taking her hand? that was So Good, because it was character driven, but there isnt enough of that. most of the time its just characters doing what the plot tells them to, a shit load of incredibly obvious exposition and character decisions that make absolutely no sense. im only just able to follow whats going on but i do not understand it well enough to be able to retell it. having said that, i thoroughly enjoy the daemons and they make watching completely worth it
