His Dark Materials - Season 1, Episode 01: Lyra's Jordan
Trailer
An adventurous-family series that follows an orphan girl, Lyra. Lyra's friend has been kidnapped. While she is looking for her friend, she discovers truths about her parents that lead her to a dangerous plot targeting many children. Lyra cooperates with a brave boy, Will, to face the evil powers together.
Although director Tom Hooper goes heavy on the action in the premiere - so! many! shots! of! Lyra! running! - sometimes it feels like the characters themselves are just floating in space.
