Basically, HBO purchased the international rights to this BBC programme 2 months before filming wrapped and everyone thinks HBO did everything. Too many times American streaming services are getting far too much credit for UK work just by buying the international broadcast rights. This is NOT a HBO show

[@timaustin2000]

Yup. It annoys me, as the BBC spent a FORTUNE and 3 years making this with Bad Wolf in Wales just for HBO to swoop in at the 11th hour and take all the credit. Not to underplay the amount of money HBO spent on the rights - a good few Million, no doubt - but it was largely money that BBC Studios had already committed to.

This looks like an adaptation of The Golden Compass. Edit: I did a little reading after posting this comment and I was right, hehe. I saw the film titled "The Golden Compass" several years back, but didn't know it was based off of a book trilogy (His Dark Materials). I'm definitely going to watch this series because I found the story in The Golden Compass interesting and wondered why it never got a sequel since it ended so abruptly.

[@grandtheftgalaxies]

For fans of the book, the ending was probably the most disappointing part of the movie. It literally ends before the climax of the book, and even if you haven't read it you can totally tell something's off. Definitely recommend reading them if you get a chance!

[@QuinchGaming]

Really good idea to read the main trilogy as from the mid point things get really deep and I'm not sure how far ANY film or TV adaptation will go to be accurate to the source material

As a person originally from France, I watched the original movie (translated in french), and it was absolutely ridiculous... Not only the plot seamed weird, but the voice over were a disaster.
