GALLERY: Our favourite pics from His Dark Materials
All episodes of HBO’s His Dark Materials are ready to binge-watch. This enchanting fantasy series, based on the books by Philip Pullman, is pure escapism. It’s a visually stunning series featuring otherworldly landscapes and magical creatures as we join brave Lyra’s quest to discover her true destiny and find out what is really happening in the realm.
As the Independent wrote, “This is a beautiful, brooding vision of Pullman’s universe, which retains the mix of childish wonder and darkness that make his books so beguiling to young adults.”
Here our some of favourite images from the first season (which won’t give too much away if you haven’t seen it yet!)
