This amazing HBO original fantasy has action and heart. This show is centered in a different universe where man and creatures are one. These creatures are called daemons and they feel what the humans feel and vice versa so if they get hurt you get hurt and you need them by your side to survive. Everyone has an animal but if you are a child your daemon can basically shapeshift into anything and has not settled on an animal. This show revolves around a girl named Lyra (Dafnee Keen) and her daemon that has not yet settled but mainly takes the form of a ferret fighting back against people who are stealing children who are experimenting on them. You may be wondering, well what is this evil person’s name and what are they doing. This person’s name is Marisa Coulter (Ruth Wilson) and what she is trying to do is eliminate dust from smaller children. She is trying to eliminate dust? The only reason someone would like this show is Consuela from Family guy because she doesn’t like dust. I like your joke, but that is not which dust I am talking about, this dust is something that is supposed to be an original sin or something bad, so she is trying to take it away from children to help them in the future. That doesn’t sound that evil but it is, for one it’s not so much an original sin as much as it is growing up and dealing with bad things. Well, you may still not be convinced that this is bad but the last thing to convince you is to say she takes humans from their daemons and that is big when you cannot thrive without them so they basically become brainwashed so that’s very bad. Anyway, now that I have described the whole show in a nutshell here is my review. For acting I would give it an 8/10, all of the child and adult actors do really good with there is one time where they scream for no reason and it was like bro stop this is cringe. For the special effects, I would give it a 10/10 it’s very beautiful and the animals are beautiful. For writing I would give it a 7.5/10 some things in this story can be confusing but other than that it’s pretty good to understand if you watch it twice, I am not the brightest person in the patch so you may be able to understand it. In the end, I would recommend this story for, sci-fi lovers, and action lovers.
