His Dark Materials

pwhodges:
It's at the top of my backlog, but first I need to persuade my wife that it's serious enough to be worth her watching.

Theta9:
HBO is picking it up as a series?
Can't say I'm sorry the film trilogy didn't happen. The books declined as the series progressed... book 1 was by far the best, 2 was okay, and 3 kind of sucked.

Tova:
In theory, I would like to watch this, but as it's on HBO (streamed on foxtel here), that's not going to happen at least in the near future.

I loved book 1, but dropped the series some way through book 2. It wasn't even a conscious decision, really. I just lost interest. Pity, because book 1 was a cracker.

Yes, season 1 was book 1, and the series has already been picked up for a 2nd season, which will presumable be book 2.
Sounds like I should hope for a deviation from the later books then? I haven't read any of them, but couldn't they also incorporate stuff from the new books he has written about the "Dark Materials' universe?

Given it's HBO, I guess anything is possible...they could just make 3 seasons for the 3 books, they could deviate from the books a lot, or they could make 5 seasons out of the 3 books...
