His Dark Materials Season 1 took place in one universe (Lyra’s), and was slow and steady in its worldbuilding, but Season 2 upped the ante three-fold, plopping its characters in two other parallel universes and introducing a bevy of new beings and MacGuffins. Such is the fantasy zaniness, sci-fi complexity, and glaring anti-religious fury of HBO’s grandiose on-screen adaptation of Philip Pullman’s book trilogy of the same name. Prophecies were told, major characters were slain, and angels appeared at the request of a man accompanied by his literal spirit animal, a snow leopard. No biggie! HBO’s His Dark Materials Season 2, starring Dafne Keen as Lyra Silvertongue and Amir Wilson as Will Parry, came to a meteoric and melodramatic end on Dec. They’ve snatched the Golden Compass, they’ve found the Subtle Knife, and now all the second-coming of Adam and Eve have to do is acquire The Amber Spyglass to restore free will and consciousness to all mankind across all parallel universes.
