On Netflix.

Incredible television. Watch it

It got a terrible review in the guardian.

Shame, as I quite enjoyed the book.

 

[Boro4life]

I enjoyed it and tempted to read the book as reviews say the books way better

Doesn’t always mean anything though does it?

Really enjoyed the book, which is often reason to avoid the TV adaptation.

To be fair The Guardian are usually on the money with their TV reviews.

Hmmm horses for courses. I can’t agree with that personally.

Agree with the first bit, but I think the book is a lot better than OK.

I read the Guardian review after I'd watched the first episode. I pretty much agree with the review - it's brightly coloured, implausible and the accents are terrible - but I'm still enjoying it.

Watched the first two last night and will persist. I actually think it looks pretty good and (some of) the acting is decent.

I do think the "generic Nazi" must have run its course now though? For a high budget programme it's incredibly "broad brush" in its treatment of Nazis. Almost expected Ade Edmondson to pop up at some point.

It's one of those that the critics don't like but audiences think is ok

 

[Spikelangelo]

Brilliant book (as is Cloud Cuckoo Land by same author). Netflix thing is beautifully filmed but the script stinks. Scenes with Mark Ruffalo and little girl are embarrassingly cheesy

I've really enjoyed the series, but the comments on here have inspired me to buy the book.

If anyone is on Spotify premium its free in Audiobooks also.

That's the right order to do it in. I never enjoy watching things based on a book I've already read, but always do the other way round.

The original golden compass was a lot better having not read the his dark materials series at the time if I'd read the books first I'd have hated it. Second one a lot better but what a stellar cast the film had

Is it filmed in Saint-Malo? Its a wonderful place to visit if you get the chance.
