HisDarkMaterials Season 3 is the densest and most emotional entry of the series, but that's exactly what it should be. Our review:
What started as a story about a precocious young girl tracking down kidnappers has grown and turned into a multiversal event of epic proportions. Of course, if you're at all familiar with Philip Pullman's book series, then you know that was always going to be the way of things. Season 3 of His Dark Materials adapts the epic third book in the series, The Amber Spyglass, and it leans completely into the complexities and weirdness of that final story.
With so much new material being thrown at you, the series' solid casting is doing a lot of the emotional lifting for the series. Complicated characters like Asriel and Mrs. Coulter are given more room to breathe in the final season, expanding on their roles both as former lovers, parents of Lyra, and scientists questioning the role of the Authority.
On top of that, Wilson's performance is as dynamic as ever — not only across from McAvoy, but with Keen and the Magisterium characters. The season explores not only Mrs. Coulter's identity as a woman within the Magisterium but her role as a mother to Lyra, and finally gives us insight into her connection to her golden monkey daemon.
Although the season comes in at eight episodes, often that just doesn't feel like enough time. Given how dense some of Pullman's theories and philosophies are in His Dark Materials, it can sometimes feel like whiplash going from the lofty concepts of free will and false gods to the struggles of puberty and dealing with your childhood crush.
