HBO’s His Dark Materials had everything going for it — stunning visuals, big ideas about fate and free will, powerful performances, and a world that felt genuinely epic. And then… that ending happened.
We’re breaking down our full thoughts on His Dark Materials, from what the show did right to why the finale left such a sour taste. Did the series stay true to Philip Pullman’s vision? Was the emotional payoff worth the journey? And why does the ending feel so frustrating after all that build-up?
This is a spoiler-heavy discussion diving deep into the finale, the choices made for Lyra and Will, and whether His Dark Materials ultimately sticks the landing or completely fumbles it.
Watch until the end and let us know — did the finale work for you, or did it ruin the show?
