   Our review :.
UK Standard DVD S1 edition - January 2020




     If the 4 beautiful collector cards include to this DVD edition of His Dark Materials Series 1 are a guilty pleasure, this firest edition only includes otherwise the minimum we could expect of it: in addition to the eight glorious episodes successfully adapting Northern Lights, there is only unfortunatelly very little (new) content to enjoy: a navigation menu reenacting the opening credits of the show, optionnal English subtitles and a collection of bonus features which have been available for months on the BBC website. If these short programms are interesting, they do not match the quality and sense of detail that the marvelous work of the team behind the series trully deserved. No deleted scenes nor proper making-of to be found on this edition: with the exception of the four lovely double-side printed cards, there is no exclusive content to justify the acquisition of this edition. Sraffies might then be justifiably tempted to wait for future editions with more weighted bonus features.
     Such an enjoyable adaptation certainly deserved a better edition!
