His Dark Materials, Seasons 1-2

From Philip Pullman's epic "His Dark Materials" fantasy trilogy comes this compelling HBO series that follows young orphan Lyra (Dafne Keen) on an incredible adventure into a parallel world where a human's soul exists outside one's body--in the form of a talking animal. Over the course of eight Season 1 episodes, as the glamorous and mesmeric Mrs. Coulter (Ruth Wilson) enters her life, Lyra embarks upon a dangerous journey of discovery that will take her North in search of answers and change her life forever. Within hours of the first season’s tumultuous climax, Season 2 finds a distraught Lyra following Lord Asriel (James McAvoy) into the strange and mysterious abandoned city Cittagazze. There, she meets Will (Amir Wilson), a boy from our world who's also running from a troubled past.
