However, from what season 1 suggests, The Last of Us might be way up when we get to update this list. Recency bias truly works in mysterious ways. It is too soon to rank it high in a list of the greatest HBO shows ever. Why so low? Well, The Last of Us needs more ground to credibly move up on this list. This expansion adds a new layer of complexity and emotional depth to the narrative without compromising the source material. His Dark Materials delves into the backstory of various characters, offering a more nuanced understanding of their actions and the complex web of relationships within the story. The television adaptation also expands on some aspects of the novels, providing further depth and exploration of the characters and their motivations. It maintains the core themes and ideas explored in the books, such as the importance of individual freedom, the nature of consciousness, and the exploration of religious and philosophical concepts. The show closely follows the events of the novels and captures the essence of Phillip Pullman’s intricate world-building and complex characters. It follows the adventures of Lyra Belacqua, a young girl who discovers a dangerous secret involving parallel worlds: talking animals called daemons and a mysterious substance called Dust. His Dark Materials is our pick in the sci-fi genre for the list of best HBO shows.
