HIS DARK MATERIALS
HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET
In this week’s episode, we finally spend time with two long-awaited elements of this HBO series: the armor-plated polar bear, and the intrepid adventurer played by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Only one of them arrives courtesy of CGI special effects – but rest assured. So long as I’m aware, no Lin-Manuel Mirandas were hurt in the making of this TV show.
