His Dark Materials: Season 2, Episode 2 "The Cave" - REVIEW
Episode 2 sees the first of the new writers for this series penning the script - alongside Jack Thorne, Francesca Gardiner shines in this episode in terms of writing. Set primarily in Will's Oxford, this episode follows Will and Lyra as both search for answers for their respective dilemmas. Despite getting our first glimpse of the Spectres, this had no effect on the plot as the episode opened with Will unharmed and taking Lyra to Oxford. I understand we needed to have the spectre reveal, but it unfortunately came across as anti-climactic - Episode One should've ended with Will sensing something behind him, turning and seeing nothing. That would have made the transition into this episode much smoother,
