I'm not sure if there's been a thread on this, but the first trailer just dropped, so I figured I'd make one.

Overall, I'm impressed by the trailer. Production values seem high across the board (the bears and daemons both look good, as do many of the sets), they've got a nice stable of capable actors carrying the leads, and from what I can tell, the series will hew much more closely to the plot of the book than the movie ever did. The only significant plot element that doesn't appear in the trailer in some form are the witches, but they're pretty minor overall. (I believe it was confirmed in an interview that the daemons can talk in the series, even though it's not shown here.)
I'm curious how much Lee Scoresby's role will be increased for the series, since the trailer seems to indicate as much (unless the advertising is just coasting on Manuel-Miranda's star power, which is a possibility). He wasn't really a major part in the novel, though I woudn't mind seeing more of him.
Anyone else have thoughts?
