I will give it a 4/10 because of the effort and because it made me laugh. I am currently reading the novels again.

I am currently reading the novels again. Not everything in the novels, not all novels, is very good, but it is clear and evident how deep and complex the Witcher universe is. So, how does Blood Origin fit into it? So far, it doesn't. Blood Origin could be anything, even a Willow prequel, sequel, whatever generic show or film came out in the past few years. The writers clearly do not know how to write unique fantasy storyline. And they tried their BS on an established fantasy lore and universe? How did that happen unchecked internally? And who is the primary showrunner? A nobody with little experience (de Barra). I doubt that the actual The Witcher series will recover from this, after the recent public backlash and writing mess. So, maybe 3 The Witcher seasons is all there ever will be and Blood Origin put the final nail in the coffin of Netflix's The Witcher. It happens. Shame though. 4/10 still for the effort, the cinematics, even though it could be any universe (with pointy ears people), and that it made me laugh (for all the bad reasons).… Expand

It's below average, some iffy effects, bad writing and just feels like a cheap spin off intended to keep the witcher series in people's minds while they work on season 3. Overall it's a dissapointing watch.

J’ai rarement vu des antagonistes aussi peu convaincants…

J’ai rarement vu une licence aussi peu respecter… Mais, cela ne mérite pas non plus un zéro… C’est « juste » une fan fiction…J’ai rarement vu des antagonistes aussi peu convaincants…

Daję na zachętę.... Jakoś ten Wiedźmin coraz to bardziej im się rozmywa. Wiem to zupełnie inna historia itd. ale coś tu kurwa nie gra ewidentnie.

(I've played every Game and read every book) Right now, there are a lot of things about the Witcher Netflix adaption (mostly season 2) that I can't understand. The show is based on a book, but they don't follow the book. The Witcher Blood Origin isn't based on a book. The Conjunction of the Spheres is not even described in the book. The show is a fan fiction with lazy writing, mostly bad characters and sometimes ugly CGI. But there are also some gorgeous nature shots, and the whole world collapsing story line makes sense. The show is not that bad, but it's also not good. It's a forgettable the Witcher and a mediocre fantasy show. I've enjoyed a few episodes, and I'm glad that I've seen it. The landscape was beautiful and the costumes well done. But please don't watch the show for the plot, like I said before, don't expect anything, it's more like a fan fiction.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This one is super easy. If you are a fan of the books and games, this show is a lore disaster from start to finish. The conjunction of spheres was not caused by two elves fighting over a rock. For this show, and for the Netflix lore, that is the case. If you are a fan of the Netflix show and the show only, it explains what the monoliths are and what they are a big deal. So in that sense its kind of watchable.… Expand

The Story isn´t to bad but it´s not good. They have great ideas but the implementation isn´t the best. It´s not the witcher that we like!

Well, I can't believe that, but it ain't that bad as people say. It has nothing to do with withcer (except some names), true, but that is exactly the show advantage.

It has nothing to do with withcer (except some names), true, but that is exactly the show advantage. When it had something to do with witcher (see season 1 and season 2), they utterly destroyed it. Here, they could not defile the source material as there is practically none. They wrote their own story, it is a bit cringe and stupid, but really, I've see a lot worse. The visuals are quite good, music is also ok, even the dialogues, could be worse :)

For sure it deserves a higher score than The Witcher season 2 and Rings of Power. The level of absolutely stupid things was limited here in comparison.… Expand

Festiwal zmarnowanego potencjału oraz dziwnych decyzji fabularnych. Bohaterowie z kartonu do zapomnienia, CGI boli, na szczęście muzyka pozytywnie zaskakuje
