    My problems with the new Wither series is the total lack of taste and creative design of every aspect of the episodes while it lacks authenticity and credibility. You can see no good acting neither, but I‌ could live with that if at least the creators of the show would have tried to make the characters look like they are coming from an age where they were fighting with swords and magic.My problems with the new Wither series is the total lack of taste and creative design of every aspect of the episodes while it lacks authenticity and credibility. You can see no good acting neither, but I‌ could live with that if at least the creators of the show would have tried to make the characters look like they are coming from an age where they were fighting with swords and magic. Like Game of Thrones attempted, where people are sometimes dirty and disgusting. Here nothing feels disgusting as even the protagonist is kind of a weird version of Barbie’s bf: Ken and the crippled girl in the second episode is basically Penelope Cruz with something in her mouth and some wadding under her clothes at her shoulders so she looks like Penelope Cruz dressed as Quasimodo for Haloween. It’s hard to let go that right in the first episode, first second you can see Gerald, the Witcher jumping like flying while you can be sure he’s in a studio connected to a rope in front of a green screen and as he struggles with the monster you can see the absolute worst CGI of 2019, in such a big title. His clothes are also more of an amateur comic con version and I'm pretty sure some has a better one, on the actual comic con. A good fantasy doesn’t have a bard singing Robbie Williams/bar style songs in the local pub and it requires tons more of careful touch to make it feel realistic and rich in it’s world. That includes well-chosen real locations, scenery, good lines of characters, so it won’t feel like it’s the 9 trillionths random cheap Netflix show.… Expand

    Плохая экранизация книг. Всё переиначили и не в лучшую сторону. Логика местами вообще покидает данный сериал. Единственное что радует так это сам Геральт.

    It’s like Game of Thrones ;but without all the good acting and storytelling getting in the way of juvenile jokes and contemporary references and language that seem out of place in a setting that seemingly takes place in the past.

    И тааак, Ведьмак.
    Меня хватило на две серии и честно мне стыдно за Нетфликс. Начну с плюсов этого «сериала» так как их меньше чем минусов.
    Это озвучка актеров, она действительно классная и было приятно слушать персонажей если бы они не разговаривали друг с другом, потому что диалоги сосут огромный, невероятный, термоядерный... сенджигрон (я играл в Ведьмака и только я это пойму). Ну и еще    И тааак, Ведьмак.

Даже я, настоящий фанат ведьмака, который перечитал все книги, прошел игры, в самом начале нихрена не понял. Я боюсь представить что случится с человеком который даже игру не прошел, не считая книг. Актеры подобраны ужасно, Йеннифер - чародейка, в книге ей 180 лет, но как говорилось в книге выглядит она на 30-40. Здесь Йеннифер выглядит на 14... Сам ведьмак Геральт, ну это пиздес, не многословный, понтовщик, и ваще ховно. Еще меня пробомбило с сюжета, они хотели сделать по книге, но вышло так будто они книгу читали задом наперёд или по диагонали, ну или я хз. Короче пиздес и ничего больше. Если вы не хотите читать книгу про ведьмака то в принципе с закрытыми глазами и закрытыми ушами можно смотреть. Ставлю 3 из 10. Очень пробомбило    … Expand

    I am giving this a 2 only because Henry did a good job. The rest of the show is garbage. I am not sure why its called The Witcher. It should have been named 'The Yennefer show that does not give a **** about source material' WOKE edition gold. Plot is superficial, dialogues are superficial. I had my hopes so high and yet netflix delivered another sjw mush without any deep.

    Сценарий очень рваный и скомканный. Возможно его писали - просто вычёркиванием глав из книги, причём не особо задумываясь над тем, что остаётся. Потом, то что осталось - перемешали и вытянули наугад. Так получилась серия. Следом в неё добавили здоровое такое ведро феминизма. Из сильных (по логике здорового человека) женских персонажей сделали глупых куриц наделённых властью. Так получилась бабка Цири, например.
    Минусы этого сериала можно описывать бесконечно долго:
    - Отвратительная работа сценаристов.
    - Ужасный кастинг героев.
    - Слабая актёрская игра большинства персонажей.
    - Правильно сделали, что уволили костюмера.
    - Графика уровня прошлого века (вспомните резиновый костюм стрыги из 3-ей серии).
    - Ужасный монтаж с кучей киноляпов и, возможно, вырезанным чем-то важным. Ибо перескакивается всё настолько нелогично, что сложно проследить причинно-следсвтенную связь. Или это опять косяк сценаристов.
    - Очень глупый феминизм. Сильные женские персонажи из книг превратились в наиглупейших неадекватных истеричек наделённых властью.
    - Совершенно не уместная толерантность на грани тупой шутки, вызывающей недоумение.

    Этот сериал - оскорбление всем здравомыслящим людям, которых сочли за всеядных дураков авторы сериала.
    ---------------------------------

    This series was contrasted with Game of Thrones. Praised himself on every corner! Because condescension does not deserve!
    I'm not a Witcher fan. I did not read all the books and played only in the third part of the witcher. But even I have a sea of ​​questions about the universe invented by the scriptwriters, not based on the universe of books and games.
    The script is very ragged and crumpled. Perhaps they wrote it - simply by deleting the chapters from the book, and not really thinking about what remains. Then, what was left was mixed and pulled at random. So it turned out a series.
    The relationship of the characters, apparently, occurred on those discarded pages of books. Their motivation and logic remained there. The stupidity of the consequences spilled over onto the audience, which he must somehow try to realize and relate, having thought up the universe on his own. It is worth noting here that those who know the universe spit right away, and those who do not know spit a little later.
    Cons of this series can be described indefinitely:
    - The disgusting work of the scriptwriters.
    - Awful casting of heroes.
    - Weak acting of most characters.
    - They did the right thing to fire the dresser.
    - Graphics of the level of the last century (remember the rubber suit of the scruff from the 3rd series).
    - Awful installation with a bunch of kinolapov and, possibly, cut out something important. For everything jumps so illogical that it is difficult to trace a causal relationship. Or is it again a jamb of screenwriters.
    - Very stupid feminism. Strong female characters from books turned into the stupidest inadequate tantrums endowed with power. if I were a woman - I would be offended by such humiliation of female heroes
    - Absolutely inappropriate tolerance on the verge of a dumb joke that causes bewilderment.

    The authors of the series wanted to go on trends, but they don’t know at all how to do it. As a result - a series that offends any sane person.    … Expand

    The series average. A lot of empty chatter about the unfortunate elves, the palette of the world is very gray, the graphics are not always at the level. One of the advantages of good fight scenes. Who played the game will be disappointed. But that's only in the first two series.

I watched all episodes but I had to fast forward several scenes to be able to finish, especially in the last episode. The dramatic effects just fall flat. The books didn't had the best writing but this much worse.

    The whole thing is very Americanized and has lost all its Slavic color. The casting is just very awkward. I don't mind having different races present but make it coherent! The books contain several detailed physical descriptions of many characters and lineage/origins (you can also figure the origins by the names). Here you can't even guess where a character is from by watching the show unless you've read the books. This is a medieval setting with a Eastern European flavor and genetics traits are attached to geographical regions; it's not NYC in 2019. The world they created is not convincing at all.

    Horrible casting, horrible acting and an absolutely incoherent story. I like the game, but these fan boys raving over this pile of crap is mind boggling. Most of them 12 year old males no doubt (or equal in mentality). Every actor in this series is totally forgettable. The fight scenes are pretty good, but short and better watched on youtube. If you have any taste at all-I'd seriously avoid.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. By the time the games were released - I had already read the books three times in a language - much closer to the original than some fans. I reshooted the games twice each, and re-read the book ten more times. I can quote any passage or quotation from a book from memory. And I am normal about adaptations - I am a fan of the game of thrones and calmly relate to the last season, which also has huge problems with the script.
    But the witcher of netflix is ​​an absolute disrespect for the original source and its fans. The authors of the series and some fans do not understand him at all. You do not understand the meaning, mythology and generally this culture. All that you can do is to make a horror story with religious fanatics and the struggle between good and evil from the analogy of Roman empire - Nilfgaard, cut off the deepest meaning of the original short stories of the first two books and shove the inarticulate story about the formation of a strong woman. You made this fast food like Marvel and other garbage like the Black Panther. Well, do it further with your culture.

    - Really weak & cringe worthy dialogue
    - The Showrunner clearly cares more about diversity than being true to the source material
    - The best scenes are with Geralt in fight scenes, which you'll barely see anyway because this show is 75% about the women and their stories.

    This is just another example of a great story being **** ruined by a moron in Lauren Hissrich.

    It's WAY too much emphasis on the female characters... The Witcher is unique in that it's writing in the source material is SO GOOD that you already have established powerful female characters that aren't obnoxiously over the top and in your face.

    But of course, its 2019 so that's not enough, they have to make every little moment about how women are stronger, can overcome anything, and are inherently better than all men apparently.

    They've basically butchered Yen... & that leads me to another point.... Casting:

    - Black Fringilla
    - Black Eithne & Brokilon forest women are black
    - Mixed race Triss
    - half Indian Yen

    Are you taking the piss? ALL of these characters are supposed to be **** white, clearly listed as "PALE" in the source material.

    But it's 2019, and you're not allowed too many white people in the same room otherwise it's racist apparently... The casting choices for this are an absolute disgrace & are just so immersion breaking it's ridiculous.

    I feel bad for Henry Cavil, he is literally carrying this whole show on his shoulders & clearly is the only person that gives a **** about his character or the story.    … Expand

Столько лжи и надругательства я еще никогда не видел! Они все облили грязью, ВСЕ! В этом сериале нет ничего общего с книгами великого Пана и никогда не будет, из-за отсутствия фантазии нетфликс ничего не смог придумать своего, по этому они взяли всего по чуть чуть из книг и игр, смешали в котле, процедили оставив процентов 30 и остальное залили мочой из своих голов исказив все до неузнаваемости. До этого момента я был совершенно равнодушен к студии нетфлик, но теперь для меня это студия перестала существовать как таковая.Я неоднократно читал книги, это моя самая любимая вселенная на просторах фэнтези мира, Ведьмак первая из частей игры до сих пор вспоминается в самых теплых тонах, я люблю эту вселенную!Считаю то что сделала нетфликс это оскорбление и плевок каждому истинному поклоннику вселенной Ведьмака.

Dialogues made very poor and so smug.

Also the way creators make us hate 'evil' characters is very teenager-ish. On the moment when they showed Yennifer's womb I was started to laugh, creators think the viewers are so stupid that they will not understand what she paid for the beauty so they decided to show us bloody womb.

    The production values are good, and Henry Cavill is a decent actor, but the story sucks. The Bard is the most annoying character on TV and he sings in each episode? Awful. Like a poor man's version of Game of Thrones.

    It's a good fantasy show, but a very bad adaptation. Netflix wanted to push their ethnic quota on The Witcher, and replaced several established white characters in the book with actors of colour.

If you read the books, you'll know that making Fringilla black doesn't make sense in the story. Dark elves don't exist in the world of The Witcher. Even Zerrikanians should be of arabic ethnicity, which makes sense, but not black.
    Why do they always ruin a good story by pushing political correctness? This show is literally The Witcher in America.

    Even the dwarves are a joke. They should be strong, small, but big. But in the show, they're literally human dwarves who can't even carry a sword.

    They've made the world of "The Witcher" totally inconsistent. I'm a big fan of the books, I didn't play the games, but I'm really disappointed in the show. It doesn't do justice to the books at all.    … Expand

Dialogues are **** acting is so so, most actors didnt capture their characters and that includes Henry Cavill, whom I like as an actor.

Yes, you can tell he played the games, but i would question he read the books, because he tries to portray the game Geralt with his stoic badassery, but gives no attempt to show off Geralt´s wit and intelligence, which is understandable because like I said, the dialogues are pure garbage. I dont think the writers have the capacity to come up with witty or intelligent lines to begin with, so I dont blame only Cavill for that. However Geralt has never been a character defined primarily by his excellent swordsmanship or his stoic demeanor as the games or the show would have you believe. The show is filled with out of place diversity, men bashing, all the queens and authorities are black or female, its progressive garbage of first order. The audio and visuals are nice for a tv production, netflix has the money if not the talent. Fight scenes are probably the only thing I actually enjoyed. You can tell lot of time and thought have been given to the choreography, but thats where the positives start and end. The show has no regards for the slavic roots of the material and the lore is never implemented in any but the most basic and surface level way. This isnt the witcher, its progressive americanised generic fantasy for politically correct audience that took the names and tropes from the witcher and left the balls out.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. В общем, товарищи, это был пиздец. Как фанат книг и игр я просто в ужасе от того, что сняли Нетфликс. Карнавал толерантности и обратного рассизма с танцами пофигизма и жажды заработка на костях хорошей идеи по отличной вселенной. У сериала, несомненно, есть плюсы, но их с лёгкостью перекрывают минусы, которые сильно бросаются в глаза. Для рядового зрителя платформы, который по вечерам смотрит что-нибудь под пиво с чипсами, конечно, сойдёт, но фанаты вселенной получили смачную харчу в лицо.
    Рваная структура повествования приводит к тому, что уже к третьей серии ты перестаёшь понимать что, где и в каком промежутке времени происходит. Вот тебе показывают маленького Фольтеста на балу в Аретузе, а уже через 5 минут Геральт обсуждает с ним обстоятельства появления стрыги, причём в этот момент Фольтесту уже как-будто за 50, хотя по моим скромным подсчётам ему должно быть около 30.
    Переписывание историй это отдельная тема. Взять хотя бы банкет в Цинтре по случаю смотрин Паветты. Забудьте про Равикса из Черторога, забудьте про то, что Калантэ заранее наняла Геральта для того, чтобы он присутствовал на банкете. На самом деле, его туда пригласил Лютик и его участие в этом событии - чистая случайность. А сражение за Содденский холм? Пофиг на то, что чародеи действительно отбивались от армии Нильфгаарда НА ХОЛМЕ, А НЕ В КРЕПОСТИ. Пофиг на то, что ключевую точку в сражении поставили Трисс и Йеннифэр, которые случайно сотворили градобитие, уничтожившее большую часть армии противника. Напалм наше всё! Жги этих чёрных так, чтоб аж в Новиграде было огни видать! И подобный бред можно ещё долго собирать по сериалу.
    И вот на этом моменте я никак не могу не сравнить сериал с фанатским фильмом, который был снят любителями на деньги с краудфандинга, который имел душу, но проседал по качеству из-за нехватки средств, в котором Ламберту умудрились СДЕЛАТЬ КОШАЧЬИ ГЛАЗА, в то время как Нетфликс положили на эту мелочь хер, из-за чего момент разговора Геральта с Висенной и фраза "Посмотри на мои глаза..." выглядели для меня максимально абсурдно.
    В общем, всё очень плохо. Я надеюсь, что Нетфликс откажется от продолжения, ведь я не смогу спокойно смотреть, как эти стервятники с максимальной наглостью издеваются над фанатами и губят то, что могло бы получиться хорошо, если бы попало в правильные руки. Лично от меня 0 баллов. Всем, кто ещё не смотрел, рекомендую НЕ СПОНСИРОВАТЬ ЭТИХ УБЛЮДКОВ. Если всё-таки есть желание посмотреть и составить собственное мнение, сделайте это на стороннем сайте.

Из плюсов музыка местами гуд, фехтование в сценах без магии и на этом все. Истории порезали,перекрутили и переврали. Было ощущение, что смотрю сериал "Великолепный век", но с магией.

Чего стоит момент когда Геральт вошел в башню в первой серии, это просто спецэффекты по качеству как в недавно вышедшем фанатском фильме, только там это можно оправдать очень маленьким бюджетом, а здесь не может быть никаких оправданий.
    Про гипертрофированную попытку везде засовывать чернокожих вызывая чувство вины за предков американцев, к которым славяне не имеют вообще никакого отношения, думаю говорить смысла нет, видеть их там просто смешно, особенно в доспехах.
    Перебитый в блендере сюжет, есть нечто иное как попытка выдать зрителю отвратительную и непригодную массу, которую он бы и палкой на случайной дороге не стал трогать. Видимо они считаю что подобное будет легче схавать. Может интеллектуально беззубый зритель это и проглотит, но время покажет как это пройдет для остальных.
    Нетфликс просто создал странного уродца, которого привели на блестящем от западных загонов поводке в мир тех людей, кто рос вместе с развитием всего что связанно с ведьмаком. Желая явить его как нечто совершенное и лучшее чем то что было, только мне кажется для убийства подобных уродцев, и существуют ведьмак.

    - buff guy and giant ass monster can easily hide in a shallow pond while fighting, but only until the little deer will spot them, after that they can barely fit in
    - when facing enemy forces, fighting inside a castle is gay - better leave it with little to no defense and face them in the flied
    - bad guys have magical sniping abilities and can shoot a target in the eye during a battle from a solid distance
    - cavalry is useless
    - armor is made of tin foil and can be cut through and penetrated with a single blow
    - arrows and missiles are gay, that's why only bad guys use them
    - spears are big gay, that's why no one uses them in combat
    - siege equipment during sieges is not cool - better charge at the giant ass gates with swords and axes, three people at a time
    - when enemies are at the gates, better wait till they breach and only then start running away
    - having sex with someone will make your partner prophet and give you magical mind reading abilities
    - refuse to help someone when they are in grave danger, but run to their help as fast as you can 12 hours later
    - city market is apparently an alley with no shops, stands or goods in general
    - army, that conquered half the world, has no concept of shields - good thing that they are useless anyway
    - you can walk through the entire city, while holding a knife near little girls throat and no one will bat an eye
    - what should you do, when someone just butchered your entire gang single-handedly and now begs you to leave? Threaten to kill a little girl and then the entire town, sure nothing can go wrong with that

    Линия Цири получилась просто скучной - она все 8 серий чего-то боится, бежит и участвует в бессмысленных сценах в Брокилоне, которые потеряли весь смысл из-за сильного изменения сценария - с ней нет Геральта и не объясняется ничего про воду Брокилона. Всё участие Цири можно было свести к двум сериям - с маленькой Цири и после резни в Цинтре, т.к. в итоге все неописанные в книге скитания Цири до Геральта можно смело выкинуть. Особенно обидно за ужасную идею злого допплера-маньяка и Мышовура.
    Кагыр - в сериале из него сделали воплощение зла. Цири его вообще не интересует теперь, как он в будущем сможет присоединиться к команде Геральта в поисках Цири - непонятно.

    De mon point de vue, l'attente était double : d'abord eu égard à la prodigieuse saga de Sapkowski, ensuite par rapport aux superbes adaptations en jeux vidéo de la part de CD Projekt Red qui a su montrer un immense respect des bouquins tout en apposant sa propre marque et personnalité au meilleur univers d'heroic-fantasy jamais créé...

    C'est dire si les espérances étaient élevées... et    De mon point de vue, l'attente était double : d'abord eu égard à la prodigieuse saga de Sapkowski, ensuite par rapport aux superbes adaptations en jeux vidéo de la part de CD Projekt Red qui a su montrer un immense respect des bouquins tout en apposant sa propre marque et personnalité au meilleur univers d'heroic-fantasy jamais créé...

    C'est dire si les espérances étaient élevées... et n'ont pas été comblées, bien au contraire. Mais le tableau n'est pas si noir ici (encore que...) puisque Henri "Superman" Cavill incarne avec un allant inattendu un super sorceleur ; il paraît que l'acteur est fan de la licence et le fait est que ça se voit à l'écran : il se déplace, parle et respire comme ce bon vieux Gérard ! cynique et désabusé, ronchon et anti-héros... héroïque à l'insu de son plein gré.

    Alors, si Gérard va, tout devrait rouler... et d'ailleurs les effets spéciaux et la réalisation sont de bonne facture ; et quelques trop rares moments feraient même croire au miracle... sauf que... la narration reste bordélique comme c'est pas possible dans cette "première saison" s'inspirant nettement du premier tome (de nouvelles) de la saga mais la transformant, la dénaturant entièrement ou presque. L'épisode du dragon par exemple est complètement à côté de la plaque... entre autres.

    Mais ce n'est pas tout, car la série balance ses enjeux n'importe comment et de façon si désordonnée que même en ayant lu tous les livres, on a du mal à s'y retrouver... alors on imagine pas la perplexité confuse que doivent ressentir les béotiens à cet égard. Décousues et souvent incohérentes, les situations se succèdent jusqu'au ridicule s'il le faut (par exemple, le magicien qui se tape la bossue...!).

    A part Cavill, on ne constate que des erreurs de casting : ils sont tous soit mauvais, soit incompétents ou bien les deux à la fois. Jaskier par exemple est une caricature insupportable... Ciri est une cruche nunuche, Yenefer est seulement... bien roulée et c'est tout.

    Par ailleurs, la diversité forcenée incluse au forceps nuit à toute la crédibilité du monde décrit ici, un monde de légendes slaves à l'origine... et cette diversité omniprésente manque elle-même de diversité puisqu'elle n'inclut aucun ou aucune asiatique... la diversité à sens unique en somme.

    A part ce bon vieux Gérard, trop de choses sonnent faux dans cette série. Dommage pour Cavill mais ce défilé d'impostures n'est pas vraiment regardable. Ce gros simulacre découpé en épisodes irrite au plus haut point, sans cesse, sans espoir de rédemption : parti sur les mauvais rails dès le départ, il n'arrivera jamais à destination.    … Expand

    It takes a while for viewers to learn how these characters are connected, via an exasperating Westworld-esque narrative knot that takes much of the season to unfurl. ... The Witcher heightens our confusion by fumbling details that would have helped it set a cohesive tone. Dialogue vacillates, from line to line, between theatrical fantasy-speak and modern colloquialisms (“Dragons are, in fact, a thing!”).
