    Vesemir which was a "smartest" and most experience act like dumb kid, Yen which kiddnap Ciri ? Eskel was ruined, just why? A main plot twist about Emhyr show in the beggining ? WHAAAT ?
    Dwarfs which was WARRIORS,(LOTR could be a good example)
    ground was shaking when they they marched to war(from books) looks like ANOTHER FCK JOKE. Fringila? I Have no words... Cahir ? How did you dare to mess this character so much.

    4.Costiumes, some locations looks like tooken directly from the store or theathre. Where is this DARK, BLOODY WITCHER WORLD ???
    Why they look so CLEAN ???
    Im so sorry about HENRY.
    He is a Gamer, book lover and if he says "Have to fight to have more Real Geralt" sounds bad. And he is complectly right!
    5.Why game of lights is so poor? Why we can't feel a darkness?
    This is not a fck colorful family fantasy movie...


    We were waiting so many years for trully good movie/series of Witcher and got this ? All your positive comments comes from people who has no idea what they lost compare to oryginal story. I WISH HBO HAS RIGHTS TO WITCHER TO DO IT RIGHT,    … Expand

    I'm a big fan of the books and the games. What I think: Henry Cavill is absolutely great. His portrayal of Geralt is excellent. He really is a gem and the one redeeming quality of this show. All the rest, I'm afraid, is a mess. Bad writing topped with some feminist/woke propaganda, terrible casting, bad acting and so on. What a disappointment.

    THE WITCHER RUINED. The Witcher could be a good series, but the writers showed zero respect for the source material. The novels are good. What they did with them is just stupid and pathetic. Why?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A thorough dissappointment! I really liked season 1, it was not perfect, the cast was far from perfect, but it was fun, the changes made sense to me (especially showing Yennefer's backstory) and Henry channeld Gerald far better than I had ever expected. Season 2 started great! While the 1st episode is not a faithful adaption, it is close enough, it is very well made, the effects are great, acting is great, really gave me hope. But after that, everything went south.

    I know the books by heart, I have read every one at least twice, so when Netflix announced a truthful adaption, you probably know what I expected. What I got was probably a "loosely based on", by my estimation, at the very least 60% of season 2 never happened in the books. Changing that much is not a good sign, it can work, if you stay true to the spirit of the source material and the characters. This show does not. I readily accept that the showrunners wanted more action, I'm good with that. I really like getting more elven backstory, I think that will pay off in season 3, when they introduce the Scoia'Tael.

    What I can't accept is fundementally changing characters and killing them for no reason, while they are very much alife in the books. What I can't accept is completely changing the story and interaction between Yennefer, Ciri, Geralt and Wesemir, changing the characters fundamentals and their relations. Yenefer is in every sense a mother figure for Ciri, turning her into a power hungry **** ready to sacrifice her adopted daugther to a demon for power is so out of bounds of the characters, it hurts writing these lines.

    What else is bad? Most of the casting. The Witcher is based on slavic countries and folklore, add in too much diversity and woke agenda, you ruin it and more important, you fail to drive home basic messages of the books. Also a lot of scenes are pure cringe, witchers don't fight monsters in winter in t-shirts, you don't train in winter in light dresses, you actually heat rooms... I won't go into much detail, but "looks good" was actually way more important than "makes sense or could work".

    So, what's good? I think, the visuals, locations and so on have greatly improved. The show looks really good. Henry is the perfect witcher, Freya is a good Ciri, their chemistry is great. Anna is acting-wise a good Triss, also she will never look the part. I like how Jaskier is handled, and I like Francesca as well.

    For these reasons it is a 3 out of 10. But Netflix did kill the show for me. I probably won't watch season 3 or a spin-off, the franchise is basically dead for me.    … Expand

    It is quite difficult to watch if you read the book. Main characters are missing depth and motivation for their actions. The main story from the book is simplified but idiotic new story is introduced. What is Baba Yaga doing here? She is from Russian tales, probably they read the wrong books by mistake.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well, well, well. Where to start? I will ignore the fact that we cannot call it adaptation as beside main characters names there is nothing in common with books - I can ignore that if quality of script and narration would be good. But it's poor as hell. From logic gaps, instant transportation or people and horses, poor dialogs and idiotic conversations by weird weak play with light, general plastic of whole world, and general poor reliability (simply yeah - bunch of elves is coming into big city and kill children with magic - I'm sure that all people decided to remove themselves from the street... it's so idiotic that it reached level of parody at this point). There is no climate, inside world is not interesting and sadly there is no inside world logic in it. It's just boring - I literarily felt asleep on it. I'm done with the Witcher series - there is no point waiting for another season. I rather like to wait for someone else to buy the rights from Netflix in 30 years as it's obvious they decided they want to produce B/C class fantasy shows. And for B/C class fantasy show it's good. But you know - B/C is not something I watch to watch. I would say it's like Xena - but Xena had much better narration and at least a little bit of storybuilding behind it - here I fear the show writers (and showrunner) were on drugs - it's so chaotic and without inside logic - that I can only receive it as parody at this point. Considering it all old Polish (look for it) one was weak because of lack of money. Netflix one is weak because it's a show about teenagers imprisoned in adult bodies, written by adults with the mentality of teenagers.… Expand

Season one was really bad and due to changes made to the story, they are going deeper and deeper into the world of terrible confusion and at the same time feeding us horrible experiences. Dialogs are written once in the tones of fantasy and in other times modern talk. The political correctness that changed the plot and characters in season one now just makes it unwatchable. The story of Ciri was a story of a child and clearly here she is a woman. I do not see redemption for this series. I like Henry but he should know better not to be part of this atrocity.… Expand

    When you assasinate all the characters and completely disregard the source material, at least make it interesting. But this season was boring af. The first episode was the only that actually kept me interested. The rest just feels like they arbitrarily picked plot tools to somehow get to the end and slightly adapted some minor details to the source.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Even after only watching until episode 5 i can already tell where Netflix is taking the series... The episodes so far have been pretty boring for the most part, the only characters that are kind of interesting are Geralt and Ciri. I couldn't care less about Yennefer's storyline, it's a shame what they did to her, her character had so much potential. Apart from that there are small (but noticeable) logical flaws throughout the season so far. For example characters that are supposed to be dead are suddenly... not dead anymore?? And why is it proof that if Yennefer kills some random nilfgaardian knight in front of everybody that she's not spying for Nilfgaard?
    Many things aren't explained very well or not at all; it's hard to see a meaning behind a lot of decisions characters make or how things eventually turn out.
    I expected a lot more tbh but then again... it's Netflix. And Netflix tends to ruin quite a lot of series after the first season, mainly due to a "woke" or in this case just a bad script.    … Expand

    Insufferably long and uneventful. This season butchered the character development of so many and did nothing with a lot of them. This could have easily been cut down into 4-5 episodes. Dragging it on as long as they did with such a mediocre story did far more harm than good.

    More of the same anti-white bs agenda. And it continues to ignore the actual Witcher story. I could maybe forgive the casting of black and brown people in roles of white characters, if in fact the cast had good actors in it. Frangila, for example, is so vulgar as a person, it keep taking me out of the show. Vesemir looks like a used car salesmen which I think they found somewhere in CarsonMore of the same anti-white bs agenda. And it continues to ignore the actual Witcher story.

This show is a mess and the creators are pathetic spineless marxist chumps.… Expand

    I’m really hoping they keep the good quality going and explain more of the lore eventually. I loved the characters and how human they are despite their fantastic powers. Here’s to season 2!!

    This show isn't good. No one could possibly argue that it was anything other than poor. Cavill carries it to some degree, but the amateurish story telling and action is just too much.
    Having said that, giving it 0 or 1 is just ridiculous; these are rage scores. I'm giving it 3 because Cavill is good and because bad as it was, I still sat through it all.

    I watched second season - it was bad, but Henry Cavill still was good as Gerald.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only scenes I like are the ones with Henry, but he can't carry this show on his own. He's maybe in 30% of the scenes. I don't know why the writers thought it was a good idea to rewrite this story. The original books and video games were all well received by fans, this season 2 not so much. What does that tell you? The writers need to be replaced. Without Henry I don't think this show will last. Also, the positive critic review are suspicious.… Expand

    I was too dumb to understand plot, please dumb it down more. +1 point because of Henry Cavill still beeing Geralt.

    The show has earned a sizable amount of goodwill in an impressively short time, and even if we can no longer see the destination, The Witcher still feels like a hell of an adventure.

    Watching the foundation get laid isn’t always exciting, but it does feel like showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich is building toward rousing sequences and cares about each of the characters equally. Whether you feel the same doesn’t really matter. “The Witcher” is in it for the long haul, and even if Season 2 feels longer than it should, you won’t regret the ride.

    “The Witcher” constantly struggles to balance its dialogue-driven scenes with pushing the plot forward. It can be an exhausting show in terms of pace—every single episode feels longer than it actually is.
