    I can't believe that something as big as The Witcher could go to such comically low levels. The writing is terrible, boring and confusing. The CGI seems to have been made by a undergraduated intern, the bard's lute is clearly a sticker that got bubbles because of the rain, I'm shocked, honeslty. Netflix has been scammed spetacularly by the directors.

    The source material has been destroyed by writers who think they know better that the original autor. They have taken a great story and made it an adaptation of it with a marxist spin. Perhaps if I hadn't read all the books and played the games, then I would have a different opinion.

    1st season followed the books and was quite good

    2nd and 3rd season have diverted from the books/ game by writers who have self-professed to heavily dislike the original material Henry Cavill and the actors have done what they could with what they've been given. Unfortunate that the showrunner and writers have only served them with absolute **** Loved the books, loved the games -    1st season followed the books and was quite good

    I was really hopeful for this season to be something better.. and then I watched it. Netflix, you need to cancel the whole thing, it's disrespecting to the author of The Witcher, to the fan base and to the lore of the world.

    What did I just watch...they changing the characters in their shapes, colors, and even their sexual orientation, and changing the story is sloppy work that is rubbish.

    Seeing what Lauren Schmidt is doing with the Witcher franchise is disgusting. Going through this series is a real challenge. The feeling of wasted time makes life different can't blame Henry Cavill for being the only good thing in this series, but he should leave after the first season, seeing wtf is going on.

    The only good thing in this TV show is Henry Cavill Do not watch!
    The producer Lauren and writers have butchered the The Witcher show. The changes they made are a disrespect to the books written by Sapkowski.

    Ця лупа немає права називатись Відьмаком,
    а сценаристам потрібно заборонити писати .
    Навіть якщо б це недорозуміння називалось інакше -то оцінка була б "1" . Ніяка графіка і тонна грошей не спасе картину, якщо сценарій писали бездарі .    Ця лупа немає права називатись Відьмаком,

    Absolute disaster, disrespectful fanfic. Henry Cavil and Joe Batey singing was the only good thing in this abomination.

    They took one of my favorite shows and killed it, I won’t even finish this season because it’s that bad. I loved season 1 and season 2 was very good but this season sucks. There are more perversion sex scenes than monster killing scenes…… isn’t t that fun?!?!

    The writer if this show admitted she inserts her political views into the show because she thinks that somehow protects her daughter. We don't care about your political views, all you had to do was put the books on the screen and instead you pissed off Henry Caville and the entire fan base. Hopefully you never get another writing job again for messing this up.

    Horrendous and unbearable. Felt like coming from a wonderful meal at a Michelin-star restaurant but then immediately afterward being forced to eat the entire menu of a local Taco Bell.

    I wish I could get back the hours that I wasted trying to finish this show. Season 3 is a total deviation from almost all source material. It's filled with the typical Netflix nonsense and instead filled with the writers terrible made up stories and lazy storytelling.

    I loved Season 1 so goddamn much, watched it 4 times. How did that change into watching season 3 being a chore. I don't even consider watching season 2 again. Definately not watching season 4. They could've just stayed with the existing writing or game, but no...

    Season 3 pays off much of the show’s early promise—particularly between Geralt and Yennefer, whose shared scenes could snap any second from the romantic and sexual tension.

    Based on the initial episodes, Cavill could leave on a relatively high note, thanks to a tighter, more focused third season, at least initially, than the second offered.

    Season 3 of The Witcher has enough story and action to satisfy fans of the show. We just wish the characters had a bit more to say.
