    Better than season 1, and enjoyably paced, I see an unfortunate number of bad reviews by people claiming black people and people of color broke their immersion in a show that happens in a different universe with magic and monsters... Why would this universe speak in English, let alone

    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...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was really trying to enjoy this season since I believed the writers finally learnt to stick to the books. Instead I got Rience killed by Geralt (Rience was meant to get killed by Ciri way later on in the books), Jaskier and Radovid kissing in a random building, Phillipa Eilhart scissoring some random blonde, Mistle somehow traveling all the way from where Ciri first met her that fast, Cahir randomly changing his mind mid-fight even after getting his position back after killing his best friend, etc.

    Ciri's actor did outstandingly well, hence why I even gave this crap a one. It's a shame Geralt was sidelined.    … Expand

    This show shouldn't be called "The Witcher". "The Gachimucher" would be a much better name instead.

    I felt like this season wasn't about the Witcher at all... He became a side character. Also, 90% is dialog with only one episode being intense and fun to watch. Overall super disappointed.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Когда я начал видеть, что они пытаются изобразить однополую искру любви между Лютиком и принцем, я не испытывал отвращение, но испытывал чувство кринжа. До последнего надеялся, что это просто очень плохо прописанные сцены, но...лол, они серьёзно превратили лютика в гея)))
    И самое смешное, что с точки зрения сюжета или раскрытия персонажей, это ни на что не влияет. Это просто есть, ради того, что бы есть.
    Я всегда с равным чувством презрения и чувства кринжа относился к нытикам про повестку. Но тут она настолько бессмысленно и беспощадная встроена, как если бы русалочку попытались сделать чёрной. Только для того что бы бороться с расизмом, что по иронии, ещё больший расизм в контексте целенаправленной фокусировки внимания на цвете кожи...ой, подождите...

    В общем, ни один сериал где двое мужчин в т.ч. и сексом занимались, не вызывал особо никаких эмоций. Здесь же, отвратительное чувство кринжа.    … Expand

    The season 3 was an abomination. The director and writers should be fired at once. The witcher series can be the most GOATED series of all time but these feminsts agenda **** ruined it. Now , i understand why henry left and who gives a **** about Liam Hensworth. I will never watch any more upcoming season of this abomination.
    This show must be cancelled at once by netflix.

    Easily the worst season with bad writing, confusing storyline and a horrible ending. It doesn't help that they changed genders, sexual preferences, and the races of many of their characters. Clear agenda by the industry, and we see it in action again here. The Witcher is not even about the witcher anymore, it's about some powerful strong women.

    The show has rotten into a series about women **** to each other whilst the main characters story arc seems more like a side hustle. If you hated season 1 you might enjoy this one as they have nothing in common whatsoever.

    The CGI is worse than ever before, you can clearly see the digital blood, green screens etc. Geralt barely holds his own infront of actual monsters and needs ciri to save him.

    Really disappointed. There is so many plot holes in this show right now. I'm all about tv adaptations, and I even enjoy when the content diverges from the original story as it can, sometimes, bloom into its own thing. I found myself quite uninterested while watching this season, especially the last episodes...

    No wonder Henry is bailing (scored 1 for Henry). Honestly I felt like I was watching a day time soap opera. And they glossed over the relationship with Jen and Ciri.. my partner who hasn't played the games but watched all episodes is like why is she calling her Daughter.. so obviously they dropped the character dev ball.    … Expand

    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.

    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.
