Abomination destroyed by modern broken times.
Season 1 was watchable but not all the time.
Season 2 is one big joke after 1st episode.
Season 3 is just an insult.

Worst adaptation on Netflix. Scenario - 0/10, Miscast - 100/10, costumes - 0 / 10, SJW theme - 1000/10.
H. Cavill - the only good in whole story about Herald of Rivia in that Netflix adaptation.

You realize which a series is a complete failure when you start to receive spams from Netflix asking you to watch until the end.
Really... Just drop it, Netflix. You spoiled the story, there is no need to prolong this suffering.

Adaptations of characters and story is absolutely fine but everything here in this series is nonsensical and a complete and utter mess. Unranked amateurs is the only way I can think of to describe the writers and directors as the majority of the actors and actresses are doing their best to squeeze a diamond out of a turd of a script. I'm done with this series I'm going to dedicate my time to programming that isn't helmed by inept buffoonery.… Expand

Somehow, I fell into the world of The Witcher, I've now finished all the games, read the books, listened to the stories, so I was really looking forward to the series, and this is truly a tragedy. Henry carried the entire series on his shoulders. Once again, a mess for fulfilling your idiotic quotas.

I can't recall any famous blockbuster from a SLAVIC setting. I was looking forward to some new Slavic folk music; your pop music is pure cringe that made my toes curl. Even if Blizzard is a failed company in many ways, they made sure that the film warcraft was good. I can't understand how CD Projekt/Sapkowski allowed such a rape of The Witcher (Maybe after Cyberpunk, i understand). The Slavic touch is completely absent. It's more like modern London... It's a shame we can't give negative ratings. -10 for the series, +100 for Henry. I wish you bankruptcy for destroying another brand I loved!

I take it as racism against Slavs.

PS: Better watch this on youtube PO POL STOROČÍ POÉZIE - ZAKLÍNAČ FAN FILM (there are subs for that ) , it's much better and the film was made by amateurs.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The series starts really pulling your leg. For now reason at all Yennefer has been forgiven for all she did in season two, Ciri just went over it. Geralt took more or less two episodes to forgive Yennefer. The first 5 episodes practically exclude, episode by episode, Geralt and becomes Yennefer/Ciri centric, why? For what reason the Witcher series is all but about the Witcher? Is there some type of reason for this? Why does this TV series go so much off the rails compared to the original books? The story isn't even slightly similar to the games. Even the numerous fans of the book and games are shouting out to the producers asking, at this point, to terminate this horror of, well whatever you want to say (or think).… Expand

I find it utterly disgusting that creatively bankrupt writers abuse not only the public entertainment stage, but also widely loved story-IP and twist it into poorly fabricated concoctions that serve little more than promoting their far-left morally depraved ideology.

The writing was terrible and haphazardly cobbled together into a disorganised plot, the costume design was truly terrible at times, the action sequences had potential but were always too short and barely ever happened. The witcher is a monster hunter and you see a handful of monsters and the CGI for them is either bad or serviceable but you quickly learn they have very few tools in the box for designs even though they have a full game catalogue of designs to pull from.

The heavy leftist ideology pushed throughout the show sends it fully over the cliff with everyone being brown somehow in a story created by a white European using white European folklore, black washing works is unacceptable. Its as unacceptable as it would be if a black writer created a fantasy based on African folklore and it got whitewashed. Race swapping established characters is divisive, unnecessary, harmful and creates nothing of value. The showrunner, producers and writers will never admit fault, they will never admit it was their lack of vision, incompetence and their brutal shove it down your throat attitude with their far left extremist ideology that destroyed what had the potential to be a great live action adaption in a franchise that has renowned books and games.

He has been made to look weak because of the pathetic woke writing that wants to showcase all the female characters and how great and powerful they can be rather than giving the fans what they actually want. The story is so far from the books and games that it doesn't actually make any sense. Fair play to Henry Cavill for getting out before the show gets cancelled… Expand

Absolute travesty of an adaptation. A Witcher-series where the Witcher isn't the main character.

The characters aren't themselves, their relationships and dynamics are changed. The world isn't the same and the rules that govern it are ignored.

It seems the writers haven't decided if they should be inventing a wholly new narrative or if they should follow the original, and the result is a hot mess. A mixture which contradicts itself, and in which the characters' actions make even less sense.

Only thing in common with the original works are names of places and characters. And monsters I guess.

I held out on watching this when it released, just so I could binge multiple seasons when it was finished. And yikes, stopped at S2 finale - couldn't take this anymore.

A point for Geralt's wig, and another to Dandelion's song in S1.… Expand

The books and the games have already established a massive fan base, and the story is already written. All they have to do is transcribe it from book to screen, and you'd have the best show of the decade. It's so simple. You have to be a extremely bad writer/director/producer to make something so great so bad. It's also extremely unethical to take someone's life's work and change the source material with such disrespect. Then, just to make everything so much worse, you add on top of that fan baiting. Fan Baiting is done on purpose to not only stir up controversy for publicity but also serves as a barrier to real criticism and ensures that the show will succeed because if anyone has a different opinion, they will just be labeled as a "racist/sexist/transphobe/etc." and their opinion is ignored. It's a method to make everyone think you're virtuous when really you're just a horrible person spreading hate with anyone who has a different opinion than your own. You act like you're fighting fascism by spreading and using fascism. It's hypocrisy in action.… Expand

The strenghts of the show include Henry Cavill and the Yennifer actress plus the Pavetta storyline. I don't know why Hollywood has such a hard time sticking to the lore, these books have been immensely successful, they spawned 3 great games which too have been immensely successful, if they copied either the books or the games they'd have less work to do and much higher success, instead the writers/director decided to inject intersectional politics (look it up to see why most modern TV/Movies sucks). Mediocre writing, changing the lore, slow pace, unfortunately this show looks like generic, bland, woke cr*p that you see in all modern entertainment, it's just a fantasy setting with characters that you vaguely know but at the same time they don't act or talk like you think they would. It seems the writers wanted to make their own show which would have failed had they not baited the fans with the Witcher brand. Adding to the pile of revived and desecrated corpses of once great franchises and characters such as Obi-Wan, Star Trek, Willow, we add the Witcher. What else will Hollywood desecrate?… Expand

Possibly the least difficult thing to adapt to is the weak casting or certain characters, the descriptions in the books are not often honoured by the show but probably not easy to find people described in the books. It's watchable, it's probable that many of us were spoilt by the incredible games, but it is also a let down and I would say that the head writer is most to blame, alongside the producer.

I've never rated tv before but I wasn't able to pass such a nonsense.

There are few main things to mention: 1. Story is badly written. It switch contexts extremely often. I was not even able realize what's going on. Even if I read booksI've never rated tv before but I wasn't able to pass such a nonsense.

There are few main things to mention:
1. Story is badly written. It switch contexts extremely often. I was not even able realize what's going on. Even if I read books before!
2. Feminism agenda is very aggressive. This tv is not about witcher, it is about Yennifer and Ciri. Witcher, who is supposed to be cool guy like a Conan, is shown as dum puppet. He is dull and barely speaks words. In contrast, Yennifer's personal line is rich and emphasized.
3. Diversity agenda is also exceptionally aggressive. People of colors in every scene of this slavic fantasy. Fantasy genre has historic background in middle ages Europe where people of colors where not so common. It happened because most of kingdoms where small and essentially represented monoculture. I.e. it is normal for any middle age kingdom to be all white or all black or all asian, but not the crazy mix of different colors. But here we see just that, every kingdom here is small NY city in miniature. The Witcher universe contains multiple races but I wasn't able to realize who was elf or dwarf. Compared to that it is just impossible to miss difference in races in Lord of the Rings or Hobbit movies.
4. The cast - this is the worst cast I've ever seen. H. Cavil is exception but he can't save this show from bad writing.
This TV is complete trash. I was furious at the beginning but I've given it the second chance. Then I finally realized this show is just boring and weak.
To Netflix: do you really think this is what women want to watch? How is your analytics? I bet this sh... is not popular among women nor men anymore.… Expand

This is despite the fact that the authors of the show completely distorted the message of the books, the world with its features, the characters and the race with their prejudices.
This show even as an independent work is bad - there is not even a hint of realism and logic and the visual component is not pleasing to the eye. But this is a show based on the book, so to say that it is bad show is to praise it. The series is terrible.
The characters are bad, there is not a single match for the book character. Races and kingdoms are poorly represented, magic looks like a laughing stock, the troops of all states look squalid, and witchers look like idiots. Almost all men are exposed as cretins, but women do not lag behind in the stupidity of their actions and judgments.
The plot is disgusting - in the first season there was still an attempt to show the events of the book, but in the season 2 authors decided to tell something of their own, distorting the original source. It came out awful.
What can I say about this show? Lauren Hissrich, writers and other directors - mediocrity, which should be throw away from the series. Netflix, hands off Witcher!… Expand

Characters are introduced with out explanation or naming, despite how "important" they are. The disjointed timeline is totally unexplained and leaves those without prior knowledge of the lore wondering what the hell they are watching.
2 of the 3 female "leads" are miscast, Cavill is... different, his performance improves in season 2.
I'd wager that if 'flix hadn't forked out millions for the rights and this wasn't The Witcher it would have been cancelled after 1 season.

Season 2 is better but not by much. More awful acting and atrocious dialogue. Dozens of intertwining stories get lost in the ether by bad writing and producing.

And the casting is something else entirely. I don't profess to having encyclopedic knowledge of every bit actor in Europe by any means, but if they've got the word "actor" on their CV Netflix has found them and put them in this show. I don't think I've recognised a single face apart from Cavill's and that Tormund from GoT. I've seen pornstars with better acting ability than this cast

The CGI in both seasons looks like something from the early days of Sharknado. And the sets look like, yes, rejects from Game of Thrones.

The Witcher TV show is wasted opportunity. The reality is it should have followed the games as much as the books. Watching the behind the scenes vignettes and the show runner thinks they are doing a bang-up job. They're not, The Witcher sucks and the only barely redeeming feature is Cavill as Geralt.… Expand
