I knew this show will be a disaster and doomed, when I heard that Hissrich will be in charge. I was totally right!
Stop butchering the literary sources!

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

I loved the games, thought the books were okay, but this is an absolutely crap television show (or rather, attempt at one). To be expected from Netflix, but I actually expected better when I heard Cavill was starring in it.

The plot jumpsI loved the games, thought the books were okay, but this is an absolutely crap television show (or rather, attempt at one). To be expected from Netflix, but I actually expected better when I heard Cavill was starring in it.

The plot jumps all over the place, with three different timelines. The jumping makes absolutely zero sense. There was no reason to film it this way and it just confuses most people. The dialogue is trash, there are so many blacks in this that it goes from confusing tokenism to pathetic pandering, and the only person who can act (surprise, it's Cavill) has a script that is ninety percent composed of grunts and single word mutterings of ****.

Skip this trash heap.… Expand

Netflix's The Witcher does an admirable job of turning off it's audience pretty quickly by establishing a show that is jumpy, poorly written, and for the most part badly acted. Following the plot threads of Yennifer, Geralt, and Ciri. The Witcher deals with the theme of destiny in that all three characters have their fates interwoven and are destined to unite. The shame about this is that along the road I just stopped caring enough to actually give a rats when they do eventually meet up.Geralts journey is by far the most interesting and his action scenes are by far the best part of the show. Henry Cavill also seems to really give it his all which is a shame because he does have the makings of a good Geralt. Yennefer and Ciri's stories however are dull and boring. While it is admirable that the TV show does what the books do not and try to give Yennefer a deepper backstory, her story sucks, coming across as some Harry Potter eske narrative that is uninspired and painful to watch. Ciris journey from Cintra in the book Blood of Elves was never too interesting for me and I often found myself keen to get back to Geralts adventures. But in the TV show it reaches a whole new level of awful as it's painfully dragged out across atleast over 5 episodes (Where i'm up to).

The acting in this show is mostly awful. Aside from Cavill whom I mentioned earlier as being a saving grace of the show actors such as those who portray Yennefer, Ciri, and Dandellion are all terribly miscast. Characters such as Renfri and Stregobor feel like completely different characters to how they appeared in the book. And majority of the remaining supporting cast are wooden and lifeless.

The plot of the show is like a proverbial Frankensteins monster. Jamming up to three books worth of story into a single episode instead of giving each story time. The episodes are in such a rush to pass the finish line they often skip the line and keep going. The books adapted for the show from what I've found are Blood of Elves, and the short story collections The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny. Any one of these books alone are strong enough to hold a season and yet the show keeps jamming more and more exposition down the audiences throught in an attempt to speed-run through all the Witcher books in a few episodes as possible. What doesn't help this show is the inevitable comparisons to CD Projekts Witcher games which are a far better adaptation. Fans of the game series will more than likely find many issues with the show and for good cause. While the books author did not appreciate the games (aside from the money they made him) they were a far more valiant error in translating his work. Even with Sapkowskis involvement in the creative process of this show the show continues to disappoint over and over again.… 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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. OK, let's tick off the Fantasy Genre tropes list..

Brooding, hunky, anti-hero who struggles to deal with who he is, gets thrown into a narrative by an action we discover as and when the writers deem it necessary.

Sultry, somewhat top-heavy, exotic, young woman who possesses magical powers. Driven by her defiance of rules laid down, she ends up being central to the other 'half' of the narrative.

Pre-teen Princess, blonde hair, innocent in appearance but harbouring a potentially malevolent and uncontrollable force within. The core character that the other two are destined to have their lives revolve around (going into Season 2). Oh, and said Princess has to be played by an actress who is clearly about Eighteen years old.

So, tick.. tick.. tick.

What has The Witcher got to offer people who might have been drawn in by what the producers hope will be the next teenagers blood and boobs fix, now Game of Thrones has ended...?
Not much, to be honest.
The story is bland and derivative, the characters likewise. The acting is as good as it can be, given the utterly awful dialogue. The CGI is passable, at best.

But what makes the show pretty unworthy of your time, is that outside of a few moments of excitement contained in each Sixty minute episode, you've Fifty minutes of sheer boredom.
The climax to the Season, whilst offering a cliffhanger to move on from, didn't make me want to see what happens next...

Disappointing!!… Expand

Come on. Good thing they didn’t cast Jamie Foxx as the Witcher. There is a lot of time jumping, which will inevitably confuse non die hard audience. Oh, and finally, the creators really wanted to show us the grand scheme of things. So we have politics, epic battles, sorcerers plotting etc., all squeezed into this rather short series. And that was a poor decision in my opinion, because it cut short the screen time of a surprisingly good Witcher character played by Cavil. There’s simply too little Witcher in the Witcher.… Expand

But the second season is already a transition to the section of comedy and bullying of the original source.

Ive read the books, Ive played the games and what you get out of this amounts to a very ham fisted police procedural with Geralt of Rivia tracking down and dealing with the "monster of the week" despite all the episodes dropping at the same time.

The story lacks the depth of the source materials or their much more famous video games. It is the epitome of generic, bland, and uninteresting.

While the casting looked to have been the biggest problem ultimately that is one of the more pleasant surprises. Cavill pulls off a reasonably convincing Geralt. "Jaskier" is a gem to watch. Young Freya does a great job a Princess Cirilla before she evolves to become the Ciri we know. Question is will she be up to the physicality of the role in later seasons IF it gets that far.

That said the most glaring casting issue is without a doubt Anya Chalotra as Yennifer. Now that has absolutely nothing to do with her heritage and nearly everything to do with the reality that she simply cannot act to save her life. Her scenes are tedious to watch and devoid of emoting. She acts like she is Valedictorian of the Kristen Stewart academy for girls who dont act so good.

Beyond that she does not remotely look the part that she is there to portray. Again not because the color of her skin but because as the books put it, Yennifer was supposed to be an unsurpassed beauty and designed physical perfection and Cholatra has all sorts of imperfections, and definitely the wrong physique for the character. Its Gal Gadot for Wonder Woman wrong.

That leads into the next major problem. With her inability to act it drags the whole production down given how much of the story is centered around Yen's exploits. It just keeps getting harder and harder to watch as the show goes on. What makes it worse is that there is absolutely NO chemistry between Cavill and Cholatra. In every possible way, be it emotionally, physically, romantically the coupling is like that of Hugh Jackman and his wife cognitive dissonance that the brain does not want to compute.

Again, none of that would be all that bad if it not for the reality of how much of the plot revolves around their shared sexuality.

As for the controversy, turns out it was mostly inflated. Seemingly stemming mostly from those dissatisfied with the show taking starkly different direction away from the games. In reality most of the choices made were semi logical and more in line with the books. Yet despite that the story builds itself to be more geared towards women than it does men. Namely those women who feasted on the likes of Game of Thrones and Vikings and serves to fill that niche. The comparison to Game Of Thrones was always doomed to be inaccurate. It is much closer to compare it to Vikings with more magic if anything. Much simpler, much more generic, lacking depth and having even less subtlety. I place it somewhere between Vikings and The Last Kingdom and much closer to the latter than the former.

Visually it is well made, at least as it relates to physical landscapes go. The CGI tend to be pretty bad and highly dated. This means that long term the show will NOT hold up well under age.

All in all the show is tolerable. I have sat through far worse things, but not too many. This show is mostly for those who obsess over fandoms and are going to like the show regardless of how "not good" it is OR those who are just watching it as filler material. Mostly while doing anything else and leaving it running as background noise.

Ultimately Season 1 was an utter disappointment. That does not mean that future seasons cannot make the show better. It simply needs more depth in writing and if there were ever a case to be made for recasting a lead, This is a perfect example of where it is needed AND how it could be easily done with the built in "world of magic" excuse that could explain why Yen would change her look again and again. It would not fit with the show runners determination to utilize POCwashing but ideally Yen should have been played by someone such as Katie McGrath who would have at least checked most of the boxes, has experience playing a role as someone who can be endearing one moment then cold and unlikable the next.

All in all the show could have been a solid 7 but on the weakness of Chalotra lack of acting ability in a crucial role, the generic writing and the police procedural more stand alone episodic format that is taking television backwards it can only muster a 3 for the first season. Definitely a foundation to build on, but far from being the most stable.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The timeline irritated the crap out of me. It jumps forward and backwards with too similarily looking characters without much other details. The characters will look familiar but until you set them side by side you'll realize what they are doing. Unless you analyze the show or watch it in incredible detail the timeline is hard to follow.

There is a series of 3 wishes and they silent out the final wish. Super annoying writing and I stopped it right after that and was done. There's not enough boobs or fighting to keep me interested in finishing with my struggles to follow the plot of the story.

Witcher is cool character. Bard I hated all the scenes he was in. Witch was just a boobie show and is just whiney/teen agnsty in all of her scenes. I get enough of that in real life.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Henry Cavill is the only reason to watch the show. His portrayal of Geralt is right on spot.
Everything else is a pile of plot holes and wokeness.

For example, straight from the beginning. How exactly does a kingdom sneakily invade their neighbor? Are there no spies to let the other kingdom know what's going to happen? Are there no sentinels and message pidgeons to let the king know there is an army approaching the border? HOW? If a kingdom fails at such an epic scale to defend itself, then their defeat is wholly DESERVED! And when the army finally invades the capitol city, why exactly do they burn it down?! It makes no sense to waste resources and men, only to destroy the reward for all that effort.

Queen Calanthe at a party quite openly, publicly and strongly, INSULTS the son of the neighboring kingdom which was even richer and more militarily powerful than her own, FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER, proving that no only she doesn't even know the meaning of the word Diplomacy, but also common sense is equally meaningless to her.
Oh, and also "Why am I following laws made by men?!".

This failure of queen is supposed to make the viewer sympathetic to her plight? WHY?!

The show is filled with scenes where female characters whine about how oppressed they are, and how men are garbage. Also, all villains and shady characters are men. But then that was to be expected from Netflix. What was bizarre for Netflix, is that even up to episode 4 there are no LGBT characters. I half expected all the important female characters to be raging lesbians, given the wokeness of Netflix. Is this a China thing? Because China hates LGBT content?

Also what's with all the black people?! The show is based on a book based on the Polish medieval folklore. There were no black people in medieval Poland.

On a closing point, the show feels very...small scale. The locales are beautiful in CGI, but everything else feels like it was filmed in a small studio, very..."Chronicles of Shannara"-like

I would have given it a 0, but Henry Cavill's performance brings it 3 points.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 7 episode, the total destruction of the majestic Jennifer. Why add so many stupid, unnecessary, destroying images of the hero of the scene? But they cut down other stories, removed a lot of good, revealing many actions moments. And they added this. Why am I ashamed to watch this? What a terrible chronology of events? A person unfamiliar with books will generally become entangled in chronology. Why was it necessary to slam the battle for zintra at the very beginning, and then confuse people with a feast?
Why not insert first the Feast revealing the same husband of Kalante? and only then kill him.
Disgusting direction. A bunch of stupid moments.
Why did they insert so many passages from 1 episode? Just saving, by the principle, and so it goes, they will eat it. Disgusting.
I really looked forward to the series, but I was very disappointed in it. Mb for a person not at all familiar with the Witcher universe, the series will be interesting. But for the fan, he is vile.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Можно начать с того, что если бы сериал от ведьмака не позиционировался как "убийца" Игры Престолов и не был бы флагманом нетфликс, то и относились бы к нему по другому. Актерская игра оставляет желать лучшего, особенно кидается в глаза Йеннифер от Anya Cholatra, которая ну ник не тянет на 100+ летнюю чародейку, диалоги сильные но играет она откровенно плохо. Нетфликс, если вы делаете сериал по книгам славянского писателя, который создавал свой мир на основе средневековой Польши(сильно сомневаюсь, что его основные персонажи особенно эльфы могли быть чернокожими), то и актеров подбирай по цвету кожи соответствующему. Брали бы пример с HBO и ее Игрой Престолов, там такого мракобесия нет или с CPR, которые сделали великолепную игру на которая получилась шедевром! Йеннифер которая махает мечом как Геральт! вы серьезно?! то же самое Вильгефорц( актер тоже подобрал с учетом всех толерантных тенденций), один из самый сильный чародее, сражается с Кагыром на мечах и проигрывает ему, бред просто(хочу напомнить что Вильгефорц в первой стычке с Геральтом поломал его и чуть не убил, убил высшего вампира Региса(играл в игру или читал книгу поймет, что это почти не возможно))!

Horrible casting. The only saving grace was Cavill. The actress's that play Triss, Yenn, and Ciri were all cringe as hell.

If you are hoping this will be like the books this is a travesty. The characters are very hit and miss with Henry cavils Geralt the only redeeming feature the actor who played ciri do quite well as well.

The books somewhat, the games a lot. Since I saw the first trailer for the show I feared they wanted it to become their own Game of Thrones. As Sapkowski is what he is, see the lawsuit against CD Project and his remarks about the games, I expected him to see the show as a cash grab, too. So I am not even surprised.

I liked some of the fighting scenes, the atmosphere was somewhat interesting and the show often shows a mature approach. Cool.
Then again there are scenes that feel just akward, narratives that have weird pacing, weird dialogue and even the high polished shots and forced camera angles can't make up for the....'meh-feeling' I get when watching this show.
Thr main character does a good job on portraying Geralt but that's it.

In the end, to me, this is the bad clone of game of thrones I feared it would be, with little added value, having read the books and played the games. The latter having a narrative and heart(!) that this show cannot compete with.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only saving grace is the choreography. Cast was horrendous aside from Henry Cavill, Triss Merrigold being the worst among them all, completely ruined my impression. The settings felt cheap, especially the forest and the dragon, what the heck was going on? even LOTR in the 2000s did much better. Then it's the horrible writing, the incoherence and chaos. Throw everything at your face at one time, boring monologue at the other. The whole sequence of events were presented in a way that nobody would understand without reading the books or play the games, lucky that I did both. The scenes just felt dumbed down from the book, the jinn scene, the dragon scene, everything felt cheap especially the lighting in Brokilon, omg what the fxxk was that?

While the lacking of brilliant writing and fancy visuals won't kill a show, the utterly disgusting casting choices, the lack of character development (especially compare to GOT) and terrible immature dialogues made it unwatchable.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lauren S. Hissrich wrote the script just for a sake of promoting feminism and diversity. Every good aspect of the series of books was misconstructed, changed to fit the main narrative. Characters are caricatures of them self. Many aspects of original stories are skipped while whole other stories are created. Character traits are changed, dialogs poorly written frequently change situation, pushing feminist agenda in to viewers throat. Almost whole story of Yennefer was created for a sake of strong female lead. It's weird feeling that tv series about witcher is mainly about Yennefer and Cirila with few quick-cut scenes showing cuts of Gerald. Calente is another example of character that's over the top (clearly miss cast). Her behavior is borderline (aura of being drugged). Humor in books is subtle while in the series jokes are delivered Deadpool style. Tissaia de Vries played by MyAnna Buring is bright light in this series. Great cast and her character fits the books.

Many people write that Henry C. is made for the role. In my opinion he does not understand character and performs badly. His claim that he is a fan of the series and that he read the whole series and then goes to say that Geralt is a white knight is bit outlandish. Simple lie for a sake of the interview in my opinion. Other thing he said that points in to direction of him not knowing much is his claim that Geralt was witcher 2.0 (mutations were more advanced in his case). He acts in the same manner as he was in superman. Great savior just with bits of brutish bravado and some bitterness. Books painted medieval Europe with fantasy aspects, with slav accents here and there. While Lauren goes in to modern UK or US to showcase the world and society. Diverse cast is forced in every scene in every episode. For some reason diversity not include Asian people, apparently not diverse enough. Hissrich is a type of person who would cast Hercules and Achilles black people just for sake of diversity. Elfs are showcased as humans but being persecuted for being different. In books there were proud and feel superior to humans.

Dwarfs in books were brilliant full of vigor and brutish manners. Huge part of original vibrant world. In series, they are without and good values. Casting was done like: here are random little people chose 5 lets look for more people of color to fit the narrative.

Scenography is poor, scenes are closed, world is static, special effects are mediocre at best. Possibly the lacking of cash for production. Frames are very narrow. Factions and leaders is another story that was changed dramatically. Foltest is shown as weak, brutish person. Not as a serious king with proper leadership skills. Geralt is more concerned about miners and theirs plan to bring people revolution in to Temeria (workers revolution). Nilfgards army is shown as band of barbarians murdering humans, dogs, torturing everything in their way. You could compare them to horde of orcs from Tolkien. While they were empire with strong army. Cintra in other hand is shown as strongest Kingdom with again is not really the case. To summarize: Lauren S. Hissrich butchered the story. Created her own narrative. Changed characters to fit their view how the world should look. Whole production is a mess. Every jump from character to character is happening in different time. People who did not read books can easily lose them self's and people who did read a book are confused with timelines and stories being changed to the brink of recognition. Witcher was Netflix response to GOT but they are far, far away from meting the standards set by producers of HBO series. Political activism killed this series. But apparently, netflix likes to burn money.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. К слову, книга писалась в 1986 году. Сериал-это адаптация тех произведений. И естественно адаптация под Американского зрителя в первую очередь из-за большего объема рынка. И естественно адаптация нужна потому, что если дословно идти за первоисточником-умрете от скуки, несовременности и странности рассказов из первых двух книг. Да, многое не канон, не рассказывают толком о Ведьмаках и истории Континента, да много взято из головы (история Йен, Мышавура, Кагыра и слабака Вильгефорца) и сделано это ради увеличение хронометража.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. According to the showrunner, they did not adapt the series of games (although thanks to this series the Witcher gained worldwide popularity and showed interest in Sopkovsky’s books), they adapted the book. The only thing they adapted is the position of SJW (political and moral principles). I am a citizen of Russia, we have no problems with social equality and racism (in ancient times we ourselves were slaves, and even at home), so I can say what I think, because I have every right to do so. Almost everything is bad in this series, from Slavic there are only my tears (as a citizen of Russia). A completely incoherent plot and narrative, timelines often alternate, this is very confusing, because of this, the narrative collapses and the victim becomes the amount of content that could be shown to us (for example, to reveal characters). A very bad caste of actors, if there are no questions to Renfrey, Strygobor, Myshovur, Kalante, Yenifer and Tissay, then there are questions to the rest. Geralt of What's up with your face? - the actor is trying hard, it is respectful, but he does not fit the image of the canonical Witcher, he looks more like a medieval swordsman from a bad movie from the 90s. Cirri of Mediocrity - the young actress came to the set early, her game is so bad and artificial that she wants to deprive herself of her eyes surgically, she even shows a bad acting in passive scenes and they both wear cheap lenses from the sale of Anime Con with Geralt, which cause the effect of the ominous valley. Dandelion of Banality - this is the most typical image of an idiot from all road movies, it completely killed charisma and interest in the character, there was only irritation. Kagyr of Kylo Ren taught you nothing? - for the main antagonist, he has a too cute and harmless face of a teenager, he should have caused alarm, but only laughter. Fringilla of Kenya - ... African-Americans in medieval Polish fantasy, this is how to make a film about the adventures of an African tribe with the participation of white actors, such a solution is only necessary to show strength and independence, that's all! Triss of Gypsy camp - a woman simply walked along the road with a request to gilt her hand, but ended up on the set (in the first frame with her, she read gypsy curses), and she also made a straw shield against armed knights and caught fire with him (apparently this is an ancient gypsy technique). About the other actors, one can say about the same thing, by what principle they were taken into the film, only God knows ... well, Lauren Hissrich. The disgusting design of almost all the costumes, the black stretched scrotum of the Nilfgard knights, glued pieces of aluminum on the bodies of the Tsintra warriors, dresses from children's mornings by sorceresses and nobles, the peasants walk in sacks of potatoes (although this is most likely to be the case). Poor locations and surroundings, everything seems to be made of cardboard dissolving in water (so that after the shooting everything is quickly disposed of). Computer effects and models are worthy only of laughter, hello from the 2000s, I had the same face as the sylvan from the middle of the second series. The production of many scenes raises a lot of questions, such as the final scene from the 7th series, what kind of attacks of epilepsy are in Ciri and the film crew, do you even understand how wretched this looks? And the battle scenes? Oh my God! There was only hope for them when the witcher performs a ritual of preparing for a battle with monsters, cooks and drinks potions, lubricates a silver sword, turns crazy pirouettes around his enemies ... forget about it at all! The battle at the end of the first series was cool, it gave hope and immediately took it away (the battle in the palace, the battle for the dragon egg where the sorceress waves a sword and dagger instead of magic, which is absurd at the space level, the final battle near the bridge), all at the theater level staging. They said that there will be an emphasis on female characters (although the Witchers have always been at the center of the story), I do not care, so be it, but do it well, and not like in this series. Hissrich with her team wanted to jump above her head, and fell to the very bottom of the absurd. Have you ever seen black elves somewhere? I understand everything, you always want to prove something to someone, but to do it in the universe of Slavic fantasy, it looks ridiculous and causes only facepalm. The franchise's Europeanization only killed all its originality, atmosphere, love of originality, and showed that personal views and ideals are more important than art and the viewers.
P.S. I am very sorry for my terrible English.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. -Несоответствие персонажей с образами и характерами по сравнению с книжным оригиналом.
-Слишком малый хронометраж, которого не хватает для раскрытия персонажей, кроме Йенифер, ей почему-то уделено больше внимания чем Геральту, а история в первую очередь как раз о нём, а не о чародейке Йенифер.
-Слишком много отсебятины и логических дыр: Весь сезон говорили что магия не берётся из ниоткуда, Но в конце, маги со стороны Севера вдруг почему то колдуют "просто так", а магам со стороны Нильфгаарда, приходиться жертвовать собой, ради того чтобы превратиться в фаербол для требушета, которые просто отражаются в сторону без особых усилий) и видя это, Фрингилья зачем то запускает ещё один, жертвуя ещё одной чародейкой) ну вот зачем? Зато Йенифер, без какого либо поглощения энергии, используя только собственные силы, заливает всё поле огнём... Почему Вильгефорц, у которого за плечами военный опыт, отдаёт роль командующего в битве на Содденском холме - Йенифер? Которая до этого не участвовала в масштабных сражениях. О костюмах, касте, декорациях и многом другом, уже говорили люди до меня и всё же, перечислять ещё можно долго.

Мой вам совет - лучше прочитайте книги, а не насилуйте себя недо-адаптациями, которые снимают на скорочтении оригинала, лишь для того чтобы срубить бабла.… Expand

As a fan of the games and the books, I can assure I had great time playing and reading, otherwise watching the show, didn't bring any feelings at all. Not funny, not scary, not emotional, not entertainment, not mysterious. It was very few scenes I could enjoy on this first season. Also I really couldn't understand how a fan could like it.

CD Red Projekt also changed histories of the books, but the studio improved it. The TV show changed the essence of history and characters, there isn't one single history told authentically as it's on the books. They followed the main topics of the books only.

My expectations of seeing remarkable scenes of The Witcher history was totally frustrated. I wish they could improve it, but I fear they can't make it better, specially with so many applause.… Expand

Henry Cavill's Geralt is the only real reason to watch this at all but that's more for the jokes than for his "dramatic performances." I've never read the books, so I only have game 3 to go off of (which I loved btw). I'm pretty sure theHenry Cavill's Geralt is the only real reason to watch this at all but that's more for the jokes than for his "dramatic performances." I've never read the books, so I only have game 3 to go off of (which I loved btw). I'm pretty sure the witcher isn't supposed to be a comedy, but it's hard to take any of the dramatic parts seriously at all and it often falls flat based on how silly the story gets. That isn't to say the intentional humor doesn't land, it does, but the drama doesn't.

Whether the show cut too much out of the books or too little, it's clear that taking more creative license and cutting out the extraneous details the books that weren't needed would have made the story much more easier to follow. I don't have a problem with the nonlinear way the story is told on paper, but there should have been a bigger pay off to it. The way it was done here is just going to leave most people temporarily confused on why people are alive that shouldn't be. That isn't the story's biggest fault though.

The three plot lines that comprise the show are Geralt does Witcher stuff, which is the best because Henry Cavill's charisma alone keeps you interested, Ciri trying to run away from the bad army, which isn't as interesting but does it's job to keep the over arching tension up and set up the end goal, and Yennifer's backstory which is the main reason I hate this show.

I did not care one bit about Yennifer's backstory, and it really should have been cut anyway. All the audience needs to know about her motivation is that she wants a child (something that will come up later I'm sure), but her entire story before that is boring, creepy (in a rapey way, not a scary way), and obnoxious which is funny because that's basically how you could describe her character as well. When she finally does run into Geralt, she more or less becomes a side character anyway.

I guess I'll hit the "diversity question" if only because there's something that bothered me that nobody else has bothered to mention. Either people don't want to touch it at all, or well, "those" people want to complain about black people being elves. Yes this is a fantasy world, and no I don't have a problem with the cast being diverse, but far too often the driving force of the story is ethnically ambiguous girl needs Geralt to solve her problem. For me, the problem isn't race or ethnicity, so much as it's the weird fact that every important woman in the show looks way too much like all the other important women in the show. They wear different costumes but the colors and details are so muted that it doesn't really distinguish them anyway. The weirder part is their hair. Fan boys have probably ranted about the fact that Triss doesn't have red hair, but what set me back is when I realized nearly every important woman in the show has the same hair color, length, and almost the same style. Only the queen in this case is different because she wears her hair in a bun. On top of that, they don't exactly act that differently from each other. Right off the back each one is introduced to Geralt as sassy girl who wants something. If you know the games, you'll notice the minor differences between them (clothes and what they're good at) but they don't really act differently from each other (again, queen lady is sort of the exception that proves the rule). None of the men have this problem. No matter how minor the character, every single man seems to be as distinguishable as he should be. While the black women that follow the dragon hunter around might as well be recast as the women who lived in the woods, the dragon hunter himself looks and acts completely different from Mousesack despite them both being old bearded white men.

I could go on about terrible CGI, spoilers about dumb plot points, and why I think Yennifer is obnoxious, but I feel like a lot of that is more subjective than a wholesale failure in costume design, plot structure and tone. I got to say, the critics finally called one right this time.… Expand

The creators simply rewrite the canon, kill Excel "because the unknown character will not cause sympathy" BUT YOU DIDN'T KNOW US ESCEL! YOU KILLED SOMETHING MUDILA WITH THE NAME OF ESKEL!
The monsters are new. The Witcher is a pumped-up killing machine. The rest of the witchers are whipping boys. Heroes are stupid NPCs. One Ciri is a whining Mary Sue worse than Ray. Thank you, you completely ruined all the good that remained.
Why give Ciri development, making her a STRONG character through growth? We will immediately make an imba out of it. We'll take away magic from Yennefer, but she will fight like a **** special forces soldier. Yes, **** the logic.… Expand

The monsters are neat and interesting but the quality of the dialogue especially just doesn't come close to something like Game of Thrones' seasons 1-5, even 6 and 7 had better writing. The dialogue is either stilted or too contemporary and the result is that you cannot immerse yourself in the show like you could with GoT. In GoT the dialogue was so excellently written and delivered that you almost forgot you were watching actors play characters, the scenes took on a life of their own and became more than the sum of their parts, here you're keenly aware that it's just actors, ESPECIALLY because Henry Cavill insists on doing that voice. It takes you completely out of it when you know for a fact that it's not what he sounds like, it doesn't immerse me because it's silly.… Expand

Not faithful to the books at all. Geralt is a side character in his own show. They focus on Yennifer (who was character assassinated in Season 2) Ciri,and a bunch of boring forgettable side characters with CW level acting.

I would compare the ending to an old teenage drama show like 7th Heaven or Dawson's Creek. I disliked the changes done to the story, and the killing off of characters that did not need to go. Season 2 was enough to discourage me from watching season 3, even more so after hearing how bad Blood Origins turned out to be.

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

Terrible dialogues, a world that feels anything but medieval and a very confusing storyline that made no sense most of the time with events that don't seem to matter at all.

Also, while I absolutely don't mind seeing naked people in a tv show, they should fit in with the storyline. The first 2 episodes were all about displaying naked women for absolutely no reason. I guess this is a cheap attempt at seeming like Game of Thrones, but to me it feels like a cheap copy. The Witcher has none of the grace that GoT had (in the beginning).

In GoT I also really cared for the characters, nothing could be further from the truth here. Every character feels shallow - unlike with Ned Stark, I really wouldn't care if any of them died in the next episode. To be honest, i don't really expect anything from the next episode - everything that has happened just felt so random and pointless. We know the main characters are important because they get a lot of screentime, not because they actually do anything. If you removed the witcher from The Witcher, everything would probably turned out exactly the same.… Expand

Lauren, for the love of Roach, go away. You're genuinely awful at this. This is not a "faithful adaptation", this is some terrible reimagining that has deviated so far from the source material, that is a slap in the face to the fanbase that even makes this show possible.

Two points for Henry Cavill for actually trying to be faithful to a character that he obviously researched and cares for, and the inclusion of more monster encounters, especially with "A grain of truth".

Everything else about this season is terrible, the casting choices are abysmal and it really shows in this season. I gave most of them a pass in Season 1 because they were new diversity hires that don't have much experience, but outside of Geralt, and maybe Dijkstra, these characters all act incredibly different from their counterparts in the books and/or games. This tells me one of two things, either they have no interest in researching the roles they are playing, or Lauren is changing their roles entirely to fit her alternate storyline, either way it culminates in 1 passable episode, and 7 awful ones.

+ Henry Cavill
+ Monster Encounters

- Terrible writing
- Terrible casting
- Story is becoming a jumbled mess
- Characters are unrecognizable
- Wooden and stale acting
- CGI is average
- Questionable "character removal" choices (no spoilers)
- Inventing new things that make no sense (Leshen disease? Idk)

Overall, if you are a fan of the books and/or games, you will be disappointed, this "producer" and a majority of the cast have no business being anywhere near this IP, and if it was named anything besides "The Witcher", the show would be another generic fantasy show that bows out after one season. This fanbase was earned by Sapkowski & CDPR, not these awful "showrunners".… Expand

Low expectations met in this Netflix-version of original slavic fantasy

A clear lack of understanding and passion for the source material shine through, in generic and forgettable take on the Witcher.

The gritty, realistic and cold universe of the books and games, is replaced by a bland and forgettable americanized version.

A version that any fan would be hard pressed to recognize if it wasn't for the inclusion of the games version of Geralt, played by Henry Cavill.

Cavill's performance is great and feels like a window to a version of what this show could have been in the hands of someone with a relationship with the source material.

The efforts of his cast-mates ranges from uninspired to the immersion-breaking.

The shows first season have more than twice the budget of History Channel's first season of Vikings - but looks cheaper. An over-reliance on CGI amplify the cheap feel.

Adding to the near impossible taks of immersion is the Netflix'ification of the cast. Everyone from main characters to extras have been given a racial overhaul.

The original Witcher univers is realistic depiction of european life in the middle ages. The dread and danger of life in the middle ages enhanced by fantasy elements.

Every monster, creature and political action is an integral part of the universe and a deep detailed lore sells the univers. Which makes this a very awkward IP to race-swap in.

Unfortunately thats the approach Netflix have chosen, and it is done without any explanation or additional lore in-universe. Further removing this version from the attention to detail, meticulous universe-building and storytelling of the source material.… Expand

As an avid fan of the books and games I couldn't get immersed because Triss especially, but also Yen, as well as Calanthe, Vilgefortz... were so badly cast its obvious Lauren Hissrich was no big fan of the Witcher and whoever makes hiring decisions at Netflix again has no clue whatsoever about what made Witcher intriguing and fascinating for true fans. The entire premise of the Witcher is dark, gritty and anti-SJW so to force SJW themes and casting into the show is so glaring and damaging to the soul of this franchise, its antithetical to everything the Witcher has ever stood for, like slapping us heavily in the face and shoving 1-sided Leftist politics down our throats as if we're watching CNN and not the Witcher.
