This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Netflix simply paid Sapkowski to stay out of the process. They distort the very intent of the original source material in the form of books and don't give a damn about the canonicity of the story. So sorry about Eskel! He doesn't deserve such a fate. Neither should Ciri be tested with herbs, and witchers take whores to their castle. So sorry about Eskel! He doesn't deserve such a fate.

This show is destined for failure because of its producer. 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 sourceThis show is destined for failure because of its producer. 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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Never wrote a review here. But the hike today is my day. Hisrich ruined everything! This witcher will not appeal to either fans of the book, or fans of the game, or fans of either one or the other, or people who are just not familiar with the universe.
The costumes of the characters are worse than in the porn parody.
Casting is worse than porn parody.
The plot is worse than a porn parody.
You had a gorgeous book plot and great visuals of characters in games. Combine both for a masterpiece that Game of Thrones could not reach. What happened?
Black elves first, rubber armor at Nilfgaard, full of miscast actors. Okay, it doesn't matter, it's important to look interesting, right? But this is not the case here either. 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

Has Yennefer been kidnapped by zombies? 3.Why didn't they immediately read Kagyr's thoughts in the mansion of magicians? 4.Why is the prisoner of war General Kagyr not in prison with one of the kingdoms, but in captivity with wizards? 5.Why can Fringilla cast deadly spells, but can't create a chicken? 6.In the future, Fringilla will tell which of them are schemers and manipulators at the academy. Didn't they teach you how to make chicken there? 7.Why did the elves capture Yennefer and Fringilla if she was going to kill them? 8.An experienced witcher Eskel does not know how to fight in the goblin? 9. Did the Witchers have any questions, what is wrong with Eskelm? 10.Is it normal to take prostitutes to the secret fortress? 11.Why did the elves give the captured Yennefer a weapon in the form of a torch? 12.Is Ciri comfortable fencing in a dress? 13. Why was Lambert angry at Geralt for killing Eskel while saving Vesemir? He hugs Ciri and makes friends, although a second ago she killed half of the witchers. 14.Why does Tissaya care so much about Yennefer? 15.Why put Jennifer's name on the list of the dead if she will be removed from there in a second? 16.The murdered witchers of the cat school are fed to cats? 17.From what time did the thin and thin Yennefer have to take down the Cahir of heads? Probably from the first, like chains and wooden buildings. 18.WHY does Yennefer save Cahir? 19.A Californian screenwriter cannot imagine in his California that during the war, in the Middle Ages, poor and disadvantaged commoners could go to the toilet under themselves, and not around the corner? 20.Yet when they jump into the first sewer they come across quest characters like Yennefer? 21.Why did the experienced General Kagyr, who coped in one snout with the strongest character of the saga – Vilgeforts, could not defeat some ordinary soldier? 22.How did they make a mutagen to create witchers, if you need older blood to create it, which has not been on the continent for many generations? 23.Why is Yennefer making any attempts to save some elven child, if she doesn't care about her own, Ciri? 24.Why did firefly try to find out from Buttercup where Geralt was, if he then went to Kaer Morhen himself, without learning anything from Buttercup? 25.Why inject a mutagen into Ciri to create witchers without first collecting blood from her for several generations ahead in order to create these very witchers? 26.Does Vesemir have alzheimer's? What is the ever-changing attitude towards Ciri? 27.Why did Fringilla turn from a crazy fanatic who cut and burned her fellow magicians into a caregiver for elves? 28.Is Philavandrel normal in life? Does he have any problems threatening openly and trying to kill General Cahir on the territory of Nilfgaardom? 29.Fringilla patted the born child on the ass and he did not die because of this? 30. Why was the cameraman who filmed Geralt's battle in the 1st episode of season 1 fired and hired? 31.Yennefer from this series, betraying her daughter Ciri for the sake of returning strength, thinks that at least someone from the audience will empathize with her longer? 32.How does firefly know about the family that sheltered Ciri? 33.How did Geralt find out that Buttercup was arrested and where is he being held? 34.In this world, is it possible to violate political agreements just because you wanted to? 35.It is not necessary to spend Ciri magic to open another portal, but is it possible to raise the bridge? 36.Ciri's eyes are bleeding. Yennefer has worries about this? 37.Why did Vilgefortsem a cold and calm person, become some kind of hysterical? 38.Why did Fringilla kill her generals? 39.Why does Geralt need a horse, if they then idly trudge along, at the walking speed of a Buttercup without a horse? 40.Why did the demon order Yennefer to drag Ciri to Cintra? For a demon to possess her? Yennefer can take Ciri directly to the demon with a spell, as she did with Geralt. 41.How many soldiers did Yennefer plan to kill with a stick? 42.Why did the elves think that it was Dijkstra and Rodovid who killed the child? Clearly the reason is this, and not that the elves violated the agreements with Nilfgaard. 43.Why did the elves not go to cut Dijkstra and Rodovid, but went to the innocent children? 44.Witchers know how to imprison a demon. Yennefer knows how to lure out a demon . What do they do at the end? 45.Why is Geralt standing in front of Ciri, captured by a demon, like an idol and rubbing a speech about love and gum? 46.Why is there a Buttercup in history? To bring a stone that Geralt won't even use? 47.What is Yennefer's sacrifice at the end? It's too late to make a saint of yourself after betrayal. 48.How did Istredd find and what did he forget in the camp of the elves? 49.All viewers know that Emgyr is Ciri's father. The creators wanted to create "this is a turn"? 50.Why is the series so terrible?… Expand

The Witcher tries to fit a world into a television series and succeeds with flying colors.
The thing that makes it not a perfect 10, is some weird castings, and weird story choices.

Update:
After watching season 2, the same positives and the same negatives persist. I could not care less about Yennefer's struggles. Give me more Geralt and Ciri; that is what made the book series famous in the first place.
The good: - GoodUpdate:
After watching season 2, the same positives and the same negatives persist. I could not care less about Yennefer's struggles. Give me more Geralt and Ciri; that is what made the book series famous in the first place.

The good:
- Good production values (photography, music, etc.)
- Mostly good performances

The bad:
- Too much Yennefer, too little Geralt. The show allocates way too much time to Yennefer, her traumas and struggles, to the detriment of Geralt and Ciri. This is not Yennefer's story, it's Geralt and Ciri's.

- Too many creative liberties taken in the name of diversity and inclusiveness. The next time somebody shoots, say, a remake of Shaft, are they going to shoehorn white characters in the name of diversity?

- The jumping back and forth in time makes it extremely confusing for anybody with no prior knowledge of the books.

Conclusion:
Having read the books back in the day and played the third game, I was looking forward to this show. However, I had to force myself through the season and now find myself completely indifferent to a possible season two. This series needs a different showrunner.… Expand

Unfortunately not, but pleasantly surprised and not bad at all. Surprisingly, it's great. Putting Henry Cavill in the role of The Witcher was a good choice in my opinion, but what was not a very good choice is no offense to actress Triss, who is a black woman. I'm not a racist or anything, but I'm just supposed to be a white Triss character and I stand for it. On the other hand, Yennefer was most pleased. Her storyline was the best and, conversely, Ciri had the worst storyline, which sometimes had boring parts. . But overall, this is a great series that I can recommend.

Let's transfer what happens in this Witcher series (Season 2) to a comparable franchise:

The Lord of the Rings is a very successful book that has been lovingly adapted into another medium, a film, close to the book and with great attentionLet's transfer what happens in this Witcher series (Season 2) to a comparable franchise:

The Lord of the Rings is a very successful book that has been lovingly adapted into another medium, a film, close to the book and with great attention to detail, which was also very successful.

Now let's imagine someone would want to build on these successes and create a Lord of the Rings series.

In this series, Frodo and Aragorn are portrayed very well, but that's where it ends.

Gandalf is no longer a magician because he simply lost his ability during the fight against the Balrog. The Rohirrim are now partly Africans who ride elephants (the Haradrim apparently still exist somewhere in the world). Sympathetic male secondary characters as Gimli are rewritten as unsympathetic, while the young beautiful Arwen is now more of the middle-aged maternal type and the main villain is not Sauron, but the wicked witch from Hansel and Gretel who was simply squeezed into the story.

And now imagine that there are quite a few people who cheer this work ... hopefully because they have never heard of Lord of the Rings before....

Positive: -Geralt and Ciri -High quality produced -Relatively good CGI of the monsters

Negative: -Stupid, unnecessary story changes -thus unnecessarily confusing storytelling/missing explanations -Various supporting characters changed beyond recognition -Flat dialogues (Especially if you know the actual dialogues of the books) -Change of the depicted culture /origin of the countries and characters -Cheap larp costumes -Soundtrack ... when you order the Witcher Games Soundtrack on Wish.

Geralt, Ciri, Vesemir and Dandelion show that the Showmakers have read the character descriptions of the books. Some of the short stories were solidly implemented in the first season and the first episode of the second season and the armor of the Cintra throne guard didn't look like cheap plastic, but like the Renaissance armors shown in the games.

If they wanted, the Witcher material could have been put into a series very well, that is clearly shown. All the sadder that the material is unnecessarily changed for the worse.… Expand

Absolute and inappropriate tolerance. A series for those who want to look at black elves, Asian elves, Turkish druids and ugly women, as well as many krinj plot points.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. После первого сезона и его косяков, я сомневался получится ли второй. И второй сезон поистине меня удивил. Настолько смешной и сумбурный фанфик я давно не встречал. Есть ощущение, что моя десятилетняя сестра и то лучше смогла бы адаптировать книги под ТВ формат. Как только ты начинаешь видеть хоть что-то в этом "произведении искусства", тут же появляется какое-то очумелое создание(Йен без магии, Весимир, пытающийся сделать из Цири ведьмака, смерть Эскеля и так далее). Создатели явно решили пойти по какому-то своему особому пути. Если хотите настоящего ведьмака, то лучше книжки почитать или ознакомиться с серией игр, но никак не с этим порождением отбитого наглухо графомана.… Expand

This is the key for me. If you are going to adapt award-winning source material that's beloved by many fans, whatever changes you make better have either A) a great reason behind it or B) improve the story.

So far I've watched The ExpanseThis is the key for me. If you are going to adapt award-winning source material that's beloved by many fans, whatever changes you make better have either A) a great reason behind it or B) improve the story.

So far I've watched The Expanse incredibly faithfully adapt the novels to TV as best as they can and why is that show so beloved? The quality of the story is extremely high. For the non-book readers that in of itself is great. But for the book readers, they know the quality is so damn high because the quality of the novels is so damn high and so the showrunner and writers room (including the book's authors) faithfully adapted it to preserve that high-quality storytelling. I have also watched Game of Thrones in earlier seasons where they were largely faithful adaptations of award-winning novels and how beloved were they? Intensely. Even Dune recently was made highly faithfully and the book readers have loved it.

I haven't finished this season yet (almost there) but I'm scared seeing how many are saying the last two episodes are the worst of all. But so far, as someone who has read the books twice, loved them but isn't above adaptations taking a different spin (if it improves the story) I am really disappointed. Not by the visuals, the acting, or anything like that. It is entirely due to the showrunner and writer's decision to make changes needlessly that make the story WORSE, not better. Why do they feel the need to add their twists and their own touch? Likely fear or ego. They don't feel creatively excited about translating a story from one medium to another they want to make it "their own." The hubris of that when the source material is award-winning and they're just TV writers is incredible.

It sucks because I could overlook some shakey acting here and there or a bad costume or average CGI, but when the story is what I have a problem with and it's a story that requires certain things in order to result in other things down the line, it makes watching the show so tough. I end up just feeling bad for Henry who considering what he's said in multiple interviews, just wishes the show was a faithful adaptation from the novels to the screen like The Expanse has been.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fun and entertaining in parts but absolutely nothing like the books/games which has made the whole franchise so successful. Saddened that such potential has been Absolutely wasted by the writer believing their storyline are better than the books which millions of us have read.

Genuinely would love to know their thinking, in cavil (who practically carries the entire show) they have cast one character well and really that's about it.

Rest of casting is poor, magic is wasted and excitement is minimal. Why change entire characters personalities, story lines, make up new characters and believe it'll be successful. As a big fan I'm left truly baffled and would be surprised if a third season happens.

Eskell and Yennifer have been ruined.

The bloody games have better writing then this **** The writing is painfully bad, i just found myself wincing all the time. It's apparently based on the books but follows **** all from the books. Yennefer behaves absolutely nothing like Yen, she is practically the the polar opposite of how she is described. So so disappointed as a huge fan of the books & games. One thing that stood out was, i know today it's all about diversity but the problem here is The Witcher stories are basically about intolerance & Racism of outsiders or anything different. Geralt is a monster hunter who in his travels often finds that the monsters he's hunting are far less evil then the people employing him or those in the surrounding world. As soon as you make the cast all diverse you lose that message. As soon as you disown the stories slavic roots it loses some of its power. But there are just so many problems that this doesn't even matter. You could probably still of made it work with the diversity included if the writing was better but its not. It's terrible. They are all trying to make the next GoT but GoT was a faithful adaption up until they passed the author by & that's exactly when it got bad. All these shows are just not bothering with the faithful adaption & just skipping straight to the ****ty production meddling that ****s the message & characters of the stories all up.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Attention: This review contains honest opinion, truth and is made by a demanding person. If you're not used to something more than slow brain degradation, please do not read or you will be offended. Please also note that there is no intention to offend anyone.

I gave 0 because I cannot rate -10 here. The only real plus of this series is Henry that is carrying this, however that's all. I could say that fight scenes are also nice, but when I did honest score rating, each minus dragged me again to 0.

First of all, I cannot even express my disappointment that people around the globe allow such humanity degradation to have place. Just few years ago, people were fighting for too brutal games movies and so on, to be banned/censored(in all cases they were wrong) But Netflix applies applies "diversity and political correctness" tags on something far worse, and people are good with it? Hypocrisy.

About the show: If you watch the series you will stumble upon art degradation, because both books and movies, are art. Art is a part of the cultural heritage of civilization, an expression of soul, something that is here to show us the beauty, capture some thoughts and inspire us to be better(in big shortcut). This TV show, kills art and we allow it on our eyes. It not only spits on the books, but also creates a false mage of what is the world of Witcher.

I have nothing against any culture, but I grew up watching movies where, whenever I've seen black or asian etc. I was like - Wow, I wonder who he is, what is he doing here? - And those characters were very well written. In Witcher, there is no evidence that any black people really exist. If they do, they might be either from far Ofir, or perhaps from Zerrikania. In both cases, why anyone would like to leave their country? In a setting where heritage, culture and bonds contribute to patriotism(which is slowly degrading nowadays) why anyone would like to leave their land? Even Nilfgardians say they don't like to fight for unknown to them lands. Being black, you risk a lot leaving your country to travel to places full of racism. Ofir? Merchants, intellectuals, they wouldn't go without strong reason and support. Zerrikans? perhaps sellswords... Instead of seeing a good written character, good placed actor and good costumes, we see tons of black people like they would live there normally, doing token roles that no one likes. I would be offended if I would be black, seriously.

Netflix is known from using black people as walking money bags, they literally are downgrading them and still no one did sue the company for it? Ridiculous.

It's not that we got only black people abused and put into any role they absolutely don't fit, we got also rest of the actors. Costumes don't fit, character descriptions don't fit, roles are poorly written. A series made for kids who think swearing is cool
No tact, no finesse
Geralt seems to be doing everything as a punishment And all character bonds, stories and so on, remind me of 80s/90s action movie directors, trying to do a plot where characters are like *they offend themselves, then shake hands, offend more and smile* - Like this would give us any depth, insight in their past?

Another thing is that this show is like Twilight would meet Game of Thrones after getting totally wasted beforehand. Witchers look like cool bandit-like kids, played by totally not fitting actors, dressed probably in some gallery store cause I cannot understand this fashion, dropping "cool" dialogues and bringing nothing to the table. I can't even understand why people allow so much money, mind and other resource wasting

According to books, Yen and Ciri are strong characters. Ciri of course has a long way but we see all that development done properly and good written. In the TV show, Yen is like Twilight bella that is soooo special... Remember series 1 dragon hunting?

According to books Yen could be raped there during fight she lost. Yes, a woman lost a fight and she was nearly raped there...does that mean the character is weak? No. She is a strong character and shietflix could just do the same, instead they made cringe scene showing how cool and strong she is...Sorry but in my opinion if you try to prove something, forcing it...that literally means that it's the opposite. So it seems netflix is more of showing that black people don't fit TV and women are weak. This is my impression watching this

Lotr as a Standard:
Have you ever wondered, why we love LOTR and many great stories aren't made that way? Because it's easier to do a piece of garbage and input tons of money into ads, and pretending how cool it is, telling you that you like it, that it's a hit, you need it, buy it. Instead of trying to reach higher. Start demanding people, let's have LOTR a like games and movies. Not stupid resource wasting, mind numbing projects that try to milk us from money.… Expand

In every episode. And who wrote those clumsy dialogues? « It’s not a castle », says Eskel to Ciri in Kaer Morten, and then they show us it’s literally a huge castle… Have the show runners seen any good shows or movies in their lives?

We can find here even something like jurrasic park nonsense(E8) or some mindless witchers (E2) with whores in the middle of Kaer Morhen, twisted characer of Eskel - WTF???. American producers/writers who know nothing about "world of witcher" or Slavic mythology destroyed concepts of the books. Its like Sauruman is no longer magical, but chinese vampire, Sauron is kung fu fighter, Frodo is now young girl lost in her feelings - that is what Netflix did to novel. But still some season 2 positives: Gerald (Cavill), Jaskier, Ciri and that is all.

An ideal series for 15-25 year olds. Actors have no conviction, the cgi are bad, and the woke cast swap take you out of the universe of the witcher (based on eastern european territories in middle ages). Black people are always nice and whiteAn ideal series for 15-25 year olds.

Black people are always nice and white people are depraved, stupid or bad. Pure Netflixed adaptation.… Expand

I don't know where to even begin. Watching this was like having Snoop Dog act out Hamlet. The level of vulgarity and lack of finesse all around is disgusting.

The acting is mediocre. The writing is pathetic. I found myself taken out of the story so often I had to pause and debate if I should continue watching. It was very hard to continue.

I'm really sick and tired of marxists ruining legendary stories. This is a Polish story, not a feminist or a critical-race-theory class torn from the books of bolshevism. Have they read the books? Please tell me where there are African or Arab or Indian people in the story? I have read all the books and even played the games. Respect the original story or leave it alone altogether!!

If I'm watching a Nigerian or a Chinese origin story, I want to see Nigerian or Chinese people in it!! Stop changing the fabric of the story!! And hire people that actually fit the character. For example, Triss and Yeniffer and Fragila, were white! Why did we get an Arab, an Indian, and an African woman playing them?? You people are truly mentally ill and destroy anything you touch. This show is NOT the Witcher! It is plagiarized marxist garbage of a show!!… 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. Да, встречается мист каст. Но это шоу, если относится к нему как к шоу и закрыть глаза на то, на что действительно необходимо их закрыть, получилось оно зрелищным и красивым.… Expand

Cavill gets a lot of flack but I think he puts in a good turn as Geralt. He's surrounded by a great cast, with generally good writing.

He's surrounded by a great cast, with generally good writing. The series as whole has a lot of high points, memorable scenes, and some great moments, most of which occur between Geralt and Jaskier. It draws a lot from the books, though takes some liberties, which is to be expected.
Overall it's got a lot more positives than negatives.… Expand

I never played the video game, but this is a great story. The way the timeline was worked into the first season was fabulous. Cant wait for season 2.

Even without looming giant of the games and books, the show in itself is ATROCIOUS! Horrible writing, bad acting, cheap CGI and costume design, music... composer tried to capture(copy) that feel from the games and failed miserably. Wokenisation is worse than in any other fantasy adaptation. Do not waste your time, better spend your money on games and books about true Witcher.… Expand
