Moreover, like 3 or 4 different timelines at the same time on screen, not separated. I can only imagine how those who didn't read a books differ them.

All great events which look big and epic in books, look poor in series. What they did with Borch (Villentretenmerth), a "Smaug" of Witcher books, then the miserable lizard in Netflix, which can't do anything. The same mistake in Pavetta's wedding, and, OMG "Battle of Sodden Hill" just disgusting.

It was given to wrong hands. As a fan, I can't forgive the people who did this piece of trash.… Expand

The show itself does not accurately represent the Witcher universe and favors social SJW politics over credibility and franchise roots. It's very much backwards racism as it shoves people of color into roles they shouldn't be in. Just to lure in a larger audience.

I will stay far away from this poor attempt while I hold CD Projekt's interpretation of the franchise dear to heart.

The action is thrilling, the costumes are fabulous, the dialogue is high fantasy at it's best. So why isn't it *great*? Because it juggles a lot and asks a lot of the audience, and for the first half of the 8 episode season, is super confusing. Multiple timelines slowly becoming one, without telling the audience that's what is happening is a bold move, and it works eventually. It's worth the ride, and I'm ungodly excited for season 2. Also, it does a great job NOT being super sexist, thank the lord. All the sex and nudity is actually for a reason and not exploitative, it's set the bar high for future fantasy. ITS GOOD.… Expand

Henry Cavill is an excellent Geralt. It's clear he cares about the material and making the character his own.

I'll look forward to season 2 as I feel this has a lot of potential to be a great show. And that damn "Toss a coin to your witcher" song has been stuck in my head for weeks.… Expand

The strenght of the book of Sapkowski was to show this universe through the eyes of Geralt, each character was at the mercy of the events that served as an expedient to tell about of our own society. Unfortunately from the first episode of this tv series it is clear that the direction taken is that, as in many other American TV series (see star trek: discovery and the last season of Game of thrones), to put individual characters at the center of all events. Placing once again the personal events of the characters above the universe itself created by Sapkowski. The world of The Witcher does not exist in relation of Geralt but it is Geralt, and the other charachters, that exists in relation of his world.
In the other hand I've found pleasant the decision to merge the first two books for the first season with a non-chronological timeline.… 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.

I stopped at the end of the 4th episode.… Expand

Escolheram um rumo que, por conta de um universo rico, poderia se passaria por confusa ou mal entendida. Felizmente isso não acontece o tempo todo, e se você prestar atenção, da pra entender como as coisas chegam onde elas estão. Porém, acho que tudo ficou muito... corrido. Como ponto positivo, ficamos presos a serie, querendo saber o que acontecerá e tudo mais, como ponto negativo, isso limita muito a evolução de personagens, como a Yennefer, que em pouco mais de 1 episodio, muda radicalmente sua personalidade. Acredito sim que isso tenha embasamento nos livros, mas a serie apenas diz que o tempo passou, mal passa uma duzia de acontecimentos mascantes e já nos apresenta a personagem completamente mudada. Eu acredito que eles poderiam focar mais em caçadas, diálogos, contextualização do universo, e dai partirem para o foco principal que até então era "secundário". Até porque, quem não jogou os jogos ou leu os livros, se sentirá perdido aqui. O que não agrada o publico geral, e nem o especifico pois eu sei que há mudanças aqui que não foram bem aceitas entre os fans.

O primeiro episodio foi um desastre, mas conseguem tomar rumo após o segundo. Devo admitir que eu tinha um pouco de preconceito inconsciente com o Henry Cavill, pois não achava que ele daria conta de um personagem como esse, visto os filmes no qual ele é mais "marketado", porém, tive uma surpresa grande aqui. O ator demonstra conhecimento sobre o personagem, mesmo nos mínimos detalhes, e apresenta um trabalho de voz incrível. Quanto as outras interpretações, nada chama muita atenção.… Expand

Et bien force est de constater que oui, l'adaptation télévisuelle est réussie. Imparfaite, certes ! Contenant quelques libertés par rapport aux livres, également, mais rien d'outrageant, et puis l'adaptation sur un nouveau support permet ce genre de fantaisies.

Il n'en reste pas moins quelques moments... "meh ?". De petites facilités scénaristiques et autres contorsions temporelles probablement pas aidées par la magie du montage. En dehors de ça, rien qui ne donne pas envie aux amateurs de fantasy de repartir pour une nouvelle saison.… Expand

What some people don't realize is that a video game has to be made to be entertaining for TV audience not just those who played the game. There is some ham here in there though. Unfortunately we live in a society today that people are easily offended because there is diversity in a show as if they are not racist for saying so. It is a fantasy world so no there is no rules to follow, and again it is made for a modern audience not just those that have no concept of art and are only gaming.… Expand

Literally every character aside of Geralt is grossly miscasted. Timelines are all messed up, I knew what was going on only because I've read the books. CGI is mediocre at best. Also creators doesn't seem to take the fantasy elements seriously, I mean Dryads and elves can be black, I don't care but what I do care about is consistency, the Dryads are black and white?! This is not a group of humans with pointy ears, this is a whole other race, they either should look all the same, or you should at least try to explain why they are so different from one another, it doesn't make any sense. All of this, combined with inexplicable behavior of some characters and cheesy dialogues with feminist propaganda shoved in here and there made me feel like I'm watching some social justice fan-fiction, rather than competent adaptation. The redeeming factors are how Henry Cavill portrays Geralt (although i miss the cat eyes) and some smaller-scale fighting scenes. Overall below average - watch out of curiosity, if you must, but if you're a Witcher fan maybe don't do this to yourself.… Expand

Давно было известно, что выйдет абсолютный каl, как вообще можно всерьез воспринимать эту сжвшную помойку нетфликс после первого искушения христа?
Просто в шоке, да даже ведьмак 2001 года с бюджетом в 3000 рублей выглядит на уровень выше "этого чуда от нетфликс", да что уж там, первые 10 минут взрослого кино по ведьмаку выглядят синемой по сравнению с тем, что сняли нетфликс с бюджетом и возможностями, которые у них были. Я сгорел, когда увидел оценку 8 на мете, каво? Серьезно? 8? Почему не все 12? Но это объяснимо и если немножко подумать нисколько не удивительно, большая часть аудитории нетфликс приходится на запад, если не вся, и поэтому лицимерная Хиссрич, которая сначала: "все по книгам, по канону"-, а потом биполярочка, удалила твит, и теперь посылает всех кому не зашел сериал на одно место, которым Геральт пользуется чаще, чем своими мечами, купила Сапковского, который теперь дефает ее, (я вот одно не понимаю, почему пану настолько po×ui на свое наследие) и вместо славянского фентези мы получили западное - с азиатами, французами негритянского происхождения, гендерфлюидными вертосексуалами низушками/краснолюдами и не важно, что события происходят в северных землях вымышленного средневековья, вообщем все как положено, с расчетом на современную, иДуЩей в нОгУ со времнем западную аудиторию, которая оценит это и схавает, а потом еще ньфаги подтянуться, либо каинд оф челы, которые только по игровой серии знают вселенную, они будут с пеной у рта заявлять 10/10, мастерпис, маствоч, опиум для народа, не зная оригинала. Вот на таких и рассчитан был этот "контент" и его успешно схавали. Без негатива. Ну да ладно, хватит иронии. Если даже абстрагироваться от вселенной ведьмака, забыть все, прочитанные книги, васянмейд сериалы, кстати даже они лукс прети гуд на фоне **** абсолютно все забыть, и начать знакомство с ведьмаком с сериала от нетфликс, то в теории, в теории, можно поставить оценку чуть выше, чем зелёному слонику, лайтхаус ему пухом.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Henry had a beautiful character play, I wish his time on a show was more.
Yenifer stole more than half of the show time for yourself (does this serial called Witcher?)
Yenifer was the most useless and selfish character in the fight in the last episode. This is your diversity show Triss and Yenifer as similar visual characters? Maybe at least make different hair color?
What the point of so much silence faces in dialogs? To show that character a little stupid and need so much time to think?
Why all black characters have main secondary roles or powerful roles? I don't have anything against black people in power, but why only powerful roles? Isn't this a little bit of racism? Dialogues have some problems, telling obvious things to fulfil time not cool.
It easy to see that this is a modern people in old clothes, not like people feel and play like characters of those old times.
Ciri beautiful character pick, but sometimes a little bit stupid. I understand that she afraid of everything and very young. But not in the 10nd ep, she saw more **** that everyone reading this already, it need to be some grow of character during 10 episodes.
Too many feminists monologues. Stop forcing this pls, we are live on equal society, don't make it matriarch.
Can't not mention Joey's good screenplay and witcher song :)

Prologue: Lauren Schmidt couldn't handle Witcher.
Not only the way the story is presented to the viewer is awful and way too confusing but also decisions she made in regard to how characters should look are arbitrary and irrational. Act 1:Prologue: Lauren Schmidt couldn't handle Witcher.
Not only the way the story is presented to the viewer is awful and way too confusing but also decisions she made in regard to how characters should look are arbitrary and irrational. Act 1: Utter failure.
Triss Merigold has golden chestnut chairs and big blue eyes and is one of the most striking and vivid characters in the Witcher lore. Everyone understands it just not damn Netflix which completely fails to choose decent lookalike for this role.
On another hand, Yennefer face has a triangle shape and pale skin while Netflix went "screw it" and choose actress with a square jaw and brown skin tone.

Act 2: Seriously! What are you doing?!
Most armies in the show have proper armours but for some reason, Nilfgaardians look like clowns wrapped in black paper frills. How can this show get so many minor things right but completely fail at so many major and obvious things?

Act 3: Hope
Show gets saved by Henry Cavill, Freya Allan and Emma Appleton.
While some scenes are ruined by uneven or just plain bad CGI and utterly mismatched actors Cavill, Frey and Emma still deliver great performance.

Epilogue: 3 characters saved the day.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. У меня 4772 символа, но рецензию сайт не хочет публиковать рецензию, по причине того, что я якобы превысил лимит в 5 тысяч (хотя сам же мне показывают цифру в 4772). Всячески пытался разложить аргументировано недостатки экранизации, сравнивая ее с книгой (при том понимая, что кино-формат не книга и изменений не избежать). Но, судя по всему, не суждено... ставлю ноль балов. Почему, никогда не узнаете.

Сравним: в сериале, на Геральта находит какое то видение, в котором ни к месту действующей сюжетной линии, какая то муть про предназначение... 1) исходя из видения, ведьмак отправляется на защиту мудаковатого Стрегобора (который уж точно не положительный персонаж, что бы за него заступиться), вместо желания предотвратить резню невинных жителей; 2) Не заранее, а лишь по прибытию понимает, что есть одна заложница (Марилька); 3) В качестве ультиматума, Ренфри использовали лишь одного заложника (Марильку), вместо угрозы вырезать целую площадь; 4) Далее, Ренфри что то мимолетно крякает про то, что будет резать всех подряд до тех пор, пока Стрегобор не выйдет на площадь. И это уже в момент, когда от банды Ренфри осталась одна Ренфри, а они сами сошлись в драке. Почувствуйте разницу – это все сильно девальвирует историю! История и диалоги упразднены до невозможного, в силу чего не успеваешь проникнуться персонажами и вставшей моральной дилеммой по каждую сторону их личности, про сложность предстоящего выбора... Цитата про: "большее, меньшее, среднее зло..." - здесь скорее в качестве мимолетной отсылки, нежели философии по теме. В ходе диалогов тема слабо развивается, от чего не работает в синергии с повествованием. Слишком сумбурно получилось. Этой истории (про мясника из Блавикена) реально нужна целая серия, что бы раскрыться. И никак не половина. И так почти во всех сюжетных линиях. Я бы расписал подробнее по первой серии, да количество символов очень ограничено для обзора. Вообще многое что хотелось указать, но ограничение по символам не позволяет. Например, не хватает символов, что бы расписать, что я к изменениям при адаптации отношусь с пониманием (а порой даже одобряю). Например: Игры Престолов; первые 3 части Обителя Зла; Игры по ведьмаку от CD Projekt RED; т.д. Сериал от Нетфликс – не тот случай.… Expand

How can I believe these ones can do it and who is going to play halflings then?
Eleves look like cosplaying mummers from the 90s.
Broken characters, nearly every character: Kalante, Ciri, Yen, Vilgefortz (saddest of all they just castrated him, forgive us Vil), Kagir.
Stupid motivations and decisions from main characters.
Battles!!!! Infantry attacks cavalry, mages used as a projectiles (what?? is mage cheaper than a barrel of fire?), classical: armor doesn't protect from anything, classical: wear armor during time of peace or if you perform other duties (seriously, why Vilgefortz wears piece of armor on his neck during the meeting of mages). Stupid changes to the original story. I get that you can't you can follow book word by word, but why ruin what was good there and put your own stupid ideas?
Brokilon, doppler's line (wtf was that?).

Most of all you lost all humor from books and all references to different myths and fairy tales.

What saga that we like you are going to cripple and castrate next?

Even ignoring the cast, the SJW agenda, the fact that few/none Slavic people have been cast in the SLAVIC-Central european based universe, the series itself is pretty awful. The writing is very dumbed down compared to the books, and many scenes have been simplified to be more casual-friendly. The timeline changes are awful, you get to a climactic point and suddenly it switches to another timeline, it's frustrating because it feels like the story keeps getting fragmented. The music is mediocre at best, they used your usual "fantasy" music instead of more traditional, medieval, folk music, it lacks any character. The overall filming technique doesn't feel right, too bright images, again, seems like your average Hollywood fantasy series, while the Witcher universe should have a much darker feeling, picture a bleak rainy day in a remote eastern European village. The CGI is hit or miss, but that Sylviann was absolutely ridiculous, made me laugh more then anything. The characters are forgetable, the acting is average at best, except Henry Cavill who is the ONLY redeeming feature of this series. He does make a GREAT Geralt, and it really shows that he read the books/played the games/was really into the universe before they filmed. Not the same can be said for the rest of the cast. If I was a casual watcher with zero knowledge of the Witcher universe, would have probably gave it a 5-6/10. But I had very high hopes for this, been waiting for years for a true high-budget adaption, and this was truly a crushing dissapointment.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was a brilliant first Step in the Witcher Universe. Episode 1 hit a brutally good opening. After that the quality slightly did go down, but all in all it was a very good first Season.

The Characters are phänomenal, Henry Cavill is just the right Geralt also Anya Chalotra as Yennefer was spot on. Lot of the side characters are well written and good picked.

The Scenery, atmosphere and also the CGI moments are very good for this first step. It was a high production value.

So was there something "bad"? Yeah there were a litte bit of confusing writing and storytelling, which lead to moments where it was very hard to follow at all. Also some Characters like Triss Merigold were kinda underrepresented. Lastly a few, really only a few, CGI moments werent that good.

All in all highly recommended for Fans and for New people to the franchise.… Expand

Terrible producer equals terrible product. SJW BS has ruined the show. No idea why culturally raping the Polish people and their history with POC washing was attempted in what could have been a special form of media.

It contains much of what you would want in a western fantasy, but the execution is not always what I would have hoped for. The story itself is nothing special, but somehow still managed to get me invested from the start. I don’t really know what part of the story gripped my attention, I just know for a fact that I couldn’t stop thinking and wondering of what was going to happen next.

The biggest surprise for me is how solid the acting is, especially Henry Cavill as Geralt, Anya Chalotra as Yennefer and Joey Batey as Jaskier. If only the writers would have done an equally good job, unfortunately they didn’t which made some dialogues feel very amateurish. Though most dialogue was actually good, but the ones that were bad stuck out like a sore thumb and cheapened the experience in more ways than bad dialogue usually does for me. And that’s a good summation of the show overall. Most things are good, but the bad somehow becomes very memorable and noticeable which makes the show feel very cheap and amateurish in certain instances.

There are some things that obviously needs to be fixed in the next season, but nothing so big that it can’t be done. I have high hopes that the ones in charge manage to solve the problems. If they do that and the story manages to pick up a little then I am sure that I’m going to love it, because It has already grabbed my attention, but I’m not fully hooked yet.… Expand

Henry Cavill is PERFECT, he is Geralt of Rivia at 100%.
Amazing, can't wait for the season 2.

Very good. Strong and follows spirit of books and games. I can't see them doing better with live action. The time jumping makes sense to explain complicated characters and background.

Next season should be much easier to pull off since they have the background set.… Expand

The series does not convey the spirit of Slavic fantasy. The creators instead of showing the Slavic folk in the West went the way of Hitler and destroyed all the Slavic that was in the book.

It's not Game of Thrones but it doesn't have to be.

It's still a very enjoyable dark fantasy world, Henry Cavill is the perfect cast for Heralt of Rivia despite many people wanting Mads Mikkelsen, the soundtrack is epic, especially theIt's not Game of Thrones but it doesn't have to be.

It's still a very enjoyable dark fantasy world, Henry Cavill is the perfect cast for Heralt of Rivia despite many people wanting Mads Mikkelsen, the soundtrack is epic, especially the memeworthy "Toss a coin to your Witcher".

It sure has some issues with the pacing and timeline confusions but hasn't spoiled all the fun for me while watching this.

Can't wait for season 2 with all its improvements and more Geralt.… Expand

Сериал снят мягко говоря не очень. Да, в какой-то момент заявили, что не будет полного соответствия книгам, но не сказали, что вырезать будут самые адекватные детали. Большенство персонажей показанные в сериале урезаны в своем характере, своем мировоззрении, даже сам Геральт, о котором собственно и сериал. По сравнению со старым сериалом, он ВО МНОГОМ проигрывает. Многих персонажей урезали в значимости для сюжета, некоторых возвысили..
Ужасная подача сериала с этими скачками во временных промежутках - как это будет смотреть неподготовленный зритель -не понятно.
Каст актеров так же оставляет желать лучшего - здесь затрону острую тему, но стремление угодить всем и каждому, добавляя актеров различных национальностей полностью убивает всю картину. Кто-бы что не говорил, это фентезийная, вымышленная вселенная с уклоном на славянскую и европейскую культуру 1200 годов, где затрагивать проблемы, связанные с рассовой дескриминацией - глупо и напротив, вызывающе.

Здесь вы не увидите ведьмака, не услышите хороших диалогов, истории этого мира, характеров персонажей, но увидите сильных женщин чародеек и черных эльфов.. Пропаганда да и только.… Expand
