While I liked the season 1, I liked far less season 2. But season 3 is by far the worst. The scenario is really bad and confuse; Geralt is stuck in politics and we barely see any monster. In adition, Episode 7 (or 6?) of season 3, where Ciri is lost in the desert was especially boring and uninspired.
Worst of all is the woke agenda; among other things, the Witcher's universe is now turning into Wakanda. I don’t recognize it anymore.
I am done with this show; season 3 killed it. I still give one point for season 1; which was decent.… Expand

They should have given this over to someone more qualified not the "showruiner" Lauren Schmidt... This is far off from the books and games and only good thing about it is Geralt/Henry

Except of henry cavil that is an outstanding actor, there is nothing good in these series. After season 1 the second was bad, the 3rd i really didnt undertand anything at all. Nothing is like the books or the game, and moreover nothing makes sense...

Peter Jackson had a lot of respect for the Lord of the Rings books, unlike Lauren Schmidt. She doesn't care about the original source and fans of the original story. Casting for female characters is extremely unsuccessful.

I played the game three times and read some of the literature. I endured the identity politics of the Netflix series at launch, but I should've seen this would systematically take centre stage as the series progressed. I find it utterly disgusting that creatively bankrupt writers abuse not only the public entertainment stage, but also widely loved story-IP and twist it into poorly fabricated concoctions that serve little more than promoting their far-left morally depraved ideology. As if that isn't enough they still have the audacity to blame their resulting failure on the fans of the original IP.… Expand

I wanted to write a detailed review but found myself buried in the mess this series is. It seems like authors chose the Witcher for a cool main hero, Ciri with skills that could excuse a lot and most importantly - a profitable brand.
Why elseI wanted to write a detailed review but found myself buried in the mess this series is. It seems like authors chose the Witcher for a cool main hero, Ciri with skills that could excuse a lot and most importantly - a profitable brand.
Why else bother with calling it an adaptation, if you're trashing the complex world with its relations, characteristics and history, completely change deep, well-based characters for simple and unstable ones and throw away the main plot which binds everything.
Plot feels like the script was created based on a 5-minute summary video of the books, and even that being watched while multi-tasking on a conference call. How I imagine this call:
- Oh, Ciri develops a controlled interdimentional travel capabilities over several years, let's make Stargate out of it, you know, the bad seasons. And make her learn that on the spot while running. Tell her she can do it, because that's how women empowerment should work, right?
- Also, there's not enough people of color. Let's throw away the one's that were actually there in the books and make half of the folk black. No, not the southern nations, the ones in middle-ages-like northern kingdoms. Just not the ones in slums. This will add to realism. Oh, and don't forget the elves.
- What about people with disabilities? Llet's make Dwarves people with dwarf syndrome, with a dwarf woman with a beard. It's not like it's going to offend anyone, right? We can do it because that's more inclusive.

To summarise, I am a huge fan of The Witcher universe and understand that changes are bound to happen in adaptation, like they did in games. They can even add or correct some things in the original. I was disappointed with season one but I gave this series benefit of the doubt. I told myself that altering timeline and changing main character's backstories was supposed to create a solid foundation for season 2 for all viewers. What happened then is not even incompetent, but criminal.… 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

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

While I liked the season 1, I liked far less season 2. But season 3 is by far the worst. The scenario is really bad and confuse; Geralt is stuck in politics and we barely see any monster. In adition, Episode 7 (or 6?) of season 3, where Ciri is lost in the desert was especially boring and uninspired.
Worst of all is the woke agenda; among other things, the Witcher's universe is now turning into Wakanda. I don’t recognize it anymore.
I am done with this show; season 3 killed it. I still give one point for season 1; which was decent.… Expand

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

To be honest, it could be worse. If you watch CW fantasy shows you would probably even like this one. But if you want something like Game of Thrones or some more of the Witcher games or books you will be disappointed.
It has some goodTo be honest, it could be worse. If you watch CW fantasy shows you would probably even like this one. But if you want something like Game of Thrones or some more of the Witcher games or books you will be disappointed.
It has some good moments, mostly thanks to Henry Cavill and Dandelion, but most of the time I was just trying to understand what people behind this TV show were thinking making so many scenes and episodes almost intentionally worse than they could be. The worst thing is that this show doesn't give you a feeling that this world is alive and breathing, with its own countries, cultures, races, organizations, laws, traditions that interact with each other by their own internal logic. You know, like good fantasy does. Instead it feels like a visit to a cosplay party where most of the people are just normal modern age guys you see each day, just in costumes. Seriously, even the old cheap polish Witcher TV show adapted some episodes from the book better than this high-budget title.
Anyway, I've finished it, and I've seen worse, but in the end it just filled me with regrets that someone better didn't adapt this book series.… Expand

Acting is the worst I've seen in professional movie-making at this level. Henry Cavil tries too much. Costumes are funny-looking, dialogue is stupid. And don't get me started on the cast. Setting nowadays political correctness trend aside, the choice is ridiculous. The saga setting is Slavic, they had books, they had games to take ideas from. It's not racist, but black elves and Indian or Arabic characters don't fit in the story. WTF. It's like watching the 300 movie with Japanese actors.

There was talk of this becoming the new Game of Thrones, instead they created a bad version of Xena the Warrior Princess. That was at least a parody in its own sense and at least watchable.… Expand

Had this been a new, original brand, it would still be an average title at the very most most. But if one wants to lean on an existing brand, one must be prepared to be judgeded by it's standard. There is no room for excuses like "but it is not supposed to be to similar to the games". If so: drop the "Witcher" title as bait for viewers. You cannot have it both ways. We have been promised a "Witcher" movie, we have been served something else entirely. Naming the characters alike and squeezing in (with little logical justification) some of the action scenes from the game/books is not a believeable "magic trick". It's and easy run for your money.

Furthermore, this show takes itself so seriously. Not at all as the books or even the game. Enormous waste of time. The best thing about this show, that it is so bad when compared to the original, that a lot people went back to reread the books, just to cleanse themself from this S-word of a show.

If there was ever a re-try, the only thing I would like to see is Anya back. And no: not Jaskier (although I know this is an unpopular opinion).… Expand

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.

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
