Aside ofe Henry C. amazing portail of Geralt It's one big mess... It preatty much has nothing to do with books. If you don't care about books, there are still massive holes in plot or logic...

Season 2 seems to pull the brakes hard on season 1s excitement, story telling and mystery. I never played the games or read the books but season 1 pulled me in with its complex time jumping which was hard to follow but built nicely unfolded the narrative keeping you wanting more. Season 2 had none of this it was all abit tv soap drama for me. I was watching with the wife she got bored after episode 2. I pushed on but it was all action no plot. Big shame as I thought season1 was sooo compelling.

A bad fanfic. Netflix could have had the next Game of Thrones on its hands, instead they basically made a Hercules knockoff without the humor and with a famous license slapped on it. Avoid in general, but especially if you're a fan of the source material.

Although it sometimes gets bogged down in its own dense and ill-explained mythology, the second season of the Netflix hit The Witcher proves to be a welcome improvement over the first. Season two ditches the time-jumping and overly-convoluted storyline from the first, replacing it with a linear direction that is much easier to follow. The story picks up right where it ended last time, with Geralt (Henry Cavill) and Ciri (Freya Allan) finding each other. They then go off to Kaer Morhen, a sort of Witcher home base located on a treacherous mountain where Ciri further expands her abilities by training to become a Witcher herself, all while learning more about her innate abilities as a child with Elder Blood. As the season develops we find Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) has lost her powers after using fire magic to end the Battle of Sodden. She and Fringilla (Mimi Ndiweni) are soon visited by a dark force promising them their deepest desires if only they fulfill the force's demands. It can all get a little difficult to parse at times, so viewers are likely thankful that at least the story is easy to follow even if the rules and terms aren't always so simple. Even the geography of it all gets a little perplexing. It's a shame that Game of Thrones pulled off the "map as a title sequence" so well that emulating it would elicit criticism because it certainly helped us to get a better sense of a fantasy world. In The Witcher, though, it's often difficult to picture. There's Nilfgaard, Cintra, Redania, and more but we as viewers have no way of conceptualizing what any of that means and that's very limiting in a series about war and power struggle. But, if you can put all the big picture stuff aside, the journey is truly excellent and easy enough to follow even if you're not sure that you completely understand. This is thanks in large part to the performances that are, once again, really commendable. It's what sold the package during season one and it once again helps here. Both Cavill and Chalotra are the standouts, no doubt, but the rest of the cast is similarly committed and without that commitment The Witcher has the potential to get silly quickly. Thankfully that never happens, instead we're treated to a story about a badass monster hunter who gets swept up in a story of prophetic and world-altering proportions made decidedly human by the father-daughter relationship that emanates therefrom. Season two ups the ante but also focuses the story, making our appetite for season three grow tremendously.

So Here's what happens when you have to make your own version of a masterpiece and you don't take into account either fans or the fact that you yourself can't write.The only reason the first episode is reasonably good is because it's taken straight from the book, with the exception that Ciri isn't even in it because it took place several years before. It's sad that the screenwriters hates the story and that they think themselves as good at writing as Andrzej Sapkowski. This series will not survive season 3 and certainly not 4 without Henry Cavill who really wanted to stick to the original story.

Second season was great. No drop from season one. Wish they had more episodes per season. Very awesome

The graphics and characters are solid but the plot is a mess. Poorly written plot line, hard to follow, lot's of off the wall turn of events.
