Ben N @Bneffer May 3 More of the world of The Witcher is not a bad thing. I think more locations and less focus on just Xin'trea could have been a good thing, and the overall plot is fairly simple and develops a little too quickly. I found it difficult to connect to Merwyn or Balor unfortunately. Some fights were splashy without substance. A two season build up with more plot to help explain the rational behind some decisions and establish stronger characters would have helped. Regardless, I enjoyed my watch, but it's just ok in the end. It got an extra star for the songs. I love bards and the songs were pretty good.

Blood Origin - female focused, plot and execution, garbage. Rats - super female self centered focus, terrible plot and execution, garbage. Should have kept Cavill in the mix, shouldn’t have let only women call all the shots, shouldn’t have been so desperate to turn such a beloved brand into a selfish endeavour assert feminity all over the place. Thanks Haily Hall, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, Tasha Huo, and Aaron Stewart-Ahn for caring more about asserting feminity all over the place instead of sticking to what The Witcher material is actually about. I hope this and all the failed Hollywood projects that are managed by girl bosses who focus on feminine personal political and idealogical agendas continue fail. Women are amazing, we need them, their contributions to the world are unmatched, don’t mean you need yo make everything about them forcefully.

It avoids the tired trope of Yennefer and Geralt's terrible love story and brings actual compelling stakes. This is a fantastic and fun fantasy adventure that stands alone and maybe that's the point? If you are not familiar with the game or original show, you're probably going to like this a lot! I suspect a lot of these bad ratings are from the fan base because this apparently departs from source material. This is actually an entire party of cool characters that I would love to see a heck of a lot more from. It's like if critical role was live action and took itself a bit more seriously.

I also liked the first three seasons of the Netflix series. But this one...a total waste of time. Bad acting, bad dialogues, bad action scenes and an even worse script. The decision-makers behind this atrocity should feel ashamed because this limited series destroyed the fascination of the Witcher universe almost single-handedly. Skip it. Don't watch it. It's really a waste of your time.

A shame Netflix hasn't yet picked up on Moorcock's outstanding stories from the 1960's and 1970's - they will, one day!

It is very healthy and aesthetically rich. The story line goes very fluent and i really could understand the characters. I absolutely disagree with a rating below 6 for this series. It was very shocking to find how the other watchers find this series. The director and the actors have my gratitude for their fascinating job. I am sure i am going to watch it every 2 years (just to make sure i forget it and it is fresh to me again…🌹 See more Read all reviews
