Featured review
The first season was pretty good in my opinion. It was not perfect because of the confusing timeline and some poor casting choices (Fringilla in particular). But at least it followed the story of the books.
But season 2 hurts. The writers of the show are rewriting the story unnecessarily, and it turns out much worse than the original material. Except for episode 1, the writers of this show simply do not understand what makes The Witcher world interesting. The Deathless Mother is boring, the brief glimpse of the Wild Hunt is boring and out of a million creepy and original monsters, the series finale has them fighting a bunch of velociraptors, because this is apparently Jurassic Park.
And while Henry Cavill isn't doing so great in the role of Geralt, I can hardly blame him, considering the bad dialogue writing overall. Freya Allan as Ciri is the best thing in this series. And to think that they almost didn't cast her just shows how out of touch the producers of this show are.
Just follow the books, and maybe this series can be saved.
Edit: Season 3 is such a trainwreck, it doesn't even deserve a review.
