I have to admit, thoroughly enjoyed the first season of the adaptation. This is so much better than the books so, kudos to the production team! The book translations are so tedious and awkward, it's hard to read them even though I love Fantasy stories. Could never understand why they were best sellers. The actors chosen to play characters were very well picked, too. The only 2 nitpicks I have are these: It would have been helpful for people who have not read the books to give some kind of indication that the scenes with Geralt in them were happening in the past and the ones with Ciri were the "present" / future and that the two timelines were on a converging course. It took my husband too many episodes to figure it out (I did not clue him in) and as a result he was quite confused as to what was happening. The second nitpick is the use of the word "f" in this series (AND in the books). It just doesn't fit this type of story. I'm sorry... Every time Geralt or someone else utters it, it just sounds so contrived and fake, totally jarring with the reality of the story around. And no, I'm not a prude, I use it all the time.
