Just finished the season, while I understand people's immediate reaction is to compare it to GoT - don't. Witcher may be the best book > video game > live action transition ever.

It's not perfect. Neither was GoT, neither was LotR. However, it has far exceeded my (admittedly low) expectations. Sure, there's always room for nitpicking... and fans of high fantasy are probably the most nit-picky... but this series is a gem. It's no wonder why it's the highest rated Netflix original yet.

People who're into the genre should be glad that shows such as this and GoT are as good as they are, given flop after flop of book to video game, video game to movie, book to movie transitions go.

If anything, it gives me even more anxiety towards upcoming LotR series on Amazon!

Well done.
