Forget Home Alone or Die Hard - in a few years people will all be re-watching the Witcher as part of their Christmas ritual. Magic, mystery, adventure, dragons, fantastical beasts (and not where to find them), humour, action...

The show clearly has high production value. It shows that the people who made the "top" decisions in making the Witcher were fans of the story, setting and characters. The show is simply beautiful, the fight scenes are epic, all choreography is shot in wide-angle, it's clear and stable, almost like watching an old-timely Jackie Chan fight scene - they WANT your to see and enjoy the fights.

If you are a fan of the games (at least the most recent one) or the books, you might be a bit irked about certain choices of actors - some characters "magically" changing race, hair colour, facial features, etc, which, at times, can bring your immersion out of the show. Personally, it is a small inconvenience, and I don't believe it's worth deducting ratings for that.
