First of all, I've read the books and played the games several times. Geralt is my all time favorite game character and I also love Yennefer. I was so excited for this show and maybe my expectations were to high...

It's not a bad show. Henry Cavill is awesome as Geralt. And I really like the casting of Dandelion and Ciri. The fight scenes are great and I love the look of Geralt casting signs.

The problem for me is that I find it all so incredibly boring! I just don't care about the story or any the characters. It might be because I already know alot of the story, but it should be exciting to see how the show executes it and what they keep or change. But it just doesn't. It's almost like they try too hard to make me feel for the characters, but everything is happening so quickly and I don't feel invested in anything.

For me it's not the acting. I think it's more the pacing, the script and the editing. The pacing is all over the place and the episodes are too long. The script is cringey at times and I feel like they repeat things too much. We know Witchers are looked down on by humans. We know Yennerfer feels worthless. They don't have to repeat it again and again in the same episode.

I also feel like the costumes could have been a lot better. I'm sure they had a limited budget, but honestly it looks a little ridiculous. Everyone looks like they're in a play and should be on a stage. The costumes doesn't blend with the environment and takes my focus away from what is happening story wise. When you watch a movie or a tvshow, the costumes should feel authentic to the characters, and not stand out in a distracting way. Hopefully this will get better as we get more seasons, as this happens with alot of tvshows.

I don't love it, but I'll still give season 2 a shot. It definitely has alot of potential and maybe it's a show that needs to grow on me with time.
