First off, this series is not based on the video games....it's based on the books. The reason this has to be said is because those who love playing the best video game ever made are going to compare it to that and then be disappointed. You have to go into watching this thinking with a different mindset. That being said.... I did not take my own advice and HATED who they got to play Yennefer! She is not attractive and does not have that "Witcher game" character style that I like (that's me not taking my own advice and comparing it to the game! She also looks like a man sometimes...just sayin'.) Anyway, I can't stand that actress and she was hard to watch in her scenes. Everyone else was fine and Henry Cavill knocked it out of the park with his portrayal and the way he said "roach!" Lol. The bard was kind of annoying, but apparently he was part of the books, so it is what it is. The series was entertaining with a few boring, out drawn scenes. The final episode was pretty good but did not have a good storyline for Geralt. I hope they kick it up a notch for the second season....and I guess I will have to deal with the actress who plays Yennefer!!
