Many people won't agree with me, but I feel like this didn't satisfy me. I have really high demands on every thing, it must be just perfect. It will look like I'm just criticizing (and it's true), but other things that I didn't mention were alright. I've read books and played third game. Adaptation: Every adaptation of books is now compared to GoT, which is the best adaptation, so I will use it to describe Witcher. The glory of GoT (I mean specifically TV show) belongs to GRRM. TV show was great until the writers were out of source, which means why do show ended how it ended. Here you are at the beginning, so follow books. Each tale could take one whole episode, when it would be adopted correctly, instead of this mixed something... Story: As I mentioned the storytelling wasn't good. I like the way of books, where Ciri's story was barely mentioned. There would be plenty of time to get to know her better. On the other hand I understand (and I may say I'm glad), that story of Yennefer is involved, it describes mages more for people, who haven't read books. Tales which were shown weren't really good written, there weren't many dialogues to make a bond with some characters, mainly Yarpen Zigrin for me. In first serie they were just repeating two things and these were destiny and babies. For new people in Witcher franchise it must be hard to orient in a world. Actors and acting, something about characters: Geralt (and Henry Cavill) was truly the best part of show for now, even though he had lower time on a screen than he should have. I never had a problem with his figure, cause it looks more believable for me. Anya Chalotra isn't Yennefer for me and that never changes. Other mages are the same, only Tissaia and Sabrina are acceptable. Dandelion was right one, but I'm missing one tale about him and his affairs if I recall correctly. Placing black actors on a place of white is really bad joke and one of the big problems this show will have. Production: Best fencing I've ever seen, but just in Henry's presentation. I don't have a problem with Nilfgaardian armour, but my sense for clothing is really bad. Cahir's helmet is the only problem, his helmet is quite unique and important to the story. In the end I would expect more from some creatures.
