I love fantasy shows and this IP is my favorite, I like it more than GOT. However, the execution of this leaves much to be desired. The books came first, and the videogame opened the IP to a bigger audience. Both are very well written. This shows is not. It doesn't stick to the source material and the things they do add is hard to keep the viewer intrigued. (For example, the Ciri/monoliths story that is very boring and unnecessary.) The positives of the show are Henry Cavill and his accurate depiction of Geralt of Rivia. Some action sequences are well done, like the battle in the end of the first episode. But the writers of this show feel like they can do better than the original author and it's easy to see that is the cause of the decline of this show. As a Witcher fan who came before the show. It leaves much to be desired. I don't see The Witcher making it past 4th season, and it was intended to have 8.
