I haven't played the games, though, like many people, they're all in my Steam library. I haven't read the books. I never knew they existed.

Having watched this now, I am left with confusion. What is a Witcher? What does the world look like? Are the regions mentioned in the story small or large?

The worst, though, was the timeline jumping. Haircuts and costumes didn't change. The jumps weren't indicated at all. I didn't even realize there were timeline jumps until episode 3.

As for the casting... strong leads, but British accents and colloquialisms are evident fairly frequenty: "They can mess RIGHT off!"

It's gorgeous, though, with great choreography. That's pretty much it.
