Well...I was super hyped for this series, even if at first I thought Henry Cavill wouldn't be the best fit for playing Geralt. Turns out he is actually the main reason to keep watching. For me, Cavill plays the most convincing and you can clearly see that Geralt is the only character that has been truly worked out. I REALLY didn't enjoy the first few episodes but after watching further it got better and I grew to quiet like it and even love it at times. My main issues are that so much (sadly) doesn't feel right. Things are rushed that shouldn't be (the complexity of Geralt, meaning his conflict between feeling emotions even though as a Witcher he shouldn't) and some are dragged out to a point I was happy I could skip it (Ciri in this weird forest and Yennefers backstory before she became a sorceress). Too much fighting in Cintra for my taste, rushed and over dramatized backstories, sometimes really bad writing and directing. Now, why is it still worth 7 stars? Pretty much any Geralt scene was great. Loved his interactions with Jaskier and Roach and when he was off fighting some monsters. I liked the humor and the sword fights. I think they just wanted to put too much into one season. Why not only focus on the backstories and then go on ahead. Or just leave them out and show glimpses of them. Let the viewers adapt to this world, let them go with Geralt on monster hunts, into some taverns and after all that you can introduce all those characters you want in there too. In a way we got all of that but it felt like it was all over the place and only for such a short time before it changed back to Yennefer or Ciri (wich for me sadly weren't written all too well). The series failed at gripping you and pulling you into this universe. I hope they will improve some stuff for the next season as this series and Geralts story has so much potential!
