Ok...so as someone who is very familiar with the games and books...I had high hopes for the show. That being said...I thought that for the most part the show was entertaining. I thought that Henry Cavill was awesome! I also thought Anya Chalotra did a decent job as Yen, and was just as beautiful as she should be. I did have a serious issue with a lot of the other casting that appeared to have been done for the sake of diversity when there was no need to diversify said characters. How do you take a character like Triss, who is very specifically described in the books and the games...and for the sake of what? make her look 100% different because why? Did the show creators decide that for the sake of diversity....let's misappropriate an entire region for the sake of pleasing the 3 people that would have complained about the show lacking cultural diversity? Makes no sense! I also took serious issue with the way the way the stories were told...the back and forth sometimes got very confusing and I lost track for a while of what was going on. All in all...not too bad...but let's hope the creators see some of the feedback and make some effective changes for season 2!
