I haven't read books like majority and played onlly 3rd sequel of witcher. But even so it made me fell in love with it, books are in plans. I played it twice, second time final edition with all add ons.

Only comparing this to a game one can come to a simple conclusion only season 1 is done to a true witcher spirit. Letting go Henry Cavill which is a true to the bone Witcher fan (both game and books) means only one thing, disaster.

There was potencial to do this the right way, season 1 was good, imo spot on for the introducing season even tho separation in certain regard started in very first season but with season 2 and now definitely season 3 I'm 100% certain this show is ruined.

Will watch season 3 out of respect to Henry Cavill and that's it from me.

PS And all this "new age" bs we are being exposed to in 99% of holywood motion pictures is definitely starting not to only annoy people but killing the quality of stories. Witcher had all the worlds potencial to be an extraordinary tv show, as some more beside it as mentioned GoT etc but they killed it by following this narrative of "racial equality by all price", thinking they are better suited to decide on the story than the original writter which was fully accepted by fan base.
