I just can't believe all the non critical praise I see for this show all over the internet. I mean is the bar for fantasy really this low? I consider myself a longtime Witcher fan, starting way back when it was just an obscure video game so I am not just some random hater. I've also read all the books (which are overpraised, imo). Exclude Cavil who I think is the only one worth praise and worth watching to the end, this show mises pretty much on all targets. Starting with unreasonable forced diversity of characters which is jarring to say the least. Continuing with cringe dialogs, bad CGI, ridiculous fights (knights in full armor droping with a single slash, characters in mortal danger oblivious to said danger...), everything looks somewhat cheap and video-gamey and you get this absolute cringefest of a show.

Witcher games made this name special and gave it this amazing ambience, music, adult and quality tone which this Americanised show completely fails to deliver.
