I rated this highly after watching the first season but my opinion has changes drastically on finishing the third season. Disregarding the obvious stray from the books, what happened to the acting? The characters seem to now be monologuing their motives and emotions. Do the writers think the actors can't do their job? The audience knows that's not true based on their performance the first two seasons. Or do the writers think the audience is too stupid to understand emotions and plots without it being spelled out for them? Maybe it's just me, but I don't think it's necessary for "the bad guy" to say, "hey everyone, I'm the bad guy!"

I had high hopes for this show after the first season. Now I'm just disappointed that some Netflix team is trying to spoon feed some botched version of Andrzej Sapkowski's work to his fans.
