This is a decent series. A medieval adventure similar in theory to GOT... but it has some problems. There are three main characters. The Witcher, a sorceress, and a princess. Over 8 episodes each has a story that is laid out and in the end they all come together. For me there were two problems (1) I had zero interest in 2 of the three characters -- most uninteresting was imho the Witcher and (2) as others have noted, it was difficult to understand the differing time lines. This might lead to a headache.

The most interesting story for me was Yennefer of Vengerberg. Born with a hunchback and overbite she becomes a powerful sorceress along with becoming a beauty. Her story was strong for most of the series but boring for some of it.

I disagree with the review that said Henry Cavill carried the show. He was basically the weakest part. I mean sure if your only goal is to look at him, you will be rewarded as I think in all 8 episodes he is shirtless at some point and he definitely broods but his character and and acting are boring.
