So I'm a witcher fanboy, I've played the games and read the books. I was prepared to be disappointed. I wanted to rate this lower but I couldn't. However, the biggest downfall is the how ridiculously badly the timeline is portrayed. The series jumps backwards decades with no discernable difference to the previous scene, particularly in the first few episodes with Jen. The battle with Nilfgaard in Cintra is used as the basis for the current timeline. After that things get confusing for anyone who's not familiar with the witcher universe as it hops back and forth. I don't know why they just didn't run with a linear timeline and when they needed to flash back indicate this with a different shade or use a "10 years ago" text. Besides that the action scenes are excellent, stunning fight choreography that perfectly captures how lethal Geralt is meant to be. I also thought his use of signs is done brilliantly. What is missing from the series is more Geralt action scenes.. as for a series called the witcher he's not in it much!
