It was disrespectful. It can't be called neither adaptation nor a good show. The characters had nothing to do with the original ones from the book. The same with the plot. And it would be understandable if the show would be good to watch - it wasn't. The execution was lazy, all over the place, and just left with huge feeling of disappointment. I've been a fan of the Witcher since many years, I was very excited to see it on the big screen and I was prepared to some changes. But honestly, it was a heartbreak. I haven't seen in this abomination anything I would expect from my beloved series. 1. Ciri had nothing to do with bratty 12 year old girl, a child. They made her cold, awkward young lady. She should start being a teenager after leaving the Kaer Morhen and being with Yen. 2. Yennefer never lost her power, it's not even a thing. Also wtf with this fire magic, with not avatar the last Airbender. 3. Triss - they ripped off important elements of her personality and just gave it to Yennefer. Why? 4. Visimir, why the hell would he want to create new Witchers while endangering the child?? 5. Eskel. I have no words. From lovely person they made him some weird sexual predator. 6. Cahir, his whole storyline is absolutely no relevant and had absolutely no sens, the whole point of this character was waaaay different and unique. It was one of my favorite characters in books, and what they did to him . It was not it. 7. Elves were supposed to be beautiful race. Disgusting. 8. Why would they use those terrible eye contacts? I've seen better ones in tik-toks. 9. Why would they ignore the great among of already created Slavic monsters and just make only new ones? Ignoring the whole folklore?
