First it was the book readers now it's the gameer Bois too.

Don't fret though. This series is fast paced, true to source but boldly experiments with some creative narrative. That is confusing the hell out of people. People fail to understand that there are people who haven't read the books or played the games.

Cinematography is mediocre, but season 2 has bigger budget so hoping it would improve. Some new characters are to be introduced. Everyone in season 1 has done great job. I like the casting of Triss Merigold unlike many who are simping for the video game Triss. VFX and sound design is great, watch it with good headphones or sound system. Background score is great but I prefer the video game score.

Editing is okay. I wish they'd let the scenes linger for longer time. Let us soak in the emotions. I personally would prefer more episodes per season. There are many lores in source material.

Give this a chance. It's not game of thrones or lord of the rings but it has potential to be its own thing.
