Season 3 of the Witcher certainly has its flaws but what it is... is more faithful to the books than either of the two preceding seasons. Amazingly so and although some of the scenes are a bit flat, the attempt to stay true to the books is evident to anyone who has read them, in story, plot and progression.

Those complaining that series 3 strayed from the books have evidently not read the books, not read time of contempt and don't know their proverbial backside from the elbow when it comes to the books.

Or they wouldn't be spouting such utter garbage.

Rate the show bad if you don't like it, but don't jump on the "Not faithful to the books" bandwagon, because you heard Cavill was leaving because he felt the series wasn't faithful to the books. That may have been the case in the first 2 seasons but season 3 was as faithful as could be to the books.
