The first season is really campy. Sometimes it borders on Stargate-level when the soldiers armor seems to be made of plastic and the CGI is from a PS2.

But it's ok. You have four good actors in Geralt, Ciri, Jaskier and Yennefer, and it takes you a long way. There's much monster-of-the-week, but it's ok.

The second season, it upgrades the looks, but it totally downgrades the story. It fails to deliver when it tries to go beyond monster-of-the-week; the plot is jumpy and the show goes far away from the source material and inverts fan-favourite characters to unrecognizable levels.

Of the four main heroes, Jaskier is all but absent, and the others can only do so much with the exposition-heavy jargong, sub-par writing and scattered story.
