I don't normally write reviews but for this series i make an exception. I have not read the books neither have I played the games but I still do know a good amount of the witcher wild hunt game.

For me the best part was Henry Cavills acting as Geraldt but for too many times I felt like the series was focusing on developing the supporting characters instead of the main protagonist. And a lot of those times it felt more like being forced to witness the independence and strength of a woman, but that was not the reason i started to watch this series, I wanted to see the good acting of Henry as Geraldt and to see more of the witcher than of the others on the series!

Also the world building wasn't easy to follow since I have not read the source material nor played the games, but at least i know that the setting is a medieval Poland and not the wonderland of Netflix where every race is evenly represented and the evil white haired men are banned from entering...thats the feeling im left with all the production of Netflix.

At the same time everything Netflix touches feels cheap, I can't put my finger on what it is. I have watched GOT and i loved how it was made (Till the fourth season) and how it looked expensive. Seeing The Witcher i can't help but to feel it to be atleast three times cheaper than GOT even when it has the same budjet! Also the screen writing does not satisfy.

After seeing the first season I was left with the feeling of not even caring to see the next nor do i care when it will be out. This series misses a lot in developing Geraldt as protagonist! I have to say im glad how they portrayed Ciri.

Last but not the least. Why does the bad guy in this story look like a teenager dressed in a plastic scrotum armor?? And same goes with his army, they all look like plastic scrotum warriors who wear a skimask under their helmet? They put effort in making bedsheets and pillow cases look like real medieval fabric but at the same time they dress a whole army with plastic scrotum and skimasks?? And I'm led to believe this series has the same budjet as GOT?
