I am a fan of the books and games, so I kept my expectations low. Which is why I managed to enjoy most episodes.

But let's be honest, the casting isn't great. And I do not just mean compared to the source material. The main actors are simply mediocre at best. Combined with the contrived plot and the slow pace, the entire first season sinks in a mire of underdeveloped characters, vague motivations and shots of Geralt walking around like a lumberjack.
