That is unfortunate. Could be absolutely great show made based on the book. Although writers managed to make the story very confusing and not making much sense. The absolute worst are dialogues. Most word that are used not matching the timeline. A lot of phrases and references belong to modern world but not mysterious medieval times that are shown by costumes, caracteres and locations. They could have just used MacBook or something from modern technology as well in some scenes to emphasize the verbal ridiculousness. Characters are a bit odd... Seriously the only one attractive part there is Henry Cavill and his impressive abilities to do action scenes. His fighting performances are great!! I wish there were more of them. And please hire professional writers for the next season, it seemed like dialogue were written by students in a high school drama club. Really painful. Such a shame I was waiting for the Witcher. Does not look anything like GOT. They have impeccable cast and dialogues in it.
