This was my most anticipated show of all time as I absolutely loved the books and games. Here are my quick two cents:

While not completely faithful to the books, the show is still very entertaining. Episode one surpassed all my expectations with the fantastic, casting, choreography, cinematography, music, etc. A perfect introduction for the Butcher of Blaviken.

Every episode is uniquely stunning with the music and sound design to match.

However, as the show goes on, Cavil is ultimately held back by the underdeveloped and sometimes nonsensical narrative. Fans of the books may be particularly disappointed with the poorly adaptated 'The Bounds of Reason' episode. Although, the dynamic between Geralt and Yen is excellent in this one.

The monster design is fairly lackluster.

Lastly, the lack of continuity regarding characters and monsters abilities/strength can be frustrating to watch.

Hopefully, future seasons will address these issues and focus more on character development and better dialogue because this show has incredible potential.

Overall, I think the show is superb and I recommend watching if you like the fantasy genre or enjoyed the books/games.
