I didn't read the books nor played any of the games. I knew nothing about it before watching this series. And i constantly felt that the writers seem to be expecting audiences to be familiarized with the universe of The Witcher. Apart from that the dialogue is atrocious at times, so unrealistic it falls into the absurd. The plot is jumping all over the place, and not in a good way. Which turns out to be somewhat confusing at times. Combine that with mediocre directing and editing and you got yourself a barely watchable show. It's still entertaining and the action scenes are OK, the premise is engaging and had potential, it just feels like it ended up on the wrong hands. This is aimed at the fans of the books and the games.
