With all the fine work of the series, I had a question - why screenwriters have simplified the story so much? Not a spoiler, but why was it necessary to squeeze two books into 8 episodes? each could be stretched to 8-10 episodes, and there was no need to butcher the source text like that. Due to alterations, several obvious illogical episodes appeared, and drama was seriously weakened. Everything except the Yennifer story can be cut out of the series, and you will get a good spin-off named "Arethusa Horrors". But I want story about Geralt! About an empathic intellectual in the body of a battered warrior, who sometimes depicted as a grouchy cynic, then begins to think about the meaning of life. Which is too smart and ironic for a walking killing machine, but sometimes too simple-minded. Failed Peacemaker. Loving foster father and teacher. Unexpectedly for himself - a good leader of a strange small company of outcasts. He is neutral - but why? Witcher Code says so? No. He just knows how to listen and understand. And also, when you are always alone, it is easier to see both sides of any "Us VS Them". But this self-confident handsome man on the screen - he is not Geralt, he is Antonio Banderas. These like him are needed for two purposes - to beautifully kill and please women in bed. And grunt meaningfully sometimes. Henry Cavill plays pretty well what he was told to play. But not Geralt. Not Geralt at all.
