First of all, let's get something out of the way. I've never seen Game of Thrones so I am not comparing The Witcher to that show.

This show just didn't capture me. I wanted to like it so bad, Mr Cavill is one of my favorite actors, but unfortunately this show will not go down as a highlight of his career. I appreciate his enthusiasm for the character and the video game, he brought Geralt to the screen in a very good an authentic way. But it just didn't work for me. Nevertheless, he is the only positive thing that I can think of about this show.

I don't know what's the production budget, but so many times the entire thing felt like a B-category, cheap production. Poorly written dialogues, not so great acting from the rest of the cast (I didn't care for any of the characters) and casting choices. The CGI was okay overall, the sword fight scenes were great. The editing of the plot progress was confusing sometimes, made me wonder what the heck is going on, unfortunately not in a good way.

I'm not sure if I give the second season a chance after the first one.
