I rarely write a review but I do hope the producers read these because as fans, it's in their interest to succeed. First of all, so far this is Cavill's life time role. He embodies the role and the research he did , shows. And that's about it. The rest is clearly dedicated a lesser research by the producers: some good acting from the other actors but they don't feel as if they live in that world as Geralt/Cavill does. It's not enough for good actors to just act they must live in that world and they need better scrips to do so. Props for the production designers etc, they did a very good job. So, want is the issue with this series? Well, like I said some better acting and set scenes, deeper drama and most importantly a departure from "Americanism" . The show suppose to represent slavic folklore, and that is painfully missing. If the show runners don't create a unique Slavic setting and it's just another generic fantasy setting then the show will fail miserably in the long run. The show does not have a strong enough world identity and it needs one. The show seems to focus on time jumps as to make the show sophisticated, it's wrong. The sophistication of the show should rely on great storytelling and world emersion. Cavill is clearly doing his part right, now it's time for the rest of the pieces to follow at the same caliber. Producers and directors should push for a high level of craftsmanship on all film departments
