First things first. Henry Cavill is great. I did not believe he would be but he kills it. It shows that he knows the franchise, Geralt, the world and the work of Doug Cockle. He is way to handsome for Geralt but I love him in the role.

The rest of main cast is wierd. Feels out of place. Cant tell why. I especially don't like Yennefer. The accteress is beautiful but Yennefer is supposed to be a woman, a femme fatale, and she does not feel like it. It's like she's stiil in high school.

Story stays true to Witcher and basically merges Sapkowski's short stories as episodic arcs with the the big arc of Ciri and Ithlinne's prophecy.

The problem of the show is its production/direction. It feels american, corporate, safe. It's like the forget it takes place in 13th century Slovan world. I am all for inclusion when it does not break the immersion and story. Come on. Black elf. Hispanic Triss Merigold. Apart from that I can tell that they try to make it more easily consumable by Anglo-Saxon culture.

I also feels it's too heavy on CGI and cheap postprocessing.
