Direction: 5/10 * the show runner needed to really spread this out to other directors and be open to other visions.

Writing: 3/10 * feels like they did not have a lot of time and were rushed.

Editing: 4/10 *seems like you had no choice

Cinematography: 7/10 *camera choices felt safe and unsure. A lot of post lighting effects which destroys camera work.

Color: 6/10 *Looks rushed.

Acting: 6/10 *Henry 9/10 everyone else 3/10

Wardrobe: 7/10 *stuff looks cheap

VFX: 7/10 *looks like cheap blender and after effects. Look dev is off, animation and comp issues, sub par matte paintings.

Sound / audio: 7/ 10 *seemed decent however certain points needed some foley. Missed a lot of good potential places

Music: 6/10 Feels like it's way to complicated than it needs to be. The key to great music is simplicity.

Makeup SFX: 7/10

Choreography: 8/10

Conclusion: I don't know any thing about the Witcher coming in and I feel a lot of the ratings are coming from people that has a prior knowledge of the series.

However I'd like to point out from a fresh perspective this story lacks a lot of visual explanations that need to adhere to people like me.

I need to understand what a Witcher even is and i feel this show has failed to explain that in the beginning.

This show deserves a narrative. This is a fantasy show. Understand the genre.

Henry has a strong voice and dam I'd totally be okay if he just narrated the whole dam thing hahaha. Felt like they missed that opportunity :/

I feel there is a lot of lazy filler parts that are very Unnecessary. This show could be cut in half the time.
