I will try to make this review spoiler free. Which isn't hard because this review is for all the episodes and both season 1 and 2.

Note: I've read the books and played the games.

Season 1: Not great, not terrible. Henry Cavill looked pretty nice as Geralt, and Ciri was acceptable. The rest of the cast was very obviously chosen to please the minorities. Andrzej Sapkowski might be a greedy old man, but he did build something beautiful. The director seemingly spat on the well-estabilished characters and used their Hollywood/USA-biased vision to create their own version in the name of "social justice". I don't mind minorities, I don't care about politics, but if you get hired for a show NOT because of your acting skills, but because your skin color, then there's something very wrong. Bland acting poisoned Season 1, which was only saved by Henry's performance. He carried the show, and he was JUST enough to make it bearable. And I don't even want to mention the plot, which was all over the place.

But I do anyways.

They are taking from all the books at the same time, and even sometimes from the games to create some monstrous thing, then add their kindergarten-level of writing. And voila: the plot.

Season 2: This. Was. Awful. But you know what? I watched it, because how could I judge them if I didn't even watch the monster they created. The characters, that were strong and powerful, became little mices in Season 2. And I noticed something. The obligatory black NPCs in every scene. They're pushing it too far. It is not 2021 America, it's medieval Poland, keep that in your mind. The costumes got worse, the actors look like they are in some low budget Cosplay Con. Vesemir looks like a fat trailer truck guy making hot-dogs in his free time in New York. The witchers looked nothing like Andrzej described them. The only good thing in this season was the scenery, Kaer Morhen looked beautiful.

The plot got messier, with unnecessary sub-plots that lead nowhere. They mix in all the books together, taking the beast guy and turning him into a pathetic hog, instead of an actual beast. And why was Ciri even there?

They massacred the books, massacred the games and oh, you can be sure they will continue. If you think this is a film adaptation, it is not. It's a standalone series with the character names and locations taken from the books. That's the only similarity. The rest is... well, THIS.

Sorry... if you didn't read the books, MAYBE it's an acceptable show. But nothing more.
