I am past judging the poor actor selection, terrible acting and execution.

What i can't stand is how could you take the book and then decide all of it is a mere suggestion? Why couldn't you resist the urge of "improving" them when life experience tells a story it never is succesful? Is it your ego speaking?

If so, why not write a brand new story for some B-series fantasy where you can do all sorts of wonky stuff without ruining an opportunity to create something great based on core material, why?

This is the third time someone makes Witcher appear on the screen. We whought third times the charm. It really isn't', it is utterly horrible.
