At first two episodes, the time issue is not clear. I dont know anything about the books or the games. As an outer audience, I started to understand the the connection bw characters after third episode. And I could'nt get use to hanry cavil as the witcher. It is like he is pushing himself too much to play the character. It feels so unnaturel. The effects, war scenes and fight scenes are really successful. the season final was great. I will look forward for the new season.
