As a big fan of the books and the games i feel like there are som reviews here that give to much credit.

The short stories in the books is a way to get the readers to learn about the world the characters. The stories themselves are amazing, well writen and just as dark as the whole series. Here in the netflix version they have mixed it together with the main story, removed and/or changed the stories to make them much worse then they could have been, something i noticed the most in the dragon hunter story, to me, one of the better of the short stories in the books, here one of the worst, bright and joyfull insteed of the dark suspence way it should have been, changing they way the whole story was told to something horrible. The cgi is prob one of the owrst i have seen in a long time.

Another thing that kinda ruined it for me is some of the characters. Triss and Vilgefortz especially. In the books Sapkowski gave the witches the abillity to change their appearance, alot of them were born with deffects, something that is shown with yennefer. Triss looks very bland, like a gipsy whos been on the road for to long with no chance to bath or clean herself. Vilgefortz the most powerfull sorcerer and with muc charisma was dumb down and could have been just a random nobody.

The most possitive part was Henry Cavill as Geralt, just outstanding and deserves all the praise. Anya as Yennefer, solid so far with room for improvement.

Hopefully the show will get better as the main plot starts
