The shortcomings of 'The Witcher' are staggeringly abundant, making for an overall underwhelming experience. If not for Cavill's commanding presence, my rating for the series would plummet to a meager 3 out of 10. The question that arises then is, where does one begin the dissection?

The narrative construction continues to be a muddled area, with the writers from the inaugural season evidently failing to rectify their understanding of timeline continuity. The chronology of events remains persistently murky and sporadically leapfrogs without any logical rhythm or coherence. Such haphazard interlacing of timelines only contributes to a sense of disorientation, making it exceedingly challenging to engage with, let alone develop a keen interest in, the unfolding subplots.

A further grievance I hold against 'The Witcher' is its uncanny resemblance to a melodramatic daytime soap opera, replete with sappy sentimentality and contrived plot lines. The attempts at humor, unfortunately, are just as bleak, generating little more than an echo of amusement. The sole redeeming quality, if any, appears to be Cavill's unwavering dedication to his craft. His compelling portrayal of his character serves as a lifeline, pulling me back to the edge of the narrative abyss, despite my growing disinterest.
