I'll be honest I never read the books, but I did see an old Polish film and even though it was a flawed film in 2000s I still enjoyed the setting... Skip 20 years or so and we get 3 Witcher Computer Games and this amazing TV show... There is no much point comparing this to GOT, the similarity so far is the Medieval Fantasy setting and several kingdoms fighting for power, and that's it.. The difference compared to Game of Thrones is that GoT is more global with a focus on multiple main characters and whole families , while the Witcher TV so far focuses on 3 main characters which is Witcher himself, Jenifer the sorceress and a young girl Ciri which seems something more than a simple girl... Is the show good compared to GoT? Absolutely, in fact it seems there is much more happening in these 8 episodes than in the first season of GoT ... The production is high value... The acting from Henry Cavell and Anya Chalotra are superb... What else did I miss ah yes loads of nudity and in fact there are some damn fun sex scenes, humour is also present, literally enjoy... I never played Witcher 2 &3 only first one, now seems like I will ...
