I really don't like how people and the media are trying to compare The Witcher with Game of Thrones. The two are on completely different levels. You'll be disappointed if you go into this expecting Game of Thrones.

That said, this show is incredibly well done. The scenery, landscapes, and special effects are amazing. It makes me want to read the books, and may have made it to my to-read book list.

The only downfall to this series is the time jumping. There's no distinction between what's happening now and what happened in the past. It does take a few episodes to understand what's going on, and I think it throws a bunch of people off. These "flashbacks" are necessary to understand how the three main characters' paths cross and their destiny.

I'm looking forward to season 2 to see how the story will progress.
