As someone who has read all the books and invested 700 hours into W3, i cannot stress how dissapointed i am by this show. The story is extremely rushed, characters are changed from a slavic medieval fantasy. As somebody from Eastern Europe, this is truly annoying. What is the reason for this?

1. Story is so rushed, i don't understand WHY. WHY do you make an adaptation of a famous series only to push your personal opinion and agenda in it? WHY not follow the books? They are awesome and yet characters were completely butchered.

2. Geralt and Jaskier are played very good, they along with Mousesack, Calanthe and a few others are the only decent ones.

3. Different Fringilla, different Triss / WHY? Fringilla never studied at Aretuza, is the cousin of Anna Henrietta, duchess of Toussaint. In the books she is basically Yennefer with short hair, that is why Geralt falls in love with her?. Why then?

4. Yennefer looks like a mad 15 year old. The actress that's playing her is trying her best, but her role is miscast. Yen in the books has a more mature role, she is smart and not some impulsive chick. Why does her character blame the world because she can't have children when SHE chose this knowingly?

5. Huge budget, huge dissapointment. Is it so hard to follow the books? WHY do you adapt them if you're gonna butcher them?

I really tried to like it, the only points are for 3-4 characters but the others are horrible and the writing is subpar. Really dissapointed for a show with such a huge budget.

Books - 10 Games - 10 TV series - 5 at best. Rushed story / Netflix does it again.
