I'm not going to talk about the things that other reviewers have already mentioned - the flawed cast, acting, pace, etc. I'm here to tell you this Witcher is not what Sapkovsky wanted to tell you.

Sapkovsky's Witcher is not about opressed minorities, not about the rights of women, the gays and lesbians and what not.

Sapkovsky's Witcher is about what it means to be a human. His message is completely different from that of the tv show.

If you want to watch some Witcher related content, do yourself a favour and watch anime Claymore. Claymore was obviously inspired by Witcher and I've never seen more brutal and erotic animation than Claymore.

Skip this LGBT stuff.
