I enjoyed the first two seasons a lot, perhaps this is bias having recently been playing The Witcher 3 at the time of watching the show, but it's fight scenes, visuals and performances were thoroughly entertaining. If you are not familiar with any Witcher media then you may find it a little confusing as season 1 begins telling two stories in different time periods, featuring the same characters in parallel.

Season 3 is a massive let down. I enjoyed the first two episodes and after that the story slowed dramatically. Characters begin their own journeys and don't achieve the goal they set out, as well as make irrational decisions.

The plot is far too confusing; it spends a lot of time around the political aspects between the different geographic areas, but it's far too convoluted and doesn't give you a reason to care. You probably won't remember who's on who's side and where they are from and what they want because the show does a poor job of explaining this.

Ultimately, everything the season builds up to comes crashing down in a poorly executed climax all in one episode. It's akin to being stuck in neutral and then suddenly driving off a cliff. The worst part is this episode is NOT the final OR penultimate episode, therefore the rest of the season feels wasted as the story does not progress any further.

The visuals and action scenes remain very enjoyable. The performances are still stellar, particularly Henry Cavill as Geralt and Freya Allan as Ciri.

Season 3 tells a story that could have been told in 4 episodes max, in 8 episodes. Despite this, the story is still incomplete and not satisfactory.

I cannot currently recommend this show to anybody, as there doesn't really seem to be an audience for it. Fans of the source material will find an unfaithful adaption, people new to the Witcher may find it confusing, and if you don't then the show isn't that great anyway since the release of season 3. Instead I recommend playing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, it's a fantastic game and a much better use of your time.

Seasons 1-3: 7/10.
