It was going to be hard to satisfy everyone because of the huge fanbase that the Witcher games and books left behind.

There are a lot of aspects in which the series succeeded: the music, the look and feel of the overworld and towns, the dialogue and the combat is very much Witcher-like. The main character is beautifully displayed by Henry Cavill, who did not even have a stuntman and did all the fight scenes himself, truly amazing!

Unfortunately, there are a lot of downsides too. The plot starts off thinly and quickly turns into a confusing mess that goes all over the place. The storylines of the many side characters are beyond ridiculous. There are a lot of random Game of Thrones-esque gore scenes that do not add anything.

I would still recommend a watch, if only barely. Just try to look past the flaws and immerse yourself into the Witcher world one more time.
