My impression as Polish person watching American vision of The Witches(epitome of polish/Slavic fantasy) Generally good so far, forced diversity is bit painful but I'm trying to not be butthurt about it. Unfortunately original sarcastic humor that made books so appealing was not well translated into movie reality, but I didn't expect this some word games and cultural/historic references are not possible to broadcast. Henry Cavil is doing really well portraying Geral, he is awesome with sword, definitely eye candy and he is doing brooding really well. In my line of work we call it "seen it, touched it all, got a t-shirt" type, and that's exactly how witcher suppose to be he saw some shit and he is still alive. Jaskier is a perfect cast and they have proper bro-mance with Geralt, singing is painfully modern but we need a comic relief and he is so good in this( as the book version is). Yennefer - actress is good, acting is good, visuals - she suppose to be pale as a winter itself but we have beautiful Indian olive skin, if actress performance was poor it it would be a problem but she is doing good job so visuals fade in background. Tris Merigold -just NO! how can you miscast so much one of main and favorite character( and Geralt second best love interest). Visuals - complete fail she suppose to be 20-is looking cheeky red head,( stereotypical Irish) we have middle age Hispanic. Character - life smart boyish softie, and we got soccer mom in series. just No and one star minus for this Other characters doing well cast wise and although some of them change race (from white to black) or age ( from old as trees to sexy 40-is) they are generally well cast. Monsters - very good CGI except the dragons Swordsmanship and battle scenes - absolutely glorious, gore and as realistic as ED doctor can dream of ( yes injuries were very accurate)

My recommendation, worth to watch and I will be following the series. I just have a little heart ache that something so fundamentally polish was not strong enough to resist cut/paste match for all american culture. P.S Did I mention boobies? ... and sex... and hairy chest of Geralt?
