As someone who hasn't read the books I feel I'm missing out on a lot of depth as the characters sometimes seem to be missing depth and background stories. All in all just poor character development. I believe there's a lot more to The Witcher character than there's shown in the story line. Also, the frequent switching of timelines without indication of when and what is happening is really frustrating. Henry Cavill is the reason I kept watching. Otherwise I probably would have switched off by now.
