I loved how the first season was paced, and the look & feel of it. If you are not familiar with the source material, I can understand that the first season can be a tough pill to swallow. The second season diverts from everything that made the first season so good. It's as if the showrunner listened to everyone but the fans. The second season is more or less linear all the way. All nudity is almost gone, and there is no sex at all. Say what you want/like it or not, but sex and nudity has always been a big part of the Witcher books (and games), and it feels just so out of place that there is more or less none of it in season 2. And why on earth would you cut down on Jaskier's role? He is one of the only things that saves season 2 from being a complete dud, and yet... why is there so little of him?! One thing that plagues both seasons is the post production, especially the editing, which can be really bad. Even amateurish at times. Let's hope season 3 picks up the slack, because season 2 suffers from "The Two Towers" syndrome. And bring back the fan service. It worked (and was okay) with Game of Thrones, where sex and nudity is also plays a big part. Season 1 of The Witcher is really, really good. Season 2 is just ok.
