Ok, first things first, red the books, played the games. Loved them. Sapkowsky is trully a great writer, and i recomend everyone to pick up the witcher books and read them. The good, and very good: the actors played the characters very well, they are all really talented. Costumes, lighting, music, swordplay, atmosphere, scenery enjoyed all of it. The bad. Pacing, writing and the so called adaptation. I dont konw it these people have red past the third book. Everything is rushed, all the stories butchered, it's confusing, and it's a mess. Even outright mistakes. They let out all the crucial and important stuff. A lot of scenes left without impact because of others that weren't included. There is alot to say, but i recomand the people who didn't read the books to red them. It will help you understant. The whole thing feels rushed, they needed to give the plots more time. Either more than 8 episodes, or two seasons. As an adaptation the story, about witch the produces said it would be faithfull the books, this show is a 3 or 4 , luckly everything else saves it. As a generic fatasy show, maybe an 7-8. I hope they will do better next season, i want this show to succeed because i love the witcher, but we can't hand out 9 and 10. Just because we like Henry, or the music in that first episode got me exited. For now, this series, and it panis me, it's a 6
