I'm a fan of the game and I love the characters they put in this first season. The acting and dialogue of some of the supporting cast can be hit and miss. The story arc was great but the dialogue they chose to flesh it out is spotty in places. Some of the scenes are unnecessarily drawn out, pacing and cinematography for scenes are sometimes poor.

Here is what I like - the fight choreography was great. Geralt, Yennefer, Tissaia, Istredd, Eist, Zigrin, Jaskier were well cast and put in great performances. The CGI and effects were convincing. Yennefer's origin story was inspired though she probably transitioned too quickly into a power hungry temptress in the series.

Hope other main characters like Vesemir will be well cast when he appears. Just like the game, I think the series will live and die off the interactions and interplay of characters with Geralt and Ciri. Geralt and Ciri are just the powerful driving forces - the supporting cast the humour and the charm. The monsters offer terror while the factions add intrigue.

Hope they get to work right away making a bigger and better season 2.
