The good: *Henry Cavill performs extremely well in most scenes involving him *Small scale battles are well done *Some scenes are truly beautiful (yennefer+geralt first meeting, the ambience and line deliveries were near-perfect)

The bad: *Editting is pretty poor (so transitions are jarring) *Some scenes don't add a lot to the story, and since the first season is trying to do a lot (juggle 3 stories and trying to connect them in a meaningful way) a lot of important relationships end up being quite shallow (Ciri and Geralts relationship, for example). This left me with a bit of a rushed feeling.

The mixed: *A lot of the humor / plot clues were repeated several times. Nobody likes being spoonfed too much. *I also found the humor odd in some situations, such as when two onlookers observe a sex scene between two people they thought were dead. Maybe the tone lingered on being silly for a bit too long considering the general topics of personal drama, world-ending-prophecies, and gritty realism. *Monster hunting takes a very minuscule backseat in most of the story, with one notable exception (Anna and Foltrest). For a series called the witcher (monster hunter) I would have liked some more insight into 'witchering'. What does Geralt know of his mark, what is he doing to track them / prepare against them, and how did his encounter go? I wouldn't have to see him fight a monster in every episode, but I would have liked a bit more.
