I had never heard of the Witcher before I started watching this series. As an avid fantasy lover I started to watch this with a friend, but after only 1,5 episodes we just could not go on because it was terrible. This show throws names around like we just should know what everything is, the timelines jump like crazy too. I decided to watch on alone (do watch this with headphones or something on, it makes a big difference).

The further along the story went, the better it went (my take: the awful acting of Queen Calanthe, less messy storylines and it all seemed to slow down a little bit).

After I saw this series I have started reading the books and I noticed that everything wrong with the series (the weird storyline, plot that didnt seem to work and the awful dialogue) didn't come from the books at all, and everything that was right with the series did.

Henry Cavill was amazing as Geralt, I like Freya Allan, Anya Chalotra and Joey Batey. Also the actress cast as Tissaia was phenomenal.

I still have high hopes for next season, but they need to adjust the timeline (please slow down!), stop adding bad diologue (keep closer to the books) and I that will make the big difference.
