For me it seemed a bit rushed in terms of everything that happens in season one but it could have easily been a show of nothing but monster killing which would have been much worse. The rushed character development was a bit much but I can understand this first season really being about world building. The timeline seemed very sloppy till the last few episodes, I see what they were going for but it needed maybe some more time in the editing room. Overall I enjoyed bingeing this show and I look forward to season 2 which is set to release in 2021. I wasn't expecting the next GOT, and having that expectation for any show is unrealistic because of how good GOT was(even season 8). The Witcher is good, not great and I'm okay with that.
