I think the acting is not very good in this show and putting black people in to be "diverse" is very annoying (virgo is pale like snow in the books and here she is black lol). A TV shows should be true to the source and not push a political agenda. There are also some effects that looked so bad and amateurish (the wedding where that storm all of a sudden started for example). The dialogs and reactions were really mediocre and at some points straight out stupid, I dont have an example at hand right now but there were a lot of scenes, where I thought, that they are making fun of my intelligence. Another Desaster are some of the costumes. The nilfgardians had the ugliest armor I have ever seen. It looked like plastic. Another bad example are these goatpeople... What the hell? That looked like a costume from a movie that was made in the 70s. I can't recommend this show and I am amazed at how this could get such a high rating. Weird. I truly belive, that Lauren Schmidt shouldn't have been the director of this show. She is a way too political person and it has shown in this show. A show like this needs a director, who is truly exceptional and not someone as mediocre and political as her.
