Positives: 1. The Witcher: Brilliantly played by Henry Cavill. A master class. 2. Story: Has enough depth and material to really bring a fantasy world to life, all the while engaging the viewer to stick to, despite the many negatives as mentioned below.

Negatives: 1. No map: From the first episode, right till the end of the season, you never get any understanding of where everyone is. what kind of a world it is, what nations are present there, who is the superpower of the world, who is the underdog, the merchant nations, there is absolutely no grounding for anything...you get to see nilfgaard on the attack...but you dont know who or what they are...are they mountain people, or from the plains or the desert...where exactly is it located, the edge of the world or in the centre...who are the neighbours...what are the dynamics of this world...?? 2. Time Jumps: The story telling is just weird. Since most of the characters don't age, you can never tell in one look if the current scene you just started watching is in the past or the present timeline. and the jumps between timelines are very sudden as well as frequent so, at times, it leaves one wondering what exactly happened right now. 3. Back stories: Character back stories are almost non-existent. Maybe they would be incorporated within the storyline as the story goes along but still it's a rather dull affair not knowing where the motivation for certain acts is coming from. 4. CGI: The quality of CGI is pathetic TBH. The starting sequence of first episode is CGI. When the scene ends and actual Witcher (Cavill) is shown, you can't really link them together as the same person as the first scene. Also, the rendition of dragons is either really awful or our expectations have been elated by the GOT dragons; but I personally think it's the first one.
