I've had my doubts from the trailer because let's face it, they were terrible. As a HUGE fan of the game series, I was afraid of the final product. But let's not lie to ourselves and pretend the casting and character designs besides Henry are pleasing. It's like screaming in your face. From the "ethnic" diversity to weird dialogues to even ignoring looks described in the books in a very particular fashion. People complained about yennifer's look, wait till they see what they did to triss merigold she's like a completely made up new character. I thinks that's the biggest blow here is that lauren is forcing some "ideas" down our throats.

So why give it a 10? Because despite all that I was actually hooked from the start to finish. I was so used to Geralt from the games; how he looks and sounds and acts, when I saw the trailer I hated Henry. That's why I said the trailers misrepresented the show entirely. I'm not in the slightest way a big fan of Henry, specially him as superman. But he actually, I can go on and claim, killed the role as geralt. He brought geralt to life.

The show is awesome I was really pleased with how it as a whole turned out. From the graphics to the directions to the acting (generally). Sure it has it's flaws as I mentioned above but for some reason these flaws were masked and I didn't feel compelled or forcing myself any time throughout the 8 hours. Super entertaining and catchy as a first season I actually wanted to see more even though I know what happens next.

Give it a genuine try. I did, and I loved it. Great work looking forward to season 2!
