Anyone who says this is a "perfect", "flawless", or "amazing", does a disservice to this because it is a plain exaggeration. What that creates, and what I was sorely tempted to do, was to score the series at a one star to balance the scales. So, if you love something, don't exaggerate because it will inevitably muddy the waters. Just try and explain why you like it, even though it is more work. 👍

The cg in the first sequence is far from perfect, not to say anything about the pacing of the fight. HC's acting is wooden, and out of synch with the tone. It is like he is not sure if he is supposed to be doing it straight, or if they are sending up fantasy films of today. Or, just does not respect the material/take it seriously. I would say this also applies to many of the performances in this series.

The script is full of dialogue that feels like it was crafted by a tenth grade drama class. Full of anachronisms. Worse than GOT in that regard.

Gratuitous nudity, check. I'm not judging nudity, just how effectively it was used. I would say poorly, but certainly was present and not suble.

The look of The Witcher is not consistent either, often changing visual tones in a jarring way when cutting between exteriors, interiors, and the cgi designs.

If you are willing to overlook these elements, The Witcher has the potential to offer some long-term, big storytelling possibilities.
