I feel a lot of people refer to this as "boring" because they're expecting it to be a lot like the video games with Geralt nonstop hunting various creatures and monsters. But it is adapted from the books which has a lot more speaking and world building than people may like at the moment.

While big moments are on the way, I do feel like this show is making sure it earns them. It had enough action and character building to set the scene for what is assured to be an excellent season 2!

Henry Cavill is fantastic as Geralt and plays the part of the almost monotone character perfectly with that gristle and charm of the witch we all know and love.

Is it perfect? No. But it is engaging, action oriented and heading in a manner that could make this show truly iconic.
