It gets a 3 because of season 1. Otherwise it would be a 2 or even 1.

As others have said already, this is the perfect example of what can go wrong with a show when you ignore, or have complete disdain, for the source material. Not only did this mean the butted heads with Henry, who is as most people know a mega nerd over the books and the games, but openly mocked the source material.

I would have thought that 'The Witcher' would be the primary character in a show called ... you guessed it "The Witcher.' But no, the agenda and personal hangups the writers and producers have in their own lives meant the ruined this show. Game of Thrones will long sit as an example of how to set a stage correctly, giving us insight into each faction and location so we have a clear sense of where and how far things are from each other. Whereas, even from season 1, the show failed to do that.

It's surprising to find out that Henry had to push for the 'goodbye Roach' scene as the writers had zero intention of making it an emotional scene. Why? Did they never ride a horse as a child? Do they have zero empathy at all for the pet or animal? Whatever the reason, not having a scene to mourn Roach would have been unforgivable.

Here's a tip - write the show the way it should have been written. This obsession with writers assuming they are above their station is a joke. Know your place! You write the script and that's it. The director and actors then interpret that script or correct it. Thinking they are the showrunners and have full control over the show just shows how out of touch these people are.

This has gone from a fairly decent show to an absolute disaster. Season 3 was the real what the moment for me. Sorry Liam but given how the writers have injected their identify politics, casting diversity to the point of choking the show and anti-male/hero sentiments, there is absolutely no way on Earth I would ever consider watching a season 4. But, apparently if the rumours are true, it has just been dumped anyway. Thank the Gods!!!

I hope the writer's strike drags on and on till many of them end up finding pother jobs that they will probably also suck at. Maybe Trump was right about draining the swamp but he chose the wrong swamp. I think it's the film and TV industry that needs draining. Or maybe just call in the Inquisition to perform an exterminatus and we replace the damn lot of them. I look forward to Henry's 40k show.
