It's honestly comical to me that the writers have been permitted to continue on this show. Can you imagine if when creating Lord of the Rings, the writers mocked the original source material? That's basically what's happening here -- the writers have no respect for and even dislike the original content.

The original source material is extremely popular and considered great, and loved by many (including Cavill). I made it through a couple episodes of season 3, but even with the limited number of episodes, I couldn't finish it. It was that terrible.

The writers for this show need to realize and understand that they have much, much, much less talent than Andrzej Sapkowski. In fact, I will now address them directly: you need to step down. If you want to express your (inferior) story telling, then create your own content.

Essentially, you've drawn a mustache on a Picasso then called it an improvement. You grossly overestimate your own skill and have absolutely no right to criticize and change such beloved content like The Witcher books.

So, what we have here is people who got into positions of power, began to grossly overestimate their own skill and importance, and then made a comically, hilariously, pathetically terrible attempt at "improving" the story.

Unbelievable.

3/10 exclusively to give credit to the actors and a decent amount of season 1. Beyond that, the only reason it's not absolute garbage is due to the skill of the actors. The actors get a 10/10, the writers get a -7/10. Utter and absolute incompetence.

Fire the current writers, hire someone who will stick to the original source content, and then get Cavill back on baord.

And Netflix? Stop putting absolute morons on positions of power/decision making, and for f's sake, don't give them the freedom to modify an established story like The Witcher. What on earth were you even thinking.
