I don't know the games or the books, so I binge watched it all today in one go with fresh eyes. I liked it enough to basically take the day off to do that.

There are many things I really like, Cavill is a great Geralt, grunts a bit too often, but he really seems absorbed into his charachter.

But the timelines keep jumping around back and forth and since people hardly age it is very difficult to understand where in the story we are.

Also most charachters are pretty flat, there are just three charachters that really matter.

Also the show keeps jumping from being something really suitable for adults to something made more for 12 year olds.

The Witcher story seems more suitable for grown ups than for children.

Especially the Harry Potter school parts feel really forced and artificial. And too many other elements like life and intrigue at court are just hinted at. where are 30 years of life at court for yenevere?

For me it works best, when there is a one monster challenge or story central to an episode, releasing the haunted girl from the curse is a good one.

I think if they want to continue with more seasons, they really need to get their timelines right and invest more in interesting dialogue for the side charachters.

Too much is not believable or alludes to other series like Harry Potter which pulls you right out of the witcher.

I do look forward to following this show, but again and gain we see, it is mostly the dialogue, the believability of charachters that carries a show. Production value helps, but first you need a great story.

The witcher has a lot of potential, so I hope they improve.
