Overall, this first season was very entertaining. I think this is just a good example of how having solid source material can be easily relied on. The plot is amazing, the main characters feel fleshed out and intriguing, and the world feels lived in. Is this because of the script? Nah. I imagine this adaptation is probably poorly written in comparison to the book. This TV series takes a "non-chronological" approach, and it was a bit clunky.

At the end of the day though, the show adequately displayed a vision for a vast and expansive world. It's theme of "following destiny" makes me want to finish the ride I've started. I'll for sure want to explore more of this world when season 2 comes.

Full disclosure, I did play the latest Witcher game (which was one of the greatest games of the decade), yet I still felt confused in some of the parts of the show. So for those that want to watch, it's worth the ride but pay close attention!!

8/10 overall.
