The show is a wonderful rendition of the classic series.

Pros: The overall feel of the show definitely feels like a classic Witcher Tale, if you've read the books or played the games. Overall Lore, plot points, characters, are true to their source material and created well. The fight scenes are also top notch and beautifully executed, and serve to highlight Geralt's ability as a fighter and Witcher. Some of the monster scenes are also well done and heavily lean on the books too which isn't a bad thing.

Cons: The show is not without it's flaws. The show is heavily laden in fantasy tropes. If you've never heard of the series you might be turned off with the somewhat cliche themes of destiny, choice, and greater vs lesser evils. However these themes were also present in the books and games. Some of the CGI is great and terrifying, other scenes just feel odd and out of place. One scene seem to distract the viewer from the overall dialogue due to the SFX. Some of the writing feels stale at times when it'll lean too heavily on those cliche themes I mentioned previously. And finally some of the costume designs look cheap. Geralt is this world renowned monster Slayer, you think he'd afford some top quality Witcher Gear.

Overall, this is a great rendition of the series, and with the massive crowd the show has drawn already, Netflix has a new hit in their Library. I just hope they take some of the flaws present and improve. If they can do that for S2, then they have a true winner.
