This review is for season 1. I want to start this review on a positive note. Henry Cavill is fantastic as Geralt of Rivia. He was an excellent casting choice and his acting is so good that he fades into the character. This show started out very promising with him on screen introducing the audience to the character and the background of the story. As simplistic as it sounds, the show probably would have been more enjoyable if it was just about him hunting monsters for eight episodes than the way the show actually developed.

I wish I could say that the show was able to retain the quality of story telling that it started with, but frankly it did not. The story line bounced between many different characters and between the present and the past so often that I had difficulty trying to figure out exactly how much time was supposed to have elapsed between certain parts of the story line and the present. I also have to say that some of the characters that the show devoted time to develop in order to attempt to make the audience care about them, such as Queen Calanthe, I never cared about no matter how many flashbacks they showed. The writers also failed to develop characters that I can't help but think they REALLY should have devoted some more time to develop such as Fringila. Overall the show was definitely watchable and at times quite enjoyable, but it was also kind of disappointing because the writing was so disjointed and the ending was kind of predictable.
