As others have said, it's pretty confusing. I feel like this show expects you to know the background-what's going on with the characters, their abilities, who they have relationships with and etc- but that's really not practical. I'm hoping Netflix takes the reviews into consideration come season 2; they need to explain in a lot more detail.

That being said, I loved playing the Witcher 3 and the show reminds me quite a bit of it. Many of the characters are perfectly fit for their roles. The CGI is great. I will watch season 2 but if it's as hectic and complex as s1, I honestly doubt the show will succeed.
