Oh my god what have they done. They have taken a great book series that was translated into a brilliant video game series and removed it from any shred of reality. The fight scenes are great and it feels like they spent all of their money on choreography and realised that their was no money left for script-writing and cinematography. The camera angles and colour changes in post are tacky, the one-liners are uninspired and lackluster. The entire story has been remixed into something different and something not entertaining. It looks like they have gone out of their way to make this bad.

BUT if you have never heard of the witcher and never engaged with anything to do with the concept before, maybe you will enjoy it. When compared to what has come before for this series, it is terrible.

I have a soft spot for Henry Cavill, and I struggle to understand the acting choices here. He acts like a first year drama student, one shot will have 0 emotion and the next will have 3 at the same time. I want to believe it was the result of confusing direction, the rest of the show seems to have confusing direction so why not.
