It looks cheap and is extremely slow. I had a hard time getting into it. The gore, the mediocre acting, the rather dull and uninteresting characters, the dark atmosphere, the music, the lights ... sigh. This doesn't look like a high budget show at all. So if you're a hardcore dark fantasy fan and don't mind low budget shows, The Witcher will entertain you. But after seeing the trailer and knowing it was advertised as the next big hit after "Game Of Thrones" I expected something that looked much, much better with a more intriguing story, better dialogues, better characters, better ... everything. I mean, it could be worse, I guess, but well... I even marked the air date in my calendar because I was so excited and now I don't even know if I want to finish this. A typical case of "false advertising".
