Let's start off with the timeline...who decided it would be a good idea to have 3 different stories occurring at 3 different time periods? This makes the show feel disconnected and slightly confusing. Each story arc felt like its own story and didn't quite connect as it should. Henry Cavill did what he could with the acting but the emotionless aspect of The Witcher made his acting come across as cheesy. The acting of Yennifer felt stronger in the beginning as opposed to her eventual transformation. The special effects were alright in some scenes and not so great in others. The gratuitous nudity should have been replaced with more of a focus on action scenes and building Geralt's character. Geralt should be much stronger than he seemed as he kept putting himself in vicarious positions which made him seem weaker than he should be. I did notice and appreciate effort to give some shine to people of color on the show since the world is usually mostly white. This is not enough to get me to care about the show and it fell short by boring me more than keeping me interested. I'll go back to playing Witcher III (which i've enjoyed way more than any episode of the show) and might cautiously watch season 2 whenever it does come out.
