I'm going to be honest. I probably would not have completed season one if Henry Cavill wasn't playing Geralt. He carried the show on his buff, broad shoulders. Although there were some fun fighting scenes, the show was just too corny for me. I can't pinpoint it, but something made this show just incredibly cheesy. I'm sure some of it was cringe-worthy sfx makeup (the colored contacts and half-baked mythological characters were awful), a script that constantly flip-flopped between being corny and taking itself way too seriously, and a constant rattling on about DESTINY. Other than Geralt, the characters were generally unlikeable and static. Yennefer was particularly irritating. It seemed as though her character existed to complain about getting the things that she literally asked for. I'm not going to pretend I didn't enjoy some parts of the plot and certain aspects of the characters, I just feel like they could have been executed so much better. I will probably watch the next season when it comes out, so watching this show is not a complete waste of time. If you are looking for a show to watch just for fun, you don't want to have o pay attention too closely, and you're good at avoiding some second-hand embarrassment, go for it. You might really enjoy it. Hats off to Henry Cavill, he was enjoyable to watch.
