Netflix the Witcher is a great show and an overall a great adaption of the first two books with a few, understandable, liberties taken. While at first I thought that the direction was kind of "unelegant" or "too fast paced", it took me a second viewing of the first episode to understand the direction and style they chose for the story they were going to tell and the narrative structure of its entire season. The story is not told in a conventional way which may turn people off, since the fictional world of the Witcher is not widely known to the general public, with the exception of readers and gamers. Basically, the show transports the viewer immediately into its world, the story, its characters, as well as its thematic approach of "destiny" and "the lesser evil", without much of an exposition, expecting the viewer to pay attention and assemble the pieces as the season progresses.

In terms of its performances everyone does an amazing job, especially Henry Cavill as the main lead who plays Geralt of Rivia and Anya Chalotra who plays Yennefer of Vengerberg. Direction is on point and in correlation with its narrative structure while cinematography and special effects do a great job to showcase the vastness of the Continent and diversity of the "Monster" species.

Flaws, in my opinion, are also its uniqueness, which is its narrative structure and storytelling which, at first, may be too unexpected for "casual, regular audience". Main reason why is because, like I said, the show transports you right into its world and story and, as a result, there is much of world building, which is essential to the world of the Witcher. The show doesn´t ease you slowly in its world. In my opinion, this show is not designed for binge watching, not counting that each episode lasts 1 hour. The shortest episode is 47 to 49 minutes. The longest is 1 hour and 10 minutes if I am not mistaken.

In my opinion Netflix the Witcher is a great show with a solid start with a potential to be an amazing fantasy series that tells a story about love, destiny and a lesser evil. Also, this is not Game of Thrones 2.0!!!
