Disappointing. I wonder how much people of here actually read a book inside of their hands. I could only watch 3 episodes just for being able to give it a chance but nope. It does not deserve your precious time while you can find shows that are way better structured than this. Let's be real here, the Witcher series do really have a great story that could be turned into an epic show. Because it is creative, out of the world and has really lots of potential. The potential is wasted. And the first cause of it is actually how the writing and the dialogues seem like came out of a 12 year old fantasy book story with cheap daily life English while The Witcher is a medieval story. Just for being able to analyze it i downloaded the dialogues of each episodes and one of has *at least 13* times of saying the 'destiny' word. Yes just for only one episode. It only has pretty images with great clothing but the words that come out of the characters are ridiculously empty. The other problem is that how much you can see alternative choices that could be made for the story itself but the cast didn't do that just for being able to put some drama on it. And that drama is dry and tried so hard to be put it in. Characters couldn't be developed in a way more deep way and the relationship of each of them is unrealistic. No real emotion when they lose whoever they have in their lives. It just happens because it has to, because the cast wanted to turn it into a fast progress story in 8 episodes. With those reasons, it is impossible to align with the characters even if they lose someone close to them or if they are abused or if they are alone. Because all of them preferred to be shown like it is just normal. Way too dry. All of the characters seems to have a duty and that's keeping one person alive as much as possible and while doing that they only say 1-2 words only and they are always the same. I could say even more, it does not deserve your time. Such a Mediaeval Fantasy shouldn't be worse than a Disney series. Even animes and those Disney series has better English writing. Saying it as a person whose English is not her first language. But just as a person who played that game and planning to read the series.
