It's a weird TV show. There's great acting, great CGI, good music, fabulous sets, amazing costumes and a sense of magic with movie quality filming. Then there's hammy acting, cringeworthy dialogue, every colour of obvious contact lenses and odd narratives where the characters are not behaving logically or rationally, but seemingly do things to attract viewer attention with gratuitous nudity, blood or sex. Personally I like the story to drive the work, not tits and blood to direct the story. Most characters have varying levels of narcissism, nobody has any altruism, and life is incredibly cheap.

I disliked Game of Thrones, I find The Witcher to be generally more watchable, but it's still a weak pastiche on Tolkien's original fantasy world, as with nearly all things in the fantasy genre.

It has redeeming features, and worth a watch, but it's all over the place, like it's directed by five different directors and only two speak English. Some scenes are generally absorbing, others stupid, gratuitous or cringe-making.
