Don't waste your time watching The Witcher. Read the books or play the games. The worst tv show I could have ever watched is this one.

1.- The Witcher simply didn't develop it's characters, didn't give a chance to the audience to fall in love with them, gave away a bad display of events lead by the worse acting you could have seen in 2019, at least GoT got it right, and yes, there must have comparison always because those two are products and we are consumers, so compare everything, see competitors because that's what they are, and The Witcher falls off as the weakest of all those competitors out there.

2.- It is full of cliches and totally wrong things.

The Witcher series totally missed and/or skipped the medieval mindset and exchanged it for some cheap "modern" mindset, that again, bets for the female character that has nothing to offer and there's nothing likable about her and a dumb muscular male character that doesn't do anything aside of "hmmm".

3.- The political correctness. It just doesn't belong to this type of tv show but they forced it in it anyway.

4.- The acting in the series is the worst thing you will find in a while.

I will never understand why people continue saying that this was "carried" by Cavill, I'd say he is in fact the main reason why this is such a terrible show. His acting is dull, wooden, forced, seeing him trying to mimic the Witcher game's voice actor has been awful since the first episode, this guy is an actor that has nothing to offer in any role he's played, I have watched almost all of his movies and it's all the same, just poor acting, you can't blame his lack of acting skills on writers, this character he plays has absolutely nothing to do with the character Geralt is. It should look natural, but it doesn't, Cavill isn't capable of pulling off a dramatic scene, at all.

The female main characters don't fit with their role, they are nothing like the books or games physically, the fact that they didn't even bother themselves to respect and stay loyal to the source material is just mind blowing, and there you got no excuses. Yennefer by example, she's not some spoiled teen mean girl as displayed in the witcher series. She is a mature woman that knows what she wants, she's wise and is a witty lady, not some needy girl. Add to this the fact that the actress they have chosen is also bad and doesn't look anything close to a polish woman. The rest is even worse. I'd say the only decent acting was from MyAnna Buring that played Tissaia.

5.- The Witcher series is cheap. Bad costumes all over the place.

Aside of the poor acting I consider almost everything else a nightmare too, from most of the costumes, the wig of the Witcher, the eye lens that looked extremely obvious, the CGI, the scenery, etc. None of it is well made.

6.- The time changes weren't as annoying as the rest. If everything else was better it would have been tolerable, also the way the story developed isn't good at all either, it's like you are listening to a wiki page being read so you can catch up with the next event, everyone explaining stuff that you would have wanted to watch to actually care, instead of it you just get a guy telling you about it, by then you just don't have any feelings for the characters nor the events, just like when you read from a wiki page, you watch it without getting any emotional attachments.
