8 episodes made it feel like the story was going too fast and that some thing's that happened in season 1 should've happened later on in the series. But i haven't read the books or played the games so i wouldn't know.

The names of places and people and creatures will take some getting used to. (like any other fantasy) Honestly at one point, with the episode of the 'Striga', i was 30 minutes in before i realised i had no idea what was happening and who was who so i quickly pulled up 'the witcher' wiki and restarted the episode.

The timeline was also confusing. It was only episode 4 when i realised the characters weren't appearing chronologically. In the end it all came together nicely and i thought it was a decent method of story telling. (although dates wouldn't have hurt).

Apart from those three things it was a really great watch. I loved the characters and the actors portrayals or those characters and the story is just so interesting. can't wait for season.

@The Mandalorian, this is how a tv show about a brooding loner/anti hero is made.
